From our Principal's Desk

I am excited to come to school every day and see the creative academic things that are going on in our building. I am learning a lot from the teachers and I am excited about the things that are going on in their rooms. There have been many occasions that I visit a classroom and stay for awhile because of the great things that are going on!

We recently had our hard work rewarded when we were authorized as an official IB PYP school in December 2007. We are going to send home monthly newsletters that will tell you more about the IB/PYP program (for more information click here: IBO.org). We are excited about the implementation of the IB program.

I would like to thank our PTA, parents, and grandparents for their dedication to our school and to the children. It is amazing everything you do for the students and for us. Many of the things we do would not be possible without your support. Thank you for your time, energy, efforts, and dedication!

If you ever have any questions, concerns, or if you would like to know about our program please feel free to contact me. Our school number is 256-552-3025, and my email address is david.kross@dcs.edu. Together we can make Benjamin Davis a great place for kids!

Through empowerment and nurturing, Benjamin Davis Elementary students will become inquirers, life-long learners, develop positive attitudes, and show respect for themselves and others.
