Hello Davis families!

It was wonderful to see everyone at Back to School Night! We had an amazing turn out which will result in an exciting year of learning together. If you were unable to attend or have further questions, please reach out to your student's teacher to get copies of the important information that was shared during that time. Knowing the classroom expectations and homework policies will make supporting your student so much easier! Now is the time to start great homework routines. Does your student have designated homework space and time? Providing a consistent homework routine builds strong study skills and can prevent future disagreements about completing homework.

We will continue to monitor our water quality and will notify you of any changes. Water bottles are provided to all students in their classrooms. Hand sanitizer is being used mulitple times per day in every classroom and before lunch. Students are welcome to bring their own water bottles to school daily. Our cafeteria is taking every precaution and continues to provide healthy breakfasts and lunches to all students.

Our Tiger Tenets :

BE SAFE.

BE RESPECTFUL.

BE RESPONSIBLE.

We are excited to announce that this year, families will be able to verify their child's elementary school teacher and secondary school class schedule through our online data confirmation process. Starting on July 19, 2024, at 10:00 AM, parents who have completed the online data confirmation will be able to access this information. We encourage all parents to complete the online data confirmation process by following the instructions in the flyer below.

You can now go online to fill out your Data Confirmation! Click here or on the flyer below to get started.

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.

District-issued Chromebooks are provided to your student to support in their learning. Please remind your students to charge their Chromebooks overnight, ensuring they are ready for the next day's learning activities. The Chromebook Care Plan is offered as an optional coverage plan to help families with repair costs of district-issued Chromebooks. More information can be found here.

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.

Birthday treats must be store-bought. Please arrange with your student's teacher 1 or 2 days in advance of the birthday to have enough for the entire class. Treats will be distributed at recess, lunch, or dismissal depending upon class schedule and are limited to snacks. Please do not send sodas, pizzas, or similar items as they will not be delivered to your student's class.

Additionally, Davis Elementary does not accept deliveries of balloons, flowers, etc. for students. These deliveries are an interruption to our classes and learning environment. Please arrange to have deliveries made at home.
