Davis Richmond E-news

We would like to thank all of the parents and students who spent time showing their appreciation for our Davis Richmond staff. There were flowers, cards, decorations, and so much food! Your kindness and generosity were very much appreciated.

The end of year i-Ready diagnostic assessment is scheduled for students to take between April 29th and May 15th for elementary and middle school students. This end of year check is one measure of how students made progress towards their end of year growth goal. Your child’s teacher will provide you with more specific days as to when your child will take their assessments.

Thank you for your continued support and for being a partner in your child’s learning. Your child’s report will be available online in your child’s i-Ready account. For more information about what to expect as a parent/guardian or how to access your student’s online diagnostic results please click HERE.

Dear Parents,

It’s hard to believe there are only a few weeks of school left. This is a reminder that you will need to come to school to pick up your child's medication by the last day of school which is Thursday, May 30th.

1. Medications that are not picked up at the end of the year will be disposed of according to the D303 policy.
2. This policy also does not allow medication to remain in the health office over the summer for reuse in the fall.
3. Medication must be picked up by a parent or adult designee with the parent’s permission.
4. If a Medication Self Carry/Administration form was completed, meds will be sent home with your child in their backpacks. That is only for inhalers, Epi pens and topical creams. Any pills or liquids still need to be picked up by a parent.

Looking ahead to the 2024-2025 school year, if your child requires medication or any action plans, your child will need new physician orders and action plans for the school year. Ideally have the physician date the forms following the last day of school. Forms can be found under health services on the D303 site or linked directly here:

MEDICATION AUTHORIZATION

ASTHMA

LIFE THREATENING ALLERGIES

DIABETES

All forms will need to be completed in full before any medications can be administered.

Kindergarten and 2nd grade students require a dental examination and form completed within 18 months prior to May 15th, 2025. A vision examination and completed State form is also required for incoming kindergarten students as well as a physical examination and a record of all immunizations.

DENTAL FORM

VISION FORM

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION

These forms can be submitted to the main office or emailed to the school nurse. Please reach out if you have any questions.

Thank you!

We are so proud of Jamie Snyder for her well deserved recognition for ROE’s Educator Service Personnel of the Year Award! It was a very inspiring evening celebrating this wonderful profession and the people who touch so many students’ lives. Way to go!

Our second graders have been busy learning about life cycles. In second grade the painted lady butterflies came out of their chrysalis’ this week and were set free in the Davis garden.

Thank you to the cub scouts, student council, and Wasco Nursery for your help planting our Davis Garden last Saturday! We can’t wait to see what blooms.

Davis Students have been participating in a school challenge this week to see which classrooms have the BEST hallway behavior. We have been practicing being respectful, responsible and safe as we walk to PE, lunch, or a special class. These classrooms earned the most PAWS for good behavior this week and will celebrate with a reward time!! Congratulations to: KMP, KCL, 1DG, 1LH, 2YM & 2MS.

Students from Ms. Lyman's 4th Grade Class enjoyed some class time on the new Richmond Lego wall on Friday to celebrate earning their 12th Tiger Head of the year.

All 5th grade families, students and teachers are invited to a PTO sponsored breakfast on Friday, May 24th from 7:30-8:15 a.m. Breakfast will be served outside in the back of the building outside of the community room on the blacktop. We encourage as many families as possible to either carpool or if possible walk. Parking will be available at Redeemer Fellowship Church on the corner of Oak and 12th. They are gracious enough to let us use both the street and lot for parents to park during breakfast. We ask that you try your best to save spots on 12th street for our staff. The PTO will provide donuts, coffee and juice. See flyer below for details.

It is hard to believe that in a few short days our 5th graders will be incoming 6th graders. We are so proud of all of the hard work they have put in this school year and are working on ways for us to celebrate their elementary years. We would love to extend an invitation to all of our fifth grade parents/families to our 5th grade clap out. This event will take place outdoors at Richmond school. Details below:

When: Thursday, May 30, 2024

Time: Starts promptly at 2:45 p.m.

Parents: Clap-out formation:

You may line up on the grass area indicated in blue in the chart below. 5th graders will start by coming out door #11 (closer to Oak and 12th street) and walk down 12th. They will walk up Indiana (greeted by 4th graders) and then enter door #2 where they will be greeted by our third graders inside. They will then go back to their classrooms until dismissal.

Reminders:

1. We ask that you not hand your child gifts/balloons during the clap out. Please wait until after school for those items.
2. No pets/animals are allowed on school grounds during the clapout, before or after.
3. If you plan on a change in transportation for the day, please notify the main office with advance notice, preferably before the last day of school.
4. A lawn sign will be provided (Thank you PTO) in front of the school facing 12th street. Families are welcome to take pictures after school.
5. If your child will be taking the bus home, balloons are not allowed on our buses as they impair vision of the driver.
6. 5th grade classrooms will take class pictures during the day and those will be communicated via your child’s teacher.

We are looking forward to celebrating!
