Map Your Future Day
We will learn about our values of Grit & Preparation on our Wylie Way Map Your Future Day on Wednesday, Feb. 7! Our Wylie Way Days are an important part of preparing our students with the skills they need to succeed so thank you for supporting us in that! Please take a look at the lesson topics they will learn about. Our dress code for the day is: Bold Neon Colors. Let’s make it our best Wylie Way Day yet!
Checkpoint Testing
Next week, Davis students will be participating in checkpoint tests for reading, math, and 5th science. We want to ensure that your child is well-prepared for these important assessments. The checkpoint tests are scheduled to take place on the following days –
· 2/5: 5th & 6th Reading
· 2/8: 5th Science
· 2/13: 5th & 6th Math
In order to facilitate a smooth testing experience, we kindly request that you ensure your child's Chromebook is fully charged the night before the exams. A charged device will ensure uninterrupted access to online resources and help your child perform at their best. We appreciate your ongoing support and collaboration in fostering a positive learning environment for our students.

Our Amazing Cafeteria Staff Sets A District Record
You may see some animals in the cafeteria lines for the next few weeks. Each animal represents a different accomplishment for the cafeteria staff and none would be possible without the amazing students and staff of Davis. There is most breakfast increase ( rooster), most lunch increase (cow), most ala cart increase (pig), and the most for ALL categories. We have reached ALL these for the last 3 months! This is the first time that one school has ever gotten all four at one time! So that means we can say that we have the best cafeteria. We thank you all for making this possible. Davis rocks!
