A Message from Our Principal

Dear New Designs Charter-Watts Families,

As the principal of New Designs Charter School-Watts, it is my pleasure to welcome new and returning families to a great year at NDCS-Watts. Please be reminded that our uniform policy is a full go for this school year and is non-negotiable. All students must attend school in the prescribed uniform per grade level. Please visit our website for more information regarding our uniform policy. 

I encourage all our parents to become active participants this academic school year. With your support, our staff and students can have amazing events, school supplies, and field trip opportunities.

In Learning,

DeVon Jackson
