Dear Melva Davis Families and Community Members,
Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I extend a heartfelt greeting to all our returning families and a warm welcome to those who are new to our school community. Whether this is your first year with us or your child is entering their final year of middle school, we are honoured to partner with you during this important chapter in your child’s educational journey.
At Melva Davis Academy of Excellence, we believe middle school is a pivotal time of exploration, growth, and discovery. Our mission is to empower every student to reach their full potential academically, socially, and emotionally. Through rigorous and engaging instruction, a nurturing school culture, and a focus on the whole child, we strive to create a learning environment where students are not only challenged but also supported every step of the way.
This school year, we are excited to build upon our foundation of excellence with a renewed focus on:
- Academic Innovation: Our teachers are committed to providing high-quality, standards-based instruction while integrating technology, project-based learning, and real-world applications that make learning meaningful and relevant.
- Social-Emotional Learning (SEL): We understand that students thrive when they feel safe, supported, and connected. Through our advisory programs, school counseling services, and character education initiatives, we aim to foster resilience, empathy, and strong interpersonal skills.
- Equity and Inclusion: We are dedicated to celebrating the diverse backgrounds, experiences, and voices that make up our school community. This year, we will continue to provide opportunities for students and families to engage in conversations and activities that promote understanding, respect, and equity for all.
- Family and Community Partnerships: We believe education is most effective when schools and families work together. Throughout the year, we will offer a variety of ways for you to get involved—from volunteering and parent advisory groups to family nights and community events. Your voice and partnership are invaluable to our success.
As always, communication is key. We encourage you to stay connected by subscribing to our monthly newsletters, visiting our website, and following us on social media. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teachers, our front office team, or myself with any questions, ideas, or concerns.
Thank you for your continued support and trust in [School Name] Middle School. Together, we will create a school year filled with purpose, progress, and pride. Let’s make 2025–2026 our best year yet!
With warm regards,
Kathy Youskievicz
