Messages from the Principal
Dear Cardinal Families,
We are off to a great start for our second semester! Students are achieving at high rates in the classroom, on the stage, and in athletic competitions. Recently, Davison High School’s administration team held class meetings to discuss various topics with our students. These discussions centered around students continuing to be positive, having a growth mindset, respecting each other, taking care of our school, and achieving at the highest levels in all aspects of life and learning. The school administration discussed the importance of the SAT and the preparation we will be performing with our 9th, 10th and 11th graders in the next few weeks and months. We urged our Seniors to complete local college scholarship applications before the March 2, 2020, deadline and completing a Free Application Federal Student AID (FAFSA) form. Also, we spoke about the importance for Sophomores and Juniors taking college campus tours before they select a college to attend.
Moreover, we introduced a new Peer to Peer mentoring student organization called the Cardinal Ambassadors. These Cardinals will be positive upperclassmen who will mentor new students to the high school next fall. These stellar Cardinal mentors will help new students, mostly Freshmen, transition smoothly socially and academically to DHS by acting as a big brother or big sister to a group of 4 to 5 new students.
Furthermore, we discussed our 123 academic strategic plan for students to maintain and improve their learning. First, students are asked to perform grade checks and goal setting during Team Time on Tuesday morning. Second, students may attend after school peer tutoring in our Media Center on Tuesday and Thursday, and three, students may attend Wednesday morning retake and re-learning sessions with teachers from 8:30 AM to 9:25 AM.
Other important topics we discussed included, our Anti-bullying strategies (STOP, WALK, and, TALK), the problems with vaping and the consequences, mental health first aid resources in the school, scheduling for next years classes, the importance of good attendance, and positive behavior in the school. The students were engaged and receptive to the information. We believe these class meetings are important to maintain a communication link with the student body about relevant topics that impact their learning and future. If you want more information on the topics discussed, please contact us at your earliest convenience.
Go Cards!
