Class placement consideration forms may be completed in the office after spring break. We will accept forms through the end of April. The purpose of these forms is to help us better understand students to aid in placement for 2026-2027. It is not a request for a specific teacher. We use many kinds of student data, including academic and behavioral considerations, to create balanced classrooms for optimal learning.

Teacher retirements, transfers, and changes in teacher assignment make specific teacher requests not feasible. Please be aware that all information included on these forms will be shared with teachers.

The DSD early childhood programs have begun registering for next year. Please see the flyer below for information. If you know people who would not receive this newsletter but have interest in preschool, please refer them to the DSD Early Childhood Office: 801-402-5409 or https://www.davis.k12.ut.us/o/dsd/page/early-childhood-programs

We would love parent support with these upcoming events. Use the links for each to sign up where you can. As a reminder, all volunteers, including field trip chaperones, must have a DSD background check. Use this link to schedule yours: https://calendly.com/dsdfingerprinting
