Family Update

I wanted to thank you all for your continued support of your students and our staff here at Davis. With spring break two weeks away, and the weather not being able to make up its mind, some days get a bit squirrelly. We are working hard to keep momentum in the classroom while still celebrating the fun in learning. As we work hard for the next two weeks, please help us by reminding your student that small daily choices -- arriving on time and ready to learn, participating fully in the classroom, completing assignments, and following expectations like keeping their cell phones off and away during the day -- make a bid difference. Teachers are planning engaging, hands-on activities and moments of fun (shout out to Student Council for Necklace Knockout!) so students can stay motivated and curious. We are also leading up to a schoolwide assembly the last day before break. Thank you for partnering with us to make these final two weeks productive and fun for every student!

Have a wonderful weekend.

Go Irish!

We only order a few extra yearbooks when they deliver in the fall and prices will increase in September. Order online at book.hrimaging.com or with the order form brought home this week. We will accept cash or checks made payable to HR Imaging . Don't miss out!

If you have an 8th grader, this is important information...

Last week, Ms. Wilhelm and Mrs. Gerlach met with all of the 8th grade students.

Ms. Wilhelm met with students who are attending the Washington, DC trip. Students were given important paperwork that needs to be filled out by parents. In the event that your student did not bring home this packet to you, it can be accessed here. There are forms that need to be notarized. Please make sure you wait to sign that form until you are with a notary.
We will be having a notary night at Davis on March 24 from 3:30-6:30PM. You can bring your paperwork in on that day and Mrs. Esker will be available to notarize your papers.

We will also be having a parent meeting that evening at 5:30PM in the commons to go over final trip details and share information pertaining to dietary and/or medication. Please plan to join us if your student will be going on the DC trip.

Mrs. Gerlach met with the students who are not going to DC and will experience a fun week of opportunities in Central Ohio. She gave them paperwork to bring home to you about the three field trips that are planned for the week. This paperwork will need to be filled out designating which trips your student is planning to attend. If your student did not bring home the paperwork, you can access it here. Permission slips and money are due to Mrs. Gerlach by March 27.

If you have any questions pertaining to the trips, please reach out to Ms. Wilhelm or Mrs. Gerlach.

For our students who will be celebrating Ramadan, we will be providing a space for students to report to instead of going to the cafeteria at lunch time while they are fasting, if they so choose.

Our 6th grade students can report to the Band Room (Room 135) during their lunch.

Our 7th grade students can report to the Choir Room (Room 137) during their lunch.

Our 8th grade students can report to the Orchestra Room (Room 136) during their lunch.

Students can bring their Chromebooks to work on or a book to read. Cell phones will not be permitted.

We will be making an announcement at school but please share this information with your student if they will be fasting/celebrating Ramadan. Thanks!

We're excited to tell you about an educational tour we have planned to London, Paris, and Disneyland Paris for the summer of 2027.
