DavenportElementary SchoolSchool Board Report, June 2019

End of the Year Fun!The school year came to a close on Thursday, June 13, 2019. There were many smiles, some tears,excitement, and at the end of the day students left and we all hope they will have a wonderful, safesummer! The end of the year is alway bittersweet with student work coming off of walls, the hallsquiet, and nothing left but grants/reports to do! Overall, 2019-20 was a PHENOMENAL year atDavenport Elementary School. This year we focused on improving attendance (we did a bit, but foundwe may need some help with this), decreased o�ce discipline referrals (we de�nitely did this!), and asalways, worked to improve our instruction and test scores. We also had a lot of fun together, and grewas a Gorilla Family. Some highlights from the end of the year included �eld trips to Mobius, Grand Coulee Dam, Sorensen'sFarm, lunches in the park, Field Day, Pre-K celebration, Kindergarten graduation, Gorilla Pride Leaderslime party, Grad Walk, etc. Students learned and had a lot of fun! As we look for the next year, we will re�ne our practice, continue to increase rigor, continue to buildpositive relationships with our students and their families, and work on continuing to provide a qualityeducation for all. Thank you for letting me have the opportunity to continue to serve the students and staff ofDavenport! If you ever have any questions or concerns, please contact me! Sincerely,Courtney Strozyk, Principal
