DAVIS HILL COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE
December 11, 2017
Dear Davis Hill Community
The time of year is a busy time for many of our families and an exciting (and sometimes stressful) time for our students. Last week at Davis Hill we observed an increase in discipline issues around the building. General silliness, non-responsiveness to adult directions and hands-on incidents with other students seem to be on the rise. On the bus, we are seeing increased reports of unkind language and moving around in seats. In the cafeteria, we are observing an increase in the noise and activity level that is not expected for inside and a lack of responsibility for our own belongings and trash (leaving wrappers and food all over the cafe). If these trends continue into this week, we'll be looking to put more structure and assigned seating on the busses and in the cafeteria. We will continue to respond to individual issues with emails and/ or phone calls home to speak with parents. I have always appreciated the support we have received from our Davis Hill parents when this has been required. Hopefully we will observe an improvement this week. I thank you for your support.
Please see the update information below for this week.
