Happy Principals' Day!
Celebrating Our Phenomenal Principals!
It brings me immense joy to share how incredibly fortunate Dayton City School is to have not just one, but two outstanding leaders at the helm of our educational journey.
On this special occasion of Principals' Day, I am thrilled to extend heartfelt congratulations and appreciation to both our Principal of Operations, Mr. Cameron Burton and our Principal of Curriculum and Instruction, Mrs. Brittany Mairena. Their dedication, passion, and unwavering commitment to the growth and success of our students are truly remarkable.
Our Mr. Burton, our Principal of Operations ensures that the daily functions of our school run seamlessly, creating a safe, nurturing environment where students can thrive. Meanwhile, Mrs. Mairena, our Principal of Curriculum and Instruction continuously fosters innovative teaching methods and academic excellence, inspiring both students and staff alike.
Together, they form an exceptional team, guiding our school with wisdom, compassion, and vision. Today, we honor their tireless efforts and celebrate the profound impact they have on shaping the futures of our children.
Please join me in expressing our deepest gratitude and wishing our two phenomenal leaders a Happy Principals' Day!

Testing was a HUGE success!
Successful Conclusion of TCAP Testing & Upcoming Benchmark Testing
TCAP testing has concluded, and it was a resounding success! Your support and involvement were instrumental in creating the optimal testing environment, and for that, I extend my heartfelt gratitude.
As we move forward, I want to inform you that benchmark testing will be conducted over the next couple of weeks as part of our normal process. This benchmark assessment provides valuable insights into your child's academic progress and helps us tailor instruction to meet their individual needs effectively.
Your continued support in ensuring your child's punctuality and readiness for these assessments is immensely appreciated. Together, we can work towards fostering an environment conducive to academic growth and success.
Thank you once again for your cooperation and dedication to your child's education. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding the upcoming benchmark testing or anything else, please do not hesitate to reach out.
