Family Update

It is so hard to believe that we are already to the last week of school. Each year it amazes me how fast the year goes by. Next week we have no school on Monday in observance of Memorial Day. We will have three full days Tuesday-Thursday, and Friday is a half day with students being dismissed at 11:48am. Next week's newsletter (last for the year) will include information that you need for summer so make sure to check back.

Have a great, long weekend.

Go Irish!

Flat Irish is the new Davis summer reading mascot! All Davis students received a Flat Irish bookmark in their language arts classes, and we'd love to see what reading adventures Flat Irish takes this summer. Any time Davis students or staff are reading this summer, they can send us a photo of the book with the Flat Irish bookmark and tell us a general location where they are reading (if the bookmark is lost, we would still love to receive a photo of the book!). We will pin the photo on our Flat Irish Google Map. Check out our Google Map throughout the summer to see what and where Davis students and staff are reading! Students who submit photos will be eligible to win prizes like a Barnes and Noble gift card and brand new books. Let's keep the Davis reading momentum going over the summer with Flat Irish Reading Adventures!

MOVING OVER THE SUMMER?

If you are moving and withdrawing your student please contact our Guidance Secretary, Laura Frazee, at frazee_laura@dublinschools.net or 614-718-8613. Per the Middle School Student Handbook, a withdrawal form must be picked up in the Guidance Department at least three days prior to withdrawal. This is especially important as we near the end of the school year so that we have enough time to forward your student's cumulative records to their new school. Thank you!

Summer & Fall Sports Schedules

Summer is almost here, and that means Summer sports workouts! All of the Davis sports summer conditioning schedules were posted on Monday, May 11, on the Athletic Website. There you will find a posting for each Fall sport that will be conducting optional conditioning over the Summer. You will also find the open gym dates for volleyball, open nets for tennis, and tryout dates and times for all of our Fall Sports. ( Football, Cheer, Volleyball, Cross Country, Girls Tennis, Golf)

Final Forms Registration for Summer and Fall 2026 - The "window" for open registration for Final Forms will open district-wide on Monday, June 1, 2026.

DCS is working with Final Forms to help make the registration and account creation process much easier moving forward.

Sports Physicals - This is a reminder that all athletes must have a current physical in the Athletic Office PRIOR to any participation in summer conditioning, open gyms, and tryouts. Physicals must be completed using the Ohio High School Athletic Association

(OHSAA) physical form only. This form can be downloaded from the Davis Athletic website or the OHSAA website. Physicals from last sports season are good for 13 months and do carry over with a valid date into the next school year.
