Black Inventor and Innovator STEM fair
Our Black Inventor and Innovator STEM fair was a huge success. Our Davisville JPS students researched and highlighted Black heroes in STEM whose contributions have led to revolutionary discoveries and inventions. Our Spectrum Alternative students applied their STEM skills and their equity lens to create accessible and inclusive playgrounds and inventions that remove and break down barriers to promote inclusion for all. So proud of all the work achieved and the sense of dedication, pride and accomplishment displayed by all of our students. Thank you to all the families who were able to join us for this wonderful event.
School Cleanup Day (Earth Day)
The Eco-club organized the School Cleanup Day for Davisville by registering with the City of Toronto's School Cleanup Day on April 22nd
(Earth Day). Participating classes cleaned up our Davisville school yard
and surrounding area. Some classes also went to clean neighbourhood
parks, such as June Rowlands Park and Oriole Park.
Thank you to Ms. Heath and all other eco-club members who put forth great effort and time to organize our school cleanup.
Earth Day: Student Created Slide Deck
We would like to highlight one of our students from Mr. Ballie's class who took the initiative to create a google slide deck focused on the importance of Earth Day. Aeindri, thank you for sharing this important and inspirational message with us all. Our Earth should certainly be celebrated and we should treat our planet with love, respect and kindness. School Sports
The following is a message from our coaches, Ms. Francesca and Mr. Hannah:Both of our Davisville Badminton teams (Grade 5 and 6 teams) played in tournaments this week. All of our players played very well. They showed a huge improvement in their skills, strong sports etiquette, respect for their opponents, and perseverance. We are so proud of all of our Badminton players and every student who came out to our practices on a regular basis.

After-School Procedures
- At dismissal time, we ask for your cooperation and support by ensuring that you pick up your child(ren) as promptly as possible. Our school yard needs to be cleared by 4:00 pm to allow for our after care program to use our yard and access our playscape. Therefore, we kindly ask that families vacate the premises by 4:00pm.
- Please note (as per the image above) that families can regain access to our playground at 6:00pm.
- At the end of the day, it is important that students are picked up by a trusted person; this may be a parent, caregiver, grandparent, daycare provider, babysitter, older sibling, etc… This should be arranged with the teacher, so they know who to be looking for and to release to an authorized person and should be discussed with the student ahead of time, so they can identify the person picking them up.
- Students should be picked up at 3:25pm. If students are not picked up after school at this time, they will be supervised by Door 5 in our vestibule area (inside entrance of school) with a staff member until you arrive. Beyond 3:40pm, students will be taken to the office and asked to wait until an authorized person comes to pick them up. During this time, you may receive a phone call from us to clarify on timing or pickup. *It is very important that parent(s)/caregivers try to pick up their child as close to 3:25pm as possible on a daily basis. We appreciate your support on this.
