Davis Elementary Update

I hope that everyone is enjoying their summer. As we get closer to the beginning of the school year I wanted to take the time to send out a few reminders in preparation for 24-25 school year. We have been very busy at Davis. Our custodians, and maintenance staff have been painting, cleaning, moving, and making our building into a beautiful space once again. Our teachers have been planning units, meeting with their teams, and getting their classrooms ready. While we're excited to welcome you back soon, we encourage you to make the most of these final days of summer break. Savor those precious family moments, finish up any summer projects, and take time to recharge for the exciting year ahead. We look forward to seeing all of you and hearing about your summer adventures!

Warm Regards,

Gina Shaw

Principal

As you may recall from my communication in May, we were exploring various options for utilizing our classroom spaces, including the mobile unit. Initially, we considered housing our fourth-grade classrooms in the mobile. However, I'm delighted to share some good news with you all. Now that we've completed the intra-district transfer process, I'm pleased to announce that all classroom spaces, including fourth grade, will be located within the main Davis building. We'll be putting the mobile unit to excellent use for our STEM, Music, Art, and AT Math classes, enhancing our specialized learning environments. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your invaluable feedback and remarkable patience throughout this process. Your understanding and support have been instrumental in helping us make the best decisions for our school community. Together, we've created a solution that will benefit all our students and staff.

Students are extended the privilege of possessing phones/smartwatches on school grounds; however, their use is limited to after-school dismissal and non-school days. These devices must be in the off position on school grounds, including bus transportation.

Home Access Center (HAC) is District 303's tool for efficient and timely communication with parents about their children. The Home Access Center (HAC) offers parents the ability to view a daily summary, attendance information, student schedule, and more all in a password protected environment. Alerts and emergency communications are sent to the contact information provided in HAC through our ParentLink system. HAC opens on August 7th. At that time you will see which class your child is in.
