Organization Description

We want all DJUSD students to be successful and will continue to use assessment data to identify those in need of intervention and provide the services they require.  We will focus on fostering caring relationships amongst staff, students and their families, and better aligning curricula and assessment will help us to do this.  Despite economic uncertainty, positive attitudes, beliefs, and a relentless passion to help students be successful will carry the day for the school district and the community. 

To be successful in a global society after high school, all children need extensive knowledge and skills in core areas of literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, foreign language and career technology.  Students must also be exposed to a myriad of opportunities that explore the arts, health and wellness, athletics, extra-curricular activities, and community service projects.  These are the components of an excellent education and develop life-long thinkers and productive citizens for our future.

Program Information

Robert E. Willett Elementary was named after a long-time teacher at the school. Previously, Willett was known as West Davis Intermediate, opened in 1967 and served grades 4-6. It is now a full K-6 school. Its sister school was West Davis Elementary (WDE), a K-3 program located on Anderson Road. That school is now Cesar Chavez Elementary. 

Bob Willett was a much loved 6th grade teacher at the school. He was well known for his love of the outdoors and took his class to the mountains each year. There the students would stay in dorms and spend several days learning about nature. Mr. Willett's class also put on a musical every year. Our sixth graders now spend a week at Sly Park. He would get students to pay attention by hitting the table with a yardstick, breaking several over the years. One year for Christmas, a class got him a new yardstick as a gift, signed by all students in the class.
