Vision
Our vision for Donges Bay is for all students to become literate, responsible citizens, effective participants in our community, and able to adapt to the rapidly changing world through the acquisition of skills and knowledge.
Meet the Principal
As parents and educators, we know there is no work more important than preparing our children to take on the world.
Everything we do at Donges Bay is student-centered and based on what your child needs at that point in time. Our curriculum supports this philosophy and allows for teachers to be rigorous, yet responsive to each individual child. We also have a variety of specialists available within our building to support teachers and students, including math, literacy, research and digital learning, gifted and talented, and English language learner specialists. Additionally, our building is supported by a full time social-emotional coach to support all students in our building in strengthening their social emotional well-being.
Donges Bay is incredibly fortunate to have a very strong community! Our staff is top notch and truly understands the needs of our students and families. They maintain open and frequent communication with parents and parents are encouraged to reach out to any member of our team with questions or concerns. Donges Bay embraces parents as important members of their child’s educational team. We know that when we work together children are more successful!
Our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a committed group dedicated to supporting Donges Bay in every way. The PTO helps to welcome new families, run events throughout the year, raise funds for our school and coordinate a multitude of opportunities to get involved, regardless of your schedule.
Each student has his or her own constellation of talents, interests and strengths and our passionate group of educators is here to support and encourage your child on their path to success.
Sincerely,
Christopher Gray
