Biome Student Presentations In 2nd Grade
A huge shout out goes to Ms. Carlson and her 2nd grade class on their presentations of biomes. I gained a better understanding of the desert from the small group presentation I observed and was amazed at the time, energy, and knowledge that all the students put into their presentations. For those parents who were there for the presentations, thank you for coming. You should be very proud of your students for their efforts.
Parent University
Due to increased community interest and to ensure the safety of those who are planning to attend, Davis Parent University's January 11 event with Rachel Pepper will be held online and not in person as originally scheduled. Holding this event virtually ensures that it is conducive to learning for our entire community.
Please go to www.davisparentuniversity.com at 7 PM on Wednesday, January 11 to watch a video of Rachel's lecture and her Q&A with moderator Pamela Wu.”
Student Drop Off On Rainy Days
Student arrival on rainy days can become problematic in keeping students out of the rain. To support us, please drop students off for school as close to 8:25 as possible to cut down on students collecting/playing in the rain. We really appreciate it!
