Students of the Month-Manners
Congratulations to our September Students of the Month! These students were recognized for demonstrating our monthly character trait of manners. Through their kindness, respect, and thoughtfulness toward others, they have shown what it means to practice good manners each day. We are so proud of them!
Veterans Day Assembly
The students at Centerville Elementary will be honoring our military and those currently serving in our military with our annual Veteran’s Day assembly. We would like to have as many veterans and active military members in attendance as possible. Our assembly will be on Wednesday, November 11th at 9:15 am. Please extend this invitation to anyone in your family or neighborhood who has served in the military.
Along with the assembly, we would like to honor our Veteran’s by placing a photo along with some
information about their service on the walls of our school. These pictures will be displayed during the
month of November. Please submit a photo (that you do not need returned) along with this form so that we can honor them on the Veteran’s Wall. If you have already submitted the Veteran’s information in previous years, we will still have it displayed - it is not necessary to resubmit it. Please submit this information to the office or Sharon Camacho (scamacho@dsdmail.net) by October 28th.
Also, Veterans will sit as our guest of honor in a VIP section. VIP tickets will be issued the day prior to the program and will expedite check-in. Please fill out the form below for a ticket and have a photo ID available when arriving at the school. Please arrive by 9:00 am.
Halloween Parade Plan B (if needed)
Rain Plan B
In the event of rain, we will have parents come inside for our parade. All parents coming in must have ID and must sign-in. If it is actively raining Friday morning, we will have students in the covered courtyard before the bell rings. Once the students head to class, we can bring parents in. Please do not try to come in the building before the bell. We ask that you do not go down to the classrooms. All parents will meet in the covered courtyard and line up around the outside edges of the room. If we run out of room, we will have an overflow in the cafeteria. Cross your fingers the rain will hold off until after our parade!
Halloween Activities and Costume Guidelines
We are excited to announce that we will be having our Halloween parade again this year. It will begin at 9:15 am. Please send your child to school in their costume if they want to participate. After the parade, all students will be removing their costumes for the remainder of the day.
With Halloween coming up, we need to be aware of our district costume guidelines. I will attach the document below. Please read through these guidelines carefully to ensure your student's costume will be allowed at school. These guidelines apply to all costumes, no matter the holiday (Halloween, Thanksgiving, school play, etc.).
Here are a few important things to remember:
- No masks or weapons of any kind (including claws, light sabers, etc.)
- Students may not dress up as an ethnic or cultural group or color faces to represent another race or ethnicity.
- Costumes must be family friendly. Nothing gory, threatening, or offensive.
Attached is the parade route for parents to watch. Students will exit through the south exit at the library doors and circle around the playground black top. We invite all parents who can join us to line up around the parade route to see the fun costumes on display.
Teachers will notify you about the time of their class parties.
Running Club Days Update
The running club will only be meeting on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday moving forward.
Family Literacy Night
Early literacy builds the foundation for academic achievement.
Davis School District’s Family Literacy Nights help families support children’s reading and learning from the earliest years through elementary school.
Families will participate in hands-on activities, learn practical strategies and choose four sessions tailored to their child’s age, grade and learning needs.
Sessions are designed for children ages 0–3, ages 3–5, kindergarten and first grade, and second and third grade. Sessions will be offered in English and Spanish, with interpretation available in additional languages.
Join us for Early Bird Gets the Worm at one of two locations:

Trait of the Month-Attentiveness
Centerville Eagles are Attentive!
This month our students will be working on building their skills of attentiveness. They will practice being attentive listeners during class and when anyone speaks to them. At home, you can also practice this skill. When you speak to your child, help them remember to make eye contact with you, face you and have a listening posture, help them practice listening, reflecting, and following up with good questions when applicable, and then following through with anything they have been asked to do. Encourage your child to complete the activity for the month and to help practice the skill of being an attentive listener.
