 Winfred Roberson, |
Welcome to the Davis Joint Unified School District. We open our 2010-11 school year with a student centered focus and a commitment to our mission and purpose of providing quality educational programs for all students. |
After returning from summer activities, many of our parents have already shared positive feedback about the registration and enrollment process at our school sites. Much thanks to our counselors, clerical staff and parent volunteers for making this happen.
Over three hundred new kindergarten students will begin the first year of their K-12 journey this month. Each new school year brings unique growth experiences for students as they navigate through the next grade. Regardless of a student's grade level, we are committed to help him/her transition successfully and have a great learning year.
High student achievement and great classroom instruction remains our focus. These are the nonnegotiable standards that give Davis schools their stellar academic reputations. Your student has been entrusted to men and women who are life long learners, caring and compassionate individuals who are committed to teaching and learning.
Both students and parents benefit from our support staff, comprised of individuals with knowledge and expertise readily willing and available to serve as needed. Also, our district administration recognizes the value of support, staff development and student services, and is committed to removing obstacles which prevent students and staff from maximizing their potential. Each of these groups is fully supported by a five member Board of Trustees elected by the Davis community. Their single agenda is the success of all students and staff in the Davis Joint Unified School District.
Parents, community foundations, and area businesses generously support education in the Davis Joint Unified School District. Your fundraising and volunteer activities play a significant role in student success. We encourage your ongoing support for all students and look forward to another successful year.
I hope you find the information on the DJUSD website helpful. You’ll find diverse topics such as the school lunch program, district policies (including the newly revised homework and fundraising policies), budget information, and parent resources such as ParentConnect. We welcome your suggestions on how to improve our website.
Best wishes for a wonderful school year!
