2025-26 School Year: Brain Power Under the Tower!
Davis students, teachers, and staff members are working so hard during the 2025-26 school year, with amazing support from our students' families and community! As a Community School, our areas of focus are:
- Academic Growth and Achievement as an IB PYP Candidate School
- Supporting and Sharing Leadership With Our Students' Families
- Citizenship and Safety at School
Wallace R. Davis was known for his personal warmth and caring nature. We strive to follow his example. He said, "Dream big and once you have that dream, don't let anyone take it away from you. You must have faith in tomorrow...we must have faith in you."
We have the best students, families and school staff at Davis Elementary!
