Monday Ducks Update

Happy Tuesday!

As we approach the spring break, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for all your support throughout this past year. Your dedication and involvement have played an instrumental role in making this year a success for our students.

May this spring break be a time of relaxation, rejuvenation, and joyful moments spent together. Take this opportunity to create cherished memories with your Ducks and enjoy every moment of this special time. Thank you once again for everything you do. Look forward to welcoming you back on April 15th and working together to create a great end to the school year!

Go Ducks!

Spring Pictures:
Spring pictures are scheduled for this Thursday, April 4th. As in years past, there will be no Spring Makeup day, that only happens for fall so we can include everyone in the yearbook. As the 6th graders will be away at camp, Sumner Photography offers an alternative offer. The photographer's studio will be open to the public on May 16th from 1:00 pm to 4:45 pm, providing an excellent opportunity for you to capture beautiful moments with your children in a professional setting. This is a unique chance to create lasting memories that you can cherish for years to come.

Whether you missed out on spring pictures or simply want to update your family photo album, we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity.

TALENT SHOW

Get ready to unleash your child’s talent! Davis Magnet School’s Talent Show will be showcasing our students' creative abilities on April 30th (Kinder-3rd) & May 1st (4th-6th). This is an excellent opportunity for your child to shine and share their creative abilities with the Davis community. Whether they have a special talent they'd like to showcase solo or as part of a group, or if they prefer to assist behind the scenes as a crew member, we encourage all students to participate. Please sign up your child by April 16th. All act’s will need to be approved by a parent panel prior to the talent show. If you have any questions or need assistance with the sign-up process, please don't hesitate to contact us at davistalentshow@gmail.com. We're here to support you and your child every step of the way.
