The Mission of Dayton Schools

The Dayton School Community strives to teach the whole student by addressing his/her intellectual, physical, social, and emotional needs. We, the school community, accept this responsibility to provide the opportunity to develop a positive learning environment which encourages each student to attain his/her optimal level of Achievement. Our ultimate mission is to graduate lifelong learners who are responsible, productive community members.

Students from both Lincoln Elementary School and Dayton High School were recognized for their achievements in receiving Student of the Month and Star of the Month. Mr. Duty recognized each student by calling his or her name and gave each a high-five, as they came before the Board of Education, for their accomplishment.  

Mr. Wolf asked that all students that received Student of the Month stand before the Dayton Board of Education so that he may introduce each student by name.  Students were treated to fruit punch and a cupcake and/or cookie as they help celebrate Board Appreciation Month.

Public Notice:

The Dayton Independent Schools participate in the federally funded Title I, Part A program. The Title I program focuses on providing assistance in the academic areas of math, reading, social studies, and science. Both of our schools utilize a school wide Title I program. As such the schools have funding for staff, professional development and parent involvement.

Title I schools are required to conduct an annual survey of parents in order to plan effective Title I programs. Lincoln Elementary and Dayton High School both have policies addressing parent involvement. These policies are reviewed each year by the individual school site base councils. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of our school policies we would like for you to complete this questionnaire. Your feedback will be used to improve parent involvement activities. Suggestions on how we can better help our students at home or at school are welcome.

Please return the printable survey to your child's school office or you may complete the survey online.

January 2012

The 5 board members of the Dayton Board of Education oversee a $6,500,000.00 budget and make decisions about building projects. But they also make certain the individual child in the Dayton Independent District gets what he or she needs to successfully learn in school and beyond. All that is done in the face of shrinking state and federal dollars for education and tough economic times locally.

These responsibilities and others are the reason Kentucky and other states set aside the month of January to thank local school board members during School Board Recognition Month.

Like the students in the Dayton Independent District, the members of its board of education must do their homework. This means sifting through complicated test data and financial reports while keeping abreast of the latest requirements handed down from state and federal governments, to name just a few “subjects.”

Our school board members also serve as the link between the school system and the community. That’s why you’ll often find them at ball games, school celebrations and honors ceremonies.
