A Message from the Principal:

From the Principal's Desk:

Happy Holidays to all Davis Dragons, Parents, and Staff! We have had a wonderful first trimester at Davis Elementary with a strong focus on academics, sprinkled with lots of fun activities and assemblies. It has been a true joy to be principal at this excellent school.

As many of you know, we have been focusing on a word of the month that teaches good character. Our word for this month is RESPONSIBILITY. Responsibility is something that all of us are faced with throughout our lives. As we become adults and parents we are suddenly overwhelmed with all the responsibilities of our jobs, our home, our children and our society.

What a disservice we give our children if we never teach them to be responsible! Suddenly they reach adulthood and they don't have a clue what is means to live independently.

As teachers and as parents, we owe it to our children to expect them to be responsible. At school students need to be responsible for getting their work done in class and also their homework. They also need to be responsible for turning in quality work to the best of their ability. They have a responsibility to listen in class and follow directions. At Davis Elementary, teachers work hard to instill this sense of responsibility in our students. Students who succeed are those whose parents also have high expectations for their students in school. When parents support us in our efforts to teach our students to be responsible, wonderful results occur. When parents don't support our efforts, the opposite occurs. Students get the attitude that as long as mom and dad don't care, then they don't either.

Parents can also help their students to learn responsibility by giving them responsibility at home. Different families and situations require different amount of responsibility on the part of the student, but students who grow up never having to do a chore sometimes have rude awakenings when they move out into the real world.

Let's give our students a lasting gift this Christmas and make sure that they have an opportunity to show how responsible they can be, both at home and school.

Have a wonderful holiday season with your family.

Davis Students are TRRFCC!!
