Welcome to Week 25!

Welcome to Kindness Week! As part of our district's efforts to foster kindness, we're challenging our Tigers to come together with students at all schools and complete 100,000 acts of kindness! Flyers with more information are being sent home with your student, and we encourage you to make this a family goal. We are also promoting Kindness Week with daily themes and spirit wear:

• Monday, 2/10: Be Kind to Your Family / Wear Disney Clothes
• Tuesday, 2/11: Be Kind to Your Friends / Wear Bows, Ties, or Bowties!
• Wednesday, 2/12: Be Kind to Our Heroes / Dress as a Superhero
• Thursday, 2/13: Be Kind to Your Environment / Dress in Tie-dye
• Friday, 2/14: Be Kind to Your School / Dress like Your Teacher or in School Colors

In addition to spreading kindness, we are also hosting a gift card drive to support families impacted by the Southern California wildfires. You can drop off gift cards (with the denomination clearly labeled) at the school office or have your student turn them in to their teacher.

Thank you for helping us spread kindness in our community!

Have a great week, Davis Tigers! Go to Davis, Go to College!

Our Tiger Tenets :

BE SAFE.

BE RESPECTFUL.

BE RESPONSIBLE.

We are excited to announce that the NorCal Science & Technology Festival will again be hosted at Lodi High School on February 22nd, 10am to 3:00pm.

This event is student organized. Please encourage your students and their families to attend!

New this year is our first-ever art competition, "Junkyard Masterpieces", sponsored by Cal-Waste. Students Pre-K through 12 are invited to create collages and/or sculptures from recycled and reused materials that will be showcased at the festival.

Every year, California students take several statewide tests. When combined with other measures such as grades, class work, and teacher observations, these tests give families and teachers a more complete picture of their child’s learning. You can use the results to identify where your child is doing well and where they might need more support. Your child may be taking one or more of the following:

• California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP)
• English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC)
• Physical Fitness Test (PFT)

To see the full information on the above assessments, please visit our Assessment, Research, and Evaluation (ARE) Department website. Please select the Annual Notification of Testing, 2024-2025 link.

We are excited to inform you that your children have recently completed reading and math diagnostics through i-Ready, an adaptive assessment program by Curriculum Associates. These diagnostics are designed to identify your child's strengths and areas for growth in these crucial subjects. We believe that this valuable data will help us tailor our instructional approach to better support your child's academic journey.

To review your child's data and gain insights into their performance, we invite you to access the flyer provided at the following link:

This flyer will provide you with detailed instructions on how to navigate and interpret the i-Ready diagnostic results. Your active involvement in this process is greatly appreciated and will contribute to your child's educational success.

Chromebooks are essential tools for learning in the classroom, used for various applications and tasks. To ensure students have access to the necessary resources, it is expected that students bring their fully charged Chromebooks to school each day. Please note that there is a limited number of loaner devices available. If your student has lost or damaged their Chromebook, please notify their teacher as soon as possible so that the device can be repaired or replaced.

More information about Chromebooks and the Chromebook Care Plan can be found by clicking here.

Adults interested in volunteering in their student's classroom or chaperoning a field trip will need to complete the Volunteer Request Form and be fingerprinted. Please connect with your student's teacher to determine volunteer opportunities. We are currently seeking volunteers to support in supervision of students during lunch between 10:30 am - 1:00 pm. If you are available, please contact the office or scan the QR code.

Please remember that the front gate does not open until 7:40 am as there is no supervision for students prior to this time. It is important that students come to school dressed appropriately, including wearing school-appropriate shoes. If your student comes to school in Crocs or sandals, they will be asked to sit out PE and may not go in the barkbox or onto the fields during recess due to safety concerns.

Students who wish to eat breakfast in the cafeteria should arrive no later than 7:45 am. For students arriving by bus, please proceed immediately to the cafeteria. The cafeteria will be cleared out 15 minutes after the latest bus arrives to ensure that students do not miss instructional time.

Please remember that if your student has not yet been dismissed and you are in the loading zone, staff will be asking you to park or loop around to allow other parents to load their students who are waiting. We also ask that you model safe behaviors and use the crosswalk. Our Tigers know this is a Tiger Tenet and a way to be safe!

We thank you for your patience and for working with our staff to ensure dismissal occurs smoothly.

If your student will be out, be sure to call the office at 209-953-8301 to report your their absence. Students who have a medical or dental appointment will need to bring a note from their doctor upon their return.

Additionally, it is important your student arrives on time, ready to learn. School starts at 8:00 am and students are expected to be in their classes at this time.
