STEP 2: You should receive an email confirmation with your application attached. If you do not receive email confirmation please contact Joey Davis at davisjo@davie.k12.nc.us as soon as possible. The last section of the google form will prompt you to provide the names of three teachers who will provide feedback as part of your application. This needs to be two core teachers (math, ELA, science, social studies) and one core/encore teacher. The purpose of this feedback form is to get first-hand information from teachers about your personal character, work ethic and academic ability in the classroom. This information will be used to help the committee make an informed decision on placement.
