I hope that everyone is enjoying their February break. Lucky for us who weren't able to get away that we also got to enjoy some unseasonable warmth! Daylight savings and Opening Day are not that far away!
Looking forward to seeing our students return tomorrow.

School Store Open- Friday, March 2nd
Reminder that the School Store will be open this Friday during lunch.
Note: The School Store will have some new items this month! Bracelets/ pencils and 'poppers'.
IMPORTANT: BOX TOPS!
We have recently received word that the next BoxTops submission is due on MARCH 1st... We need your help in order to reach our goal of earning $2000 for the year. Our first submission was a great success ($900)... but this is our last opportunity to submit for this school year. Please consider taking that extra moment to collect and submit Box Tops to Davis Hill. WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT!
Don't forget... Once a month the PTA has a raffle for students whose families submit BoxTops where the top three winners earn "Dragon Bucks" for the School Store.
Note: We will continue to collect after March 1st.. but those submissions will not be able to be turned in until the next submission date.
Thank you!
Link: MCAS Schedule
This year our students will be taking the MCAS on the computer. This is a change for our students as we have historically completed MCAS testing using paper/ pencil materials. As is true with any change, there will be some challenges associated with our transition to the computer based platform. As a staff, we will be working together to support our students through this change.
For more information on MCAS, please see the link from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE).
