DAVIS HILL COMMUNITY UPDATE
October 21, 2019
Dear Davis Hill Community,
I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. I know that I am busy getting ready for our trip this week... Looking forward to heading up north with our DHDragons!
Have a great Sunday!
Kindly,
Jay C. Norton, Principal
*Don't forget to read through the entire update... there are always more dates in the Upcoming Events Section. If you have any questions/ concerns- please don't hesitate to contact me/ the office.
ECOLOGY SCHOOL TRIP
5th Grade Parents: Reminder that on Tuesday morning students are expected to report to Davis Hill at 7:00AM. Thanks!
HALF-DAY DISMISSAL ON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24TH
Thursday, October 24th is a half-day for Davis Hill Students.
Please note the following:
-Dismissal will be at 12:20 for all students.
-There is NO Holden Recreational Department After School Program on Thursday.
-For students who typically attend the After School Program, I do request that parents send a note in with their child confirming their dismissal plans for the half-day. This is incredibly helpful for the teachers/ office staff and reduces our need to make phone calls verifying dismissal plans. Students who typically attend the After School Program will be sent home according to their assignment in PowerSchool if no notification is received.
-Notes should also be sent in for any students who will have a change to their typical dismissal routine for Thursday.
*NOTE
The WRSD and Davis Hill will once again be serving lunch on half-days this school year. Please see the lunch menu link on our website if you are interested in purchasing lunch on these days. All students (whether buying lunch or not) will be provided a time to eat in the cafeteria on half-days.

MCAS Results
MCAS results for individual students should be received in the mail in the next day or two (if they have not already been received) for students in grades 4 and 5. Overall, Davis Hill performed strongly this past school year and our staff and DHDragons should feel proud of their efforts.
