 Mono Cliffs Excursion

Our Grade 6 students went on a two night excursion to Mono Cliffs, which provided them with a dynamic and memorable learning experience. Students were immersed in active learning experiences in the natural environment and were able to experience outdoor adventure while learning about curriculum based topics. They also developed an appreciation for the importance of showing responsibility and respect for self, others and for the natural environment. 

What a great opportunity for our students to be able to experience an overnight trip in their elementary school years. Our Grade 6 students created lasting memories with their peers as they prepare to finish off their final year at Davisville.

Promoting Respect in Our School Building

Each and every day, TDSB staff in schools and buildings interact with students, parents, guardians, caregivers, and other members of the community. As a school and school board, it is our expectation that staff be treated with kindness, dignity and respect during all interactions, whether in-person or via phone and email. Harassment or disrespectful behaviour of any kind will not be tolerated.

Please remember that respectful behaviour must be maintained during all interactions. We ALL have an important role to play in creating and maintaining respectful working and learning spaces. 

School Mural 

Our school mural is well underway. Our Gr. 2-6 students have been working hard at completing our mural and we cannot wait to see the final product! Thank you to our School Council for having funded this project. The theme of the mural is Everyone is Welcome at Davisville, which is the essence of our overall school vision and the culture that we are aiming to create here in our school. For this mural, students have been asked to reflect on what it is they need to feel welcome and included and actions they can take to ensure we are creating an inclusive environment for all.

Need for Aquatic Instructors Source: Shelley Laskin's Weekly Updates In order to operate swim programs in our schools with pools, we need two on-site aquatic instructors. Sadly, the TDSB has had a shortage of aquatic instructors since schools reopened from COVID. If you know of any aquatic instructors, please, have them complete the application - the board has been advertising and I have been advertising on Twitter since the end of last year. Here’s the link directly to the posting for applicants to apply. https://tdsb.sabacloud.com/Saba/Web_spf/CA1PRD0033/jobs-Support/career/jobdetail/jobrq000000000002580. Thanks!
