Welcome to Dania Elementary School’s website. The Dania staff and I are honored to have the opportunity to work with our students, parents, and community. We continue to provide a world-class education to the students who walk our hallways.New standards, increased rigor, and pending new state assessments have created challenges, but I am confident that our staff, students, and stakeholders can rise to overcome any barriers placed before us. We are a school with a rich history of excellence, and our pledge to each parent and student is that we will continue to strive for excellence. Our mission will continue to be focused on providing an education that involves the “whole” child. We continue to offer Music, Art and Physical Education classes and clubs. Many of the student-centered programs that make Dania such a special place to learn, continue to have positive influences on our students.
