🍦Our 4th Graders won the Frosty Frenzy Attendance Challenge in January!🥇

📚Our January Readers of the Month are Tanner Dowdle, Dakota Plumlee, Grayson Bailey, Legend Smith, and not pictured are Mattie Fisher-Castleberry and Kasey Hall. We will have a drawing in May for a $50 Amazon Gift card for a student that was recognized as a Reader of the Month this school year!

➕Cracking The Code📐

🧮Our first graders have been thinking it through, step by step! They are cracking the code of math word problems! ✨

🎯Little Letters Lead To Big Impacts On Writing📝

Studies in primary grades find that better handwriting fluency is associated with stronger overall writing quality, because when writing becomes automatic, students can devote more brainpower to higher-level writing processes. That's why we have 3 staff members who push in to kindergarten and first grade to assist with developing better handwriting skills.

✨Feeling the love for our PTO! 🍩

Snacks, smiles, and the biggest fundraiser of the year ahead—thank you for your time, heart, and commitment to our school community. We can't wait to see what you have in store for our families on Saturday's Daddy /Daughter Dance!

😀📣Families are invited to complete our 25-26 School Climate Survey. This link is directly connected to Davis Elementary School's performance. Each school has a unique code. 👀🧑🏻‍🏫
