We will celebrate Valentine’s Day on Monday, February 14th. Students may bring in Valentines to share with the class. Valentines can be accompanied with a small trinket or goodie bag. Goodie bags will be sent home with your child. Candy may be passed out and sent home, but will not be eaten at the party. Look for more information from your child’s classroom teacher in their weekly newsletters.

We are looking for a secretary to join our board for the 2022-23 school year! If you’re interested or have questions, please contact us at davisrichmondpto1@gmail.com.

Greetings, Parents and Guardians of students receiving special education services in District 303! We are moving our next SE-PAC meeting to Tuesday, February 15, 2022 (From February 1). The meeting will be held from 7:00-8:30 via Zoom. During our time together, we will review outcomes from the 2021-2022 parent survey and participate in shared learning on supporting students during transition meetings. Department administrators will share information on the transition process and gain your insights to support students as they move from Early Childhood to Elementary, Elementary to Middle, Middle to High, and High School to Post-Secondary programs. We are hopeful you can join us on February 15!

When you are running late and need to come to the front office please DO NOT park in the bus lane before 8:15. We would ask that you park in the parking lot and escort your students in. We still have buses that are dropping off students after 8:00. When cars are parked in the bus lane they have had to wait a while for all of our students to exit the bus or some have gone around the bus which causes concern for student safety.

We have also had quite a few cars double parked on Horne St. as they drop off their kindergarten students. Please consider dropping off your student in the drop off lane on Seventh Street. We have plenty of staff supporting students getting out of cars and helping them get to class. Thank you for your cooperation.

Davis is excited to honor our students who go above and beyond in showing their Davis Best expectations of being respectful, being responsible, and being safe. Every month the staff nominate students who show these wonderful characteristics every day. We will be honoring 2 kindergarteners, 2 first graders, and 2 second graders every month. This month our Golden Paw winners are Scarlett Williams, Adriana Herrera, Jazmine Martinez, Roe Glamkoski, Leland Pilapil, and Grayson Denning. Congratulations!

Thank You to many wonderful Davis families who responded to our request for Winter boots, coats & snowpants. Your kind & generous donations have already helped many students enjoy the snow. We are thrilled to be a part of such a supportive community!!
