We thank everyone for another great week of e-learning. We hope that your child has been able to establish a workable routine! Next week is Spring Break. There will be no e-learning assigned during Spring Break. We hope you find time to rest, relax and rejuvenate with family. You should expect further instructions for e-learning by 9 a.m. on Monday, April 6th. Thank you, all, for your continued flexibility and patience.

Denise Liechty and Lisa Simoncelli-Bulak will be working from home next week. If families from Davis or Richmond need something, please email us at dliechty@d303.org or lisa.simoncelli-bulak@d303.org

Just a reminder the district has created an e-learning webpage with information. Please check it out. https://district.d303.org/elearning

District 303 is providing meals for any student who needs them between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m Monday-Friday at Thompson Middle School, 705 W. Main Street. Anyone who needs breakfast and lunch may pick up a “grab and go” bag with up to two days of food at a time. Meals will also be provided during spring break.

This message is a reminder to elementary school families that the Intra-District transfer window for the 2020-2021 school year opens on April 7 at 8:00 a.m.

For the 2020-2021 school year, ALL elementary students have been assigned to their attendance area school by the District. This includes elementary students currently attending a school on an intra-district transfer.

An Intra-District Transfer Request must be submitted online no sooner than 8:00 a.m. on the first Tuesday following spring break (April 7, 2020) and no later than 4:00 p.m. on the third Monday following (April 20). A link to the request form will be posted on the District 303 web page (district.d303.org) by 8:00 a.m. on April 7.

If you are requesting a transfer for more than one child, a separate request must be submitted for each. Due to fluctuating class sizes at schools and each grade level, siblings are not guaranteed placement. If granted, transportation is the responsibility of the parents.

If you have questions about the process, please call the District office at 331.228.2000.

We have extended the yearbook deadline to March 27th! With all the current events, we thought parents could use some extra time to order Yearbooks just in case the deadline passed you by. If you have multiple students at Davis or Richmond you can order multiple books under 1 student's name and they can distribute as needed. Order now through the Push Coin account https://store.d303.org/?YCY57LFFT5=P7N5447C7C

PTO Board elections are coming up in April, and we have some positions that need to be filled! If you have any interest in joining the PTO Board, the returning board members would love to have you join the team! We are looking for a Co-President and a Director of Communications to help manage the website and E-News communication. If you are interested, please email us at davisrichmondPTO1@gmail.com and we can get you more information.

The PTO at Thompson Middle School needs your involvement! All Board positions and several Committee roles are open. In order to keep the PTO running at Thompson, they need YOU! If you are interested in learning more, email Nicole Snopko at nmsnopko@gmail.com.

Our 2nd Spring Training for Kdg Event has been postponed since school will not be in session.

Mrs. Liechty has been enjoying all of the emails and pictures our students have been sharing about their learning and time at home. Keep them coming!
