Principal's Message

Sign Up for Family FAB LAB Saturdays
Fab Lab Saturdays are a monthly opportunity to allow the opportunity to learn and use a specific machine in the Davis Fab Lab, such as the laser cutter, vinyl cutter, the heat press, and other hand tools. This is the same machinery your student(s) use in their Davis thematic courses.
Each month will focus on learning one machine, and families will take home a product they created that day! THIS SATURDAY you will learn about and use the Roland Vinyl Cutter.
The first FAB LAB Saturday is THIS SATURDAY, Nov 12th from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM in the DAVIS AM Fab Lab. To attend you must click here to sign up!

Social & Emotional Learning
Greetings,
One of the components of educating students in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District is providing a safe learning environment for them. Here at Davis Aerospace and Maritime High School there is a conflict resolution program. Students were trained as peer mediators thru the Winning Against Violent Environments (W.A.V.E.) Program to assist in resolving conflicts and/or issues amongst their schoolmates.
We understand that conflicts are normal, we all have them. It’s how we deal with our conflicts that’s important. Mediation plays an important role in our Social Emotional Learning (SEL) services, as indicated in the CMSD Student Handbook.
As the coordinator for the SEL program here at Davis, I want to make sure you are aware and know how to access this service should the need arise. Parents/Guardians/Caregivers, students, faculty and staff can refer individuals for mediation. Referral forms are available at the school or you can contact me and I’ll create one.
We look forward to promoting a safe and healthy environment for our scholars to thrive in. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Respectfully,
Leslie A Scruggs, S.E.L. Coordinator
College Now
If you have any questions on applying for college, scholarships, and other questions on your student's post-secondary education. Please don't hesitate to reach out or schedule an appointment. I look forward to continuing to work with all of you throughout the school year.
