About Us

DAVIS SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY

The Davis Community School students and staff are enriched by cultural, social, physical, and academic diversity. We are a neighborhood school that takes pride in the absolute right of every student to receive the best education possible, and we accept the responsibility to create the proper environment necessary in attaining that goal.

We believe that our children are our most valuable resource and our programs must address the needs of each in order that they may succeed. We must promote a positive sense of self-worth and confidence that will allow each student to say "I can do that."

We know that in order to accomplish this, we must enter into a partnership with our parents and community, and with this cooperation we will move forward together in support of our children.

BULLDOG CULTURE

The Davis offers a variety of fun-filled activities and events throughout the year. The Davis Bulldogs are known throughout the school district for going big on Read Across America Day- a national literacy event that takes place each March. We sponsor different “drives” with students to assist the community/homeless during holidays. Our school culture encompasses motivation, and we emphasize- “I think I can; I know I can”, with “A Little Salt in our Shoes”, because “what’s Meant to be is up to Me”. The Davis School celebrates our diverse student population with our Middle School International Luncheon which highlights the food and culture of our students. The Davis School also showcases the hard work and progress made by our students during our annual Day at the Davis where families and community members are welcome to visit classrooms.
