From Our Family to Yours

We wanted to take a moment to extend our sincere gratitude to all who make Da Vinci Schools possible — from our board, to our staff, to our students, teachers, community partners, and community leaders. We’d also like to thank the WUSD Board of Trustees; Dr. Blake Silvers; WUSD PTAs, teachers, and staff; and all the parents and guardians who choose Da Vinci Schools and trust us with your child/ren’s education.

We are so grateful to all for your trust and support.

We hope you like our new monthly Life @ DV newsletter and that you find the articles we write to be informative and helpful to you and your family.

May you enjoy a wonderful holiday season.

In partnership,

The Da Vinci Schools Family
