Davis Elementary

On Tuesday September 3rd, Davis Primary will conduct our state-required annual Lockdown Drill with law enforcement personnel present. During this time, students will review and practice the classroom procedures. Parents/guardians may opt their child out of physical participation in this drill each year by emailing Gina Shaw at gina.shaw@d303.org and Mona Carlson at mona.carlson@d303.org at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled date. Students who are opted out will receive an alternative school safety learning experience with a certified staff member.

Students will take their fall i-Ready test starting next week, August 19th for 1st - 5th grades. Make-ups will start the week of August 26th. Teachers will use this information to help plan for interventions this fall. The diagnostic assessment sets the personalized online instruction for each student to start the year and readjust during the year. Teachers monitor student pathways with check-ins and ability to make adjustments. Please click HERE for more details.
