Home School Compact (English and Spanish)
As we strive for academic excellence and a high level of literacy for all of our students we realize that an educational institution cannot accomplish this goal alone.
When a partnership exists between school, family and student and the goals and responsibilities for each party are clear, student achievement will improve. The following is a compact, which is a voluntary agreement between Davies’ administration and staff and our families and students with the sole purpose of helping all of our students to reach their full academic potential.Watch the videos explaining each groups responsibilities in the Home School Compact here on YouTube.

Davies is pleased to once again offer our MegaSkills Workshop Program! This free, 6-week course is designed for families to help develop the life skills needed for success in school and beyond.
What are MegaSkills?
Confidence, perseverance, teamwork, motivation, caring, effort, focus, responsibility, common sense, initiative, and problem-solving. We call these eleven areas MegaSkills. Through our free program at Davies, parents can help their child:
- Do better at school.
- Strengthen family bonds.
- Get along better with others by equipping them with these essential life skills.
The MegaSkills program is intended with Davies parents in mind, but this is not the only audience! Bring your child, friend, relatives, or anyone else who has a connection with your student. We have parents who decide to attend solo and parents who decide to have their student attend with them. The choice is yours!
When you take our free MegaSkills program, you can expect:
- Weekly activities and learning strategies to use at home
- To learn confidence, focus, motivation, and more MegaSkills in a relaxed, supportive environment
- To receive a “Completion of Program” certificate
- Refreshments served at each session
- A chance to win a weekly door prize
