Welcome Back William G. Davis Families!
We hope that you and your families enjoyed an amazing summer and are ready for an incredible school year!
For our new Razorbacks, you are joining a very welcoming and spirited school community! This is something that I too have felt during our recent PD Days as I have had the chance to get to know our staff and hear about some of the amazing experiences that will be offered to students throughout the year. There is something very special about the culture in this building, and I know that you will feel it too as you walk through the doors and settle into the year ahead.
I am thrilled to be joining the WG Davis school community! As someone who grew up in Cambridge, attended school in WRDSB and is still connected to the area (which I am sure students will learn more about as we get to know each other), this feels like a very special opportunity. As an administrator, I feel very fortunate to have served in several diverse school communities in Peel Region, Milton, Kitchener and here “at home” in Cambridge. I am excited about the learning and connections that will be made here at Davis and with each of you.
Things that you can expect from me, our leadership team and staff:
- An approach rooted in dialogue and teamwork
- Prioritizing connections and working with community members
- Being a champion for all students: ensuring that our school is a place where all students feel safe, belong, and are successful
Our staff truly is incredible. Students and families will feel their genuine care and the deep passion they embody through their everyday interactions and ongoing support. The bar will be set high for all learners, and we believe that all students can be successful at WG Davis.
Core Principles:
Dignity, respect and mutual concern- principles to live by (WRDSB Community Standards of Behaviour) and a non-negotiable at WG Davis for the entire Razorback Nation. Showing kindness, being respectful and “being a champion for yourself, each other and the world” will ensure that our school community is safe, accepting, and conducive to learning and achievement.
Students, we challenge you to get involved, try something new, introduce yourself, share a smile and a hello. We can appreciate the range of emotions that you may be feeling as you anticipate the transition back to school (and for some a new school). We are here to support you and know that you will be amazing. We got this! This is a fresh start: show up with a positive and hopeful attitude and great things are sure to happen.
We wish all students, staff and families an amazing start to the 2026-2027 school year!
Sincerely,
Jeff Johnson
Principal
