📚✨ Testing Time at Davis! ✨📚
Our General Summative Assessment begins tomorrow—Thursday, May 15th for grades 3–5.
Please help your child be ready to succeed by:
✅ Getting a good night’s rest
✅ Eating breakfast at home or school
✅ Arriving at school on time
💡 Studies show students perform better when they test with their class and teacher—so attendance is extra important!
We’ve got great incentives lined up to celebrate student effort, and we’re proud of all the hard work our Davis Dragons have put in this year. Let’s finish strong! 🐉💙💛
Social studies texts books are open to review.
📢 Parent-Teacher Conference Rescheduled

Egg Hunt Rescheduled for This Week
We’re excited to share that our rescheduled Egg Hunt will take place this week during each class’s scheduled Physical Education time, either Tuesday or Thursday, depending on the weather forecast.
While we were disappointed we couldn’t hold the event before Spring Break, this schedule allows us to celebrate with students without disrupting the academic day.
We’ll be sure to capture and share photos of the fun on Facebook and ClassDojo—stay tuned!
Thank you for your continued support!
Important Update: Egg Hunt Postponed
We apologize for the late notice, but after reviewing multiple weather sources this morning, it appears there is a high chance of showers and thunderstorms during our scheduled egg hunt. For the safety of everyone, we have decided to postpone the egg hunt until after break.
Classroom celebrations will still take place today beginning at 2:00 PM as planned.
Thank you for your understanding!

Good evening, Davis Dragon families. This is a reminder that tomorrow marks the start of our benchmark assessments for students in grades three through five. To ensure students are fully prepared., we kindly ask that those who are parent drop offs arrive at school before 8 AM. Arriving early allow students enough time to enjoy breakfast and settle in comfortably before testing. We are excited to see all of Davis dragons tomorrow and are confident they will do their very best. Thank you for your continued support and have a great evening.
