     Parent involvement is integral to the success of the student, both at home and in the classroom.  The administration and staff at Davis have worked to create an environment open to parental participation on many different levels.   Our parents provide proactive support in grade-specific reading initiatives, cultural arts activities, media center support, science and computer learning, and other activities beyond traditional fund-raising.  In addition, the Davis PTA is well supported, with objectives focusing on support of families and the education of all students in our community.

     The overall success of the Davis community lies in its vision, teamwork and commitment.  A caring and nurturing atmosphere exists with a high level of trust and a genuine respect for individual differences.  High expectations for student achievement, along with the expertise and innovation of the staff, a variety of programs available to students, the active involvement of parents and PTA, and the supportive relationship of our business partners combine to create a school organization with a passion for excellence.
