Hello South Davis Families.

Looking forward to welcoming everyone back at our Open House and the PTO's Back-to-School Bash tomorrow, August 27. We can't wait to see everyone again and set the stage for an amazing school year!

See you soon.

K-5 Open House and Supply Drop Off - 4-5:30 pm.

Have extra supplies? We will have a box at school where you can drop off any supplies your family doesn't need and it will go to other families in our school community.

The PTO Event is 4-7:00 p.m.

A map of the area is below for your reference.

Mrs. Sulski will be available during Open House to collect:

Medications and orders
Emergency Care Plans (ECPs)
Physical forms

If your child requires any of the above, feel free to drop them off at the nurse’s table that evening.

Attendance and Dismissal Notes

Please submit notes regarding dismissal for your child. If they will be participating in an after school club, going to the Boys and Girls Club, the YMCA, or the Rec. Department, or being picked up, notes can be added now to the Parent Portal. Notes do not carry over year to year, so get a head start now.

You Can be a SHINING Star, Too!

As you may know, our school learns about how we can be a kind and thoughtful person each and every day. It is part of our efforts to create a space where all students can shine, living out our District's commitment to good character and reaching one's full potential:

S - Show Citizenship

H - Have Gratitude

I - Instill Kindness

N - Nurture Mindfulness

E - Exercise Resilience

At Open House on Wednesday, we invite all students and families to sign a star to show they are equally committed. Stop by the table in the Foyer to sign a star - one for each person or the whole family can sign one together. We'll add them to our SHINE posters throughout the school, as daily reminders of how we want to treat others and be treated ourselves!

As shared previously, starting in September, a new New York State law prohibits students from using personal internet-enabled devices (phones, smartwatches, etc.) during the school day anywhere on school grounds, with limited exceptions for medical and IEP or 504 accommodations. This applies to all instructional and non-instructional periods, including homeroom, lunch, recess, passing time and all other activities during the school day.

Please see the attached letter for more details. The District's policy is also attached.
