Dear Davis Academy Parents,
We are writing to inform you about an important safety drill scheduled for this Tuesday at 10:00am. In conjunction with New Haven Public Schools, the City of New Haven, and the New Haven Police Department, our staff and students will conduct a full evacuation drill to Mauro Sheridan.
This drill is a crucial part of our commitment to ensuring the safety of our students and staff. Practicing these procedures in their entirety helps us prepare for any future situations that may arise. We expect the entire process to take approximately 45 minutes from start to finish.
The drill will take place weather permitting, but please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately for the day’s conditions.
Our school nurse will coordinate any necessary medications, and traffic control will be managed by the police department to ensure the safety of all participants. Students will walk to Mauro Sheridan, where teachers will practice safety procedures upon arrival. After the drill, students will return to Davis Academy by bus.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to the principal.
Thank you for your cooperation and support in keeping our school community safe.
Sincerely,
Marisa Asarisi
Principal
Davis Academy
📸 Picture Retake Day – November 5, 2025
Davis Academy for Arts and Design Innovation
Dear Families,
If your child needs a photo retake, please mark your calendars for Wednesday, November 5, 2025.
To have their photo retaken, students must return their original picture package to the school on or before retake day. This is required for the retake to be processed.
Important Reminders:
Retakes are only available for students who return their original photos or students who were absent on picture day.
Please ensure your child brings the complete photo package back to school.
If no background is selected, the photo will be taken on the most generic background.
Payments for photo packages can be made via cash, check, or money order payable to Donner Photographic, Inc.
If you choose to have a sibling photo taken, please complete and submit form.
Thank you for your attention and cooperation!
For questions, contact the school office or Donner Photographic at (860) 886-2475 Option 1.
Dear Davis Families,
I want to take a moment to address the recent threat made against our school, which was deemed not credible. I am incredibly proud of our Davis staff and students for their calm and composed response during this situation.
I also want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our Davis parents for your patience, compassion, and understanding as our team worked through this situation. Your support means so much to us.
Please know that New Haven Public Schools takes threats very seriously. The responsible party has been identified, and appropriate disciplinary action is being taken in accordance with the Unified Code of Conduct.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, I invite you to join us for the PTA meeting on October 8th at 5:30 PM at Davis. Your involvement and support are greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Warm regards,
Marisa Asarisi
