There has been a lot of congestion in the morning around the car drop off area. We want all of our students safe as they exit cars and come into the building. Please follow these guidelines when arriving to Davis.

• There is no parking in the drop off area. Please have your student packed and ready to exit.
• There are staff members at the drop off lane to make sure your student exits the car safely.
• Do not park across the street from the drop off lane and escort your student between cars. There is a lot of traffic, buses, and moving cars that make this very dangerous. Use the drop off lane or park on Horne and escort your student from there.
• If you are parked on 7th street before the drop off lane have your student exit curbside only. We have too many families exiting cars street side to avoid snow and walking into traffic.

Thank you for your continued support and keeping our students safe!

We are excited to offer a virtual book fair this year at Davis! We are hoping to get some nice new books in student hands before spring break. All book orders placed by March 12th will be delivered to Davis on March 17 or 18. Distribution to students will take place March 24 & 25 to take home (after a brief quarantine). Virtual families can pick up their books at their child’s home school on March 24th between 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.

For families that have siblings at Richmond, please place separate orders so that your child can receive their books at their school.
