Vitt Factor Assembly for Grades 3-5
The Davis PTO sponsored an amazing assembly this week! 3rd-5th Grade students enjoyed an interactive and motivational assembly delivered by Caden Vittorini of The Vitt Factor. Cadenβs relatable presence & relevant content kept students laughing, focused, and engaged. He led them through questions, examples, and funny yet thought-provoking exercises to help them grow in confidence & leadership. Please ask your 3-5 grader something that he or she learned from this presentation!

Illinois state law requires that all children entering kindergarten, second grade, and sixth grade will have an oral health examination. A licensed dentist must perform the dental exam and he/she shall sign and date the report form. Dental offices usually have the form, but the dental exam form can be obtained by clicking here or by visiting d303.org website under forms, then Health Services. This exam must be within 18 months of May 15, 2026.
In an effort to assist you in completing this oral health exam for your child, the Mobile Dentist will be on site at Davis on Friday, Jan. 16th provided we have enough students for the Mobile Dentist to come.
