Davis Families,

For the first time, Davis students will be able to attend summer school this year. This version of summer school is much different (and better) than typical summer school. In addition to traditional credit recovery type options for students who need to make up failed classes, there will be enrichment and engagement activities such as art, athletics, engineering, etc., family oriented sessions for parents on topics such as financial literacy, computer literacy, and health/well being, and sports camps. Programs will occur at the Davis A&M campus building and at other schools around Cleveland. Please click here for information from CMSD and be on the lookout for followup communication from the school in the upcoming weeks.

If you have questions about any of the announcements below, please call the school at 216.838.2500

Davis students are invited to sign up for a Rocket Science Crash Course, a program where students will learn about rocketry, the physics of flight, and aerospace careers through exciting hands-on activities. Students will build model rockets, learn safe rocket launch procedures, and collect and analyze data from onboard sensor systems.
