Monday Ducks Update
Monday Ducks Update
March 4, 2024
Note from Ms. de Boom-Howard
Happy Monday!! I hope you all enjoyed the rain and sun this weekend. I'm thrilled about the upcoming week, especially with our fantastic PALS "Kindness Era" week. Each day is dedicated to a theme inspired by Taylor Swift's records, like Fearless Era, Gratitude Era, and more! The schedule is packed with school spirit and activities, including expressing gratitude, speaking up for someone, and showcasing your best self. I'm particularly looking forward to Wednesday when DJ Rodrick will be joining us during lunch to celebrate Kindness at Davis. Kindness Week Flyer 2024 PDF
A big thank you to Mrs. Holman, Mrs. Matthews, and Mrs. Galen for their continuous support of our PALS throughout the year. Let's make this Kindness Era week unforgettable!
Have a great week!!
Go Ducks!

Important Dates
Reminders/Updates
Parent resources to support students online:
Please mark your calendars for the NMUSD Virtual Parent Webinar- Raising Responsible Digital Citizens on March 13, 202 from 4 - 6 pm.
This reminder to parents to keep an eye on their students when they are in chat rooms and texting with friends. We are seeing an uptick of students sending things to their friends that are inappropriate.
Here are a few tips:
Create and write out rules and expectations for your child to text.
Monitor what they are doing on their phone, tablets, or other devices. (Make sure to look at deleted messages.)
Only allow them to have friends' numbers who are attached to their names. This way you can contact other student’s parents if something pops up at home.
Remind them to be kind and respectful.
We had a school-wide Cyber Safety Assembly today, 3/4/24. Please click on the links below to learn more about what was covered and find discussion questions to have with your children at home. Grades K-3 Grades 4-6
Conference Week- NEXT WEEK
Reminders school dismisses at 1:20 (Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri.) and there is no school on Wednesday. We look forward to meeting with you to talk about your child’s success and ensure a plan is in place for a successful end of the year.
Lost and Found
The deadline for Lost and Found items is March 31st. Please visit the office or flag deck this week to check for any belongings. We have several boxes filled with umbrellas, clothing, and lunch items. If your child attends ROCKS, kindly drop by ROCKS, as they currently have numerous bags containing lost and found items.
