Did You Know That...
- Students have the opportunity to write compliment cards to one another. They are posted outside of the lunchroom doors and some are read over the intercom during announcements.
- Every student is divided into one of our four houses: imagination, integrity, valor, perseverance
- Our 6th graders are starting a Learning to BREATHE course through Davis Behavioral Health. This is a well-researched, mindfulness-based curriculum that provides our students and school community with tools to develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, compassion, adaptability, and resilience.

Mental Health Series - Your Child's Anxiety
Dear Parents,
We are excited to invite you to our September Parent Series called "Your Child’s Anxiety". You will learn simple strategies that will help respond to your child’s anxiety. When applied, these skills will help you and your child bond, allowing your student to identify and work through their anxiety more effectively.
This event will be held on September 13th from 6:30-7:30 PM virtually. We hope you will join us for this informative and helpful event! Please register for the event at http://cookcenter.info/Sep13Davis or for the Spanish version register at http://cookcenter.info/Sep13spDavis. By registering, you will be emailed the video link if you are unable to attend.
We look forward to seeing you there!
