Principal’s Message - September 2023

GATOR FAMILIES—Welcome to a wonderful school year at Davidsonville Elementary! It’s truly an amazing place for children! The first two weeks of school have been so positive. It’s great to have students back with us!

We’re extremely excited this year to announce the launch of Arts & Humanities at DES. This additional course for all students is part of the Triple E program and will start in October. We’ll share more details about this opportunity at Back-to-School Night.

Our school will continue to participate in the PBIS Program this year to support all students in making positive behavior choices. In addition, students will participate in Second Step lessons during the Wellness Block to support social/emotional learning and connectedness. To help continue these efforts, we are excited to have “Chris in the Classroom” join our school in September for a daytime assembly as well as an evening family event. His lighthearted presentation centers around fun social/emotional empowerment strategies and building a culture of resilience. Look out for more information regarding this evening program on September 20th.

As you start the school year, please make a point to update your child’s emergency card so we can ensure we have your most up-to-date contact information. In addition, should you have additional information to share, like custody paperwork, please keep our office informed.  Again, welcome to a new school year! Don’t hesitate to reach out throughout the school year should the need arise. I’m excited to be on this school journey with you!

  Mrs. Colleen Harris
