Our Back to School Night for our PreK and Kindergarten families is scheduled for tonight!

This event is an informational night for adults only from 6:30-7:45pm.

From 6:30-7:00pm there will be various resources and information available for families to browse. Additionally if you are interested in completing CORI/SORI forms we will be running check in stations then. Presentations in the classroom will begin at 7:00pm. You must have your license or passport on you in order to complete these forms.

If your child is going to be out of school, or tardy, or dismissed, please remember to call our Attendance Line at 781-918-4965. You can leave a message on this line anytime, day or evening. Please call before 9am if your child will be absent on any given day and before 1:15pm if your child's dismissal is in need of change.

Anyone who wishes to volunteer in their child's classroom must have a current CORI form in our system. In order for your completed form to be sent to our Central Office, we will need to take a look at your ID to verify your current address. This needs to be done in person. No photocopies can be accepted. Cori forms are valid for the current school year only and usually take 5 business days to clear. Valid CORIs are good for the entire district...no need to fill out separate forms for different schools!

Lost and found items are already overflowing! Please label your child's items with their first AND last name or at least their last initial so that items can make their way back to your children. Any items remaining on next Friday 10/4, will be donated!

If your child is diagnosed with an illness such as strep, covid, flu, etc., please report that information on the illness line, email to let me know at Leah_Devereaux@bedfordps.org, or call into my office at 781-918-4906.

Thank you for helping to keep the Davis School happy and healthy!
