If you want to conquer the world, you best have dragons.
At Davies Middle School, we believe in the empowering spirit of our motto: "If you want to conquer the world, you best have dragons."
This reflects our commitment to equipping our students with the strength, courage, and determination necessary to face life's challenges and emerge victorious. The strong sense of camaraderie and belonging we experience here makes the learning journey even more enriching and enjoyable. We have a supportive network of teachers, staff, and fellow students cheering our dragons on every step of the way. Together, we conquer challenges and celebrate victories, ensuring that our dragons are well-prepared to indeed conquer the world.
Physical Examination for Sports **CHANGE**
There has been a change in the requirements for submission of the updated PPE. The History Form and the Physical Examination Form within the packet do not need to be submitted to the student’s school. The History Form and the Physical Examination Form should be kept by the healthcare provider who completes the PPE. Only the completed Medical Eligibility Form should be submitted to the school. The Medical Eligibility Form provides space for the healthcare provider to share relevant health information with the school if necessary and includes a recommendation regarding the student’s ability to participate in athletics. It is important to note that the PPE must be conducted by a licensed physician, advanced practice nurse, or physician assistant who has completed the student-athlete cardiac assessment professional development module developed by the NJDOE.

As we get closer to school, I wanted to share our theme for the year: "If you want to conquer the world, you best have dragons."
This quote highlights the importance of having strength, courage, and a supportive community. Our Dragons symbolize the power within each of us and the collective strength we share as a school. Embrace your inner Dragon, face challenges head-on, and remember that you are never alone in your journey. Together, we can conquer any obstacle and achieve great things.
Enjoy the rest of your summer break, and I look forward to seeing each of you on the first day of school!
As always, "Go Dragons!"
Dr. Jennifer Holmstrom
