Principal Message
Hello Davis Drive Elementary Families!
This past week, Rozanne Todd our Assistant Principal has been named as the next Principal of White Oak Elementary. Her last day at DDE will be December 20th. We will miss her at DDE for sure, but wish her the best as she starts a new journey in her career.
With the cold winter weather upon us, please know that the number of cars arriving in carpool increases. Plan to leave earlier on cold or rainy days and be sure to have your child ready to quickly exit your car with pulling up as far as you can in the unloading zone. Thank you to all who are delivering your child so efficiently and on time!
It has come to my attention (from a student) that some families are dropping off students on Collins Road. Please join the carpool line for the safety of our students. If you would like to get here when there is no one in line, arrive at 7:20 as we have staff ready to welcome your children.
Last chance to order your child a yearbook at a reduced cost- see details below.
Look below for details about the Penguin Patch Holiday Shoppe where students can shop for family gifts at reasonable prices in the morning in the front lobby.
