Students Return to Dayton Avenue School

The doors opened on the 2015-2016 school year.  We were excited to welcome our 3rd grade students and welcome back our boys and girls in grades 4, 5, and 6.  We look forward to integrating technology across our curriculum as we prepare boys and girls for what they need to know and be able to do in order to succeed in the 21st century.  We are also excited to integrate both Service Learning and the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People into our already successful PBIS system.
