PLEASE NOTE: WE FOLLOW THE EARLY-OUT SCHEDULE JANUARY 27 & JANUARY 28!

Please take note we will follow the early-out schedule on Wednesday, January 27 and Thursday, January 28. Because we didn't do this for October conference week and have remote learning days on Fridays this year, the early-out schedule may be new and confusing to some.

  • Kindergarten sessions are scheduled for two hours. Morning students come at 8:50am and are excused at 10:50am. Afternoon students come at 11:25pm and stay until 1:25pm, when they are excused with the older students.

2020-21 CALENDAR UPDATED (AGAIN)

The Board of Education of the Davis School District approved a revision to the 2020-21 calendar during its regular meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 5. The changes include moving a professional day from Friday, March 5 to Tuesday, Feb. 16. A professional day is negotiated for teachers and means students are not in class, but teachers are receiving professional instruction or are finalizing report cards and preparing for parent conferences. Friday, March 5 will be a remote learning day. The change allows a nearly equal pattern of A and B blocks of classes for secondary students to continue through the end of the year. Additionally, the end of the year includes a remote learning day on Friday, June 4. That day will still be used for teachers to help students in need of remediation. Those students who have completed their work will attend school on Thursday as the last day.

2021-22 CALENDAR UPDATED (AGAIN)

The proposal for the next year’s school calendar for 2021-22 includes ending before Memorial Day. Parents overwhelmingly made that request on a survey for the draft calendar. After some adjustments and negotiations, the calendar committee unanimously approved that option and sent the proposed calendar to the school board for its consideration. The Board of Education will make a final decision on the 2021-22 calendar proposal during its regular meeting Feb. 2.
Reading's Quarantine Learning Framework

This document is intended as a proactive measure to help teachers, parents and students better understand what to expect if we are confronted with a whole-class or whole-school quarantine.
