South Davis Shines

Hello South Davis Families.

It's hard to believe but we are just less than 1 month (23 days!) from the start of the new school year!

I wanted to share a few reminders and updates to help you plan as you enjoy the last few weeks of this amazing summer.

Please reach out if you have any questions to help you and your children as you prepare for September 3, our first day of school.

Mr. Dolce

We are again using School Tool Box for families to purchase your supplies in one place, shipped directly home. You can order from this website. and a one-page document with a detailed list for each grade is attached.

There is a printable/shareable file attached, with a QR code as well.

The following items are required for all students but are not included in the supply lists:

• A standard-sized backpack large enough for a lunch box and school work (no wheels)
• Computer headphones (not wireless), in a sealable plastic bag (K-5 only)
• Sweatshirt to be kept at school for emergency use (will be returned, K-5 only)
• Art smock (an old adult t-shirt works best)
• Reusable water bottle

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.

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.

All class assignments and Transportation information will be available to families through the Parent Portal starting Thursday, August 21. Please be sure your portal account is active and up to date.

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.

Room Parents play a key role in helping our classrooms stay connected and organized.

You’ll help share PTO updates, coordinate volunteers for fun school events, and support the teacher with classroom activities and communication.

It’s a great way to get involved, meet other families, and make a big difference at South Davis! Sign up details to come!

There are lots of behind-the-scenes improvements being made to get ready for the addition of new classrooms for the start of next school year. Here are a few pictures of what's been going on.
