We are better & stronger together: Week of October 16
Principal's Biweekly Message
Greetings Davis Families,
Tomorrow, we will kick off a collection drive. Our collection drive will take place from Monday, October 17, through November 2. We are collecting new and gently used clothes and toys. You may send in your donations with your students or drop them off in the main office.
This Wednesday, families of our students in grades 4 & 5, will receive copies of the 2022 PSSA scores. Additional information will be shared from the Office of Teaching and Learning.
In preparation for the Halloween celebrations on October 31, if your child does not celebrate Halloween, but will be in school that day, please let us know so we can provide an alternate activity. The Google form is available here.
The Davis Math Challenge is back. Please read below for details on how to participate.

Family Trips Scheduled During the School Year
Dear Davis Families;
The Centennial School District Board of School Directors approved Policy 204.1, Family Trips Scheduled During School Year.
Although the scheduling of family trips during the instructional year is not encouraged, the Centennial School Board recognizes that students may benefit educationally by accompanying their parent(s)/guardian(s) on trips. The revision to the policy will allow the schools to approve up to five (5) days instead of three (3). Any trip beyond five (5) days will need the approval of the Superintendent.
Parent(s)/Guardian(s) who are requesting approval for a family trip need to complete and submit the attached form to the attendance office for approval at least two (2) weeks before the trip. The completed form may be submitted to daattendance@centennialsd.org.
Please do not email these forms to the principal.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding a family trip, please contact the main office.
