Davisburg Dateline

🎮 Leveling Up!

Hello, Davisburg Community!

How is it already nearly October? This school year has been moving at the speed of a “Sonic Boom!”

We truly have been Leveling Up this school year—whether it is our students “Learning with Power. Super Power!” or our amazing staff “Teaching with Power. Super Power!”

Now that we are four weeks into the school year, I am excited to see Leveling Up taking shape throughout our building. It is more than just a theme. It is about challenging ourselves, growing each day, supporting one another, and finding joy in learning.

We had a great turnout for our first PTC meeting, and I was thrilled to see so many Davisburg parents and guardians invested in supporting our students, staff, and school community. Your involvement and partnership make a tremendous difference!

On Thursday, we held our first LEAD Assembly of the year! We celebrated our Leveled Up LEADers of the Month, kicked off our schoolwide book, Only One You, to jump-start our first LEAD theme of Kindness, and our students did a fantastic job singing a few songs together.

I also introduced our new LEAD Ticket Bucket! As students demonstrate our LEAD skills, they will help fill the bucket with tickets. Once it is full, we will celebrate together as an entire school! Even better, I will be seeking student input on ideas for what that buildingwide celebration could look like. Our students are helping us Level Up, so they should have a voice in how we celebrate!

This week also marked the start of our updated car line and bus dismissal procedures. We are already seeing increased safety and efficiency in both areas. I will continue seeking feedback from staff, students, and families as we work together to make these processes even better.

Thank you to our students, staff, and families for helping make our first month together such a positive start. Leveling Up takes all of us, and I cannot wait to see just how far we can go together this year.

Four weeks down, and we’re just getting started. Davisburg is Leveling Up! 🎮⭐

Have a wonderful weekend!
