DAVIS HILL COMMUNITY UPDATE
January 27, 2020
Dear Davis Hill Community,
I hope that everyone is enjoying their weekend and enjoying the sunshine today. Please see the update for the below.
Kindly,
Jay C. Norton, Principal
*Don't forget to read through the entire update... there are always more dates in the Upcoming Events Section. If you have any questions/ concerns- please don't hesitate to contact me/ the office.
Report Cards Available on Tuesday, January 28th at 4:00PM
Report Cards will be 'live' on Tuesday, January 28th at 4:00PM via the PowerSchool Parent Portal.
NOTE: Report Card Grades/ Comments are not considered 'official' until 4:00PM on Tuesday the 28th. The PowerSchool Parent Portal has been closed at this time and will reopen on Tuesday, January 28th at 4:00.
Early Dismissal: Thursday, January 30th (12:20 Dismissal)
Thursday, is a half-day for Davis Hill Students.
Please note the following:
-Dismissal will be at 12:20 for all students.
-There is NO Holden Recreational Department After School Program on Thursday.
-For students who typically attend the After School Program, I do request that parents send a note in with their child confirming their dismissal plans for the half-day. This is incredibly helpful for the teachers/ office staff and reduces our need to make phone calls verifying dismissal plans. Students who typically attend the After School Program will be sent home according to their assignment in PowerSchool if no notification is received.
-Notes should also be sent in for any students who will have a change to their typical dismissal routine for Thursday.
*NOTE
The WRSD and Davis Hill will once again be serving lunch on half-days this school year. Please see the lunch menu link on our website if you are interested in purchasing lunch on these days. All students (whether buying lunch or not) will be provided a time to eat in the cafeteria on half-days.
