Jill Shepperd

I'm so happy to welcome you to the Davis Elementary web site and our Dolphin pride. Davis is a very unique Plano school embracing our neighborhood students, students from all over Collin county with hearing impairments in the Plano Regional Day School for the Deaf, and a bilingual program serving students from our own community and other surrounding Central Cluster schools.

Our exceptional staff believes and practices the Davis mission and motto every day with every child. We CAN- Challenge, Achieve and Nurture growth! We believe each child can achieve success if we build on what a child knows and can already do. We believe we can make a difference in building student confidence by challenging each child to stretch to reach his potential and providing a nurturing, positive environment to grow.

There's a spirit at Davis that is hard to put into words - but our parents, staff and students know it's real. I think it has to do with a genuine caring and embracing of children just as they are — and a friendly, informality that invites everyone to be a part of our inclusive school community. Welcome to our Davis family! We anticipate an awesome, productive year ahead!
