Principal’s Message: Dayton Avenue School

Welcome Dayton Avenue School Families & Friends

It is a true privilege to serve as your principal and to lead such a dedicated group of educators, enthusiastic students, and supportive families. At Dayton Avenue School, we are deeply committed to fostering a nurturing yet appropriately challenging environment where every individual has the opportunity to grow and thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Dayton Avenue truly is a wonderful place for learning and personal development, it is a place where we Dream, Believe, Lead, Achieve.

Our primary focus is to engage students in meaningful learning experiences that not only drive academic achievement but also cultivate critical, future-focused thinking, creativity, reflection, and effective communication. As a proud "Leader in Me" school, we actively instill the habits of highly effective people into our daily routines, providing valuable leadership opportunities for all students. I eagerly anticipate witnessing their growth and celebrating their diverse achievements throughout their educational journey.

To keep our community engaged and well-informed, we utilize ParentSquare as our primary communication platform. If you have not yet registered for an account, I strongly encourage you to do so to ensure you receive timely updates. Additionally, our school website serves as an essential hub for resources, featuring our virtual backpack for family letters and flyers, as well as our monthly newsletters. I invite you to check back regularly and to connect with me on Instagram @principal_das as we work together to maintain strong community ties.

I look forward to sharing a deeply rewarding and successful school year with all of you.

Sincerely,

Dr. Shelita Watkis

Principal, Dayton Avenue School
