Welcome to Week 28!

Please join me in congratulating our Science Olympiad team and coaches on a fantastic performance at this weekend's competition! Their hard work and dedication throughout the school year paid off, earning them third-place medals in Water Rockets and a fourth-place finish in the Gummi Bear Long Jump.

Additionally, potential ribbons may still be awarded later this week in non-performance events—so stay tuned!

Great job, Tigers! We are incredibly proud of you! 🎉🐯

Have a great week, Davis Tigers! Go to Davis, Go to College!

Our Tiger Tenets :

BE SAFE.

BE RESPECTFUL.

BE RESPONSIBLE.

Lodi Sunrise Rotary Club is partnering with the University of the Pacific again this year, to provide a Free Hearing Screening Event that will be held on Saturday, March 15th at the UOP Chan Health Sciences Learning Center Audiology Department in Stockton.

90% of those in need of help are not even aware of it! They just go through life, increasing the volume of the TV and Radio, unable to learn and live life to their full potential. They become more frustrated as time goes on, disengaging themselves day-to-day all because they are experiencing hearing loss. Potential patients will be screened to determine if they are experiencing hearing loss, they will be checked for ear wax buildup or fluid in the ear, these are common reasons for hearing loss. Since the screening is being held at the UOP Audiology facility potential patients, that are determined to be in critical need, can be expedited upstairs to the Diagnostic Center testing booths that very same day! Once it has been determined that potential patients are experiencing hearing loss, the UOP Audiology Department will be vetting them for needs, ability of financial responsibility for care, and move them through the process of treatment.

The goal is to help as many people as possible. If you have any questions, contact Richard Ross at 209-327-0627 or richardr@alamoalarm.com.

March 3rd through March14th, vegetarian to-go meals will be available for students observing Ramadan.

Every year, California students take several statewide tests. When combined with other measures such as grades, class work, and teacher observations, these tests give families and teachers a more complete picture of their child’s learning. You can use the results to identify where your child is doing well and where they might need more support. Your child may be taking one or more of the following:

• California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP)
• English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC)
• Physical Fitness Test (PFT)

To see the full information on the above assessments, please visit our Assessment, Research, and Evaluation (ARE) Department website. Please select the Annual Notification of Testing, 2024-2025 link.

Chromebooks are essential tools for learning in the classroom, used for various applications and tasks. To ensure students have access to the necessary resources, it is expected that students bring their fully charged Chromebooks to school each day. Please note that there is a limited number of loaner devices available. If your student has lost or damaged their Chromebook, please notify their teacher as soon as possible so that the device can be repaired or replaced.

More information about Chromebooks and the Chromebook Care Plan can be found by clicking here.

Adults interested in volunteering in their student's classroom or chaperoning a field trip will need to complete the Volunteer Request Form and be fingerprinted. Please connect with your student's teacher to determine volunteer opportunities. We are currently seeking volunteers to support in supervision of students during lunch between 10:30 am - 1:00 pm. If you are available, please contact the office or scan the QR code.

Please remember that the front gate does not open until 7:40 am as there is no supervision for students prior to this time. It is important that students come to school dressed appropriately, including wearing school-appropriate shoes. If your student comes to school in Crocs or sandals, they will be asked to sit out PE and may not go in the barkbox or onto the fields during recess due to safety concerns.

Students who wish to eat breakfast in the cafeteria should arrive no later than 7:45 am. For students arriving by bus, please proceed immediately to the cafeteria. The cafeteria will be cleared out 15 minutes after the latest bus arrives to ensure that students do not miss instructional time.

Please remember that if your student has not yet been dismissed and you are in the loading zone, staff will be asking you to park or loop around to allow other parents to load their students who are waiting. We also ask that you model safe behaviors and use the crosswalk. Our Tigers know this is a Tiger Tenet and a way to be safe!

We thank you for your patience and for working with our staff to ensure dismissal occurs smoothly.

If your student will be out, be sure to call the office at 209-953-8301 to report your their absence. Students who have a medical or dental appointment will need to bring a note from their doctor upon their return.

Additionally, it is important your student arrives on time, ready to learn. School starts at 8:00 am and students are expected to be in their classes at this time.
