"NO MORE, NOT HERE!" VIDEO #2
Dear parents and guardians,
In a continuing effort to create a more positive, inclusive, and caring atmosphere in our schools, Davis School District has produced the second in a series of videos entitled “No More, Not Here!” You can preview the elementary video above. As you’ll see in the video, our district's own teachers and administrators are assisting in the effort to help students know how to respond appropriately when challenging situations arise. This is a districtwide effort to create a more inclusive school environment where every student feels comfortable and where everyone can learn and grow within the classrooms of our schools. The videos will be shown to students at school beginning Monday. If, after you preview the video, you prefer not to have your child watch it in class please let the classroom teacher or Mr. Hughes know.

The Best of Davis Award celebrates the exceptional employees in the Davis School District. The program recognizes up to 45 district employees (15 elementary teachers, 15 secondary teachers, 5 instructional support staff and 10 classified staff) for the excellent work they are doing. Thanks to Chevron, Hogan & Associates Construction and the Davis Education Foundation, each winner receives a monetary award and small token of appreciation.
