Here are three things to know about for the coming week.

1. When checking a student out parents/guardians must show their ID at the door and come into the office. Please put your ID close to the camera so that we can verify it. Parents/guardians will need to know their myDSD account information to log into the iPad and complete checkout process. Each parent/guardian will need to have created their own account. Students cannot check themselves out.
2. Picture day is on Wednesday. Flyers have come home with all of the information. You can prepay online at bellphoto.com. The prepay code is stewart24.
3. We are going to be having a Halloween Costume Parade this year. It will be critical that every parent and guardian knows about the costume guidelines in order for this event to be respectful, responsible, safe, kind and understanding. Please refer to the document below. A copy will be provided to each student next week.

Every day is a great day to be a Star!

Sincerely,

Michelle Yoho and Laura Campbell

Celebrating our 17th year anniversary, The Davis School District Office of Equal Opportunity invites all K-12 currently enrolled in the Davis School District to enter the 2024-2025 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Speech Contest. This gives our students the opportunity to reflect on the legacy of Dr. King.

The five categories are:

K-2nd grades

3rd-4th grades

5th-6th grades

7th-9th grades

10th-12th grades

Cash awards for each category (from the district):

First Place $100.00

Second Place $75.00

Third Place $50.00

Contestants must memorize an excerpt between 1-3 minutes in length. The excerpt must be from a single speech of Dr. King and cannot be from multiple speeches.

Stewart school judging will take place Thursday, October 10, 2024 after school in the library. If a student is interested, please have them talk to their teacher or Mrs. Peterson.

Please refer to the document below as you are choosing Halloween costumes for your children this year.

Each of you makes our school a wonderful place to be. Together we will continue to develop qualities that make our school a happy place for all. One way we will do this is through our LETTERING Challenge.

We will focus on one character trait each month. You will have the opportunity to complete the steps outlined in this booklet to help you develop that trait. Each student who completes all the steps for the month will earn that month’s letter, which will be printed on a star brag tag. We hope you will earn all the letters for the year – MAGIC!

There will also be a bonus letter, E for excellence. Students will complete their own Excellence Project to earn this letter. You will want to start this project by second term. Information about this project is on the following page so you can begin to think about ideas. Seeing everyone’s projects on display will be one of the highlights of our year!

We are so glad you are at Stewart Elementary. We know you will love EXPERIENCING THE MAGIC this year!

This month students will be practicing our Stewart magical manner, "Make Room." This manner encourages students to make room for one more person anytime they can. We are asking students to intentionally look for ways to include people. Students will work on earning their letter "M" for Manners during the month of September.

1. We are asking our parents for extra support with attendance and daily home reading this year. Students will have an opportunity to earn brag tag in each of these areas each month, starting in September. Please help your students establish these habits now so they can be successful in earning their brag tags. They will experience the magic this year one day at a time and one page at a time!

• Attendance: Students can earn an attendance brag tag if they have 1 or less absences that month.
• Reading: Students can earn a reading brag tag if they read at home a minimum of 18 days during the month for at least 20 minutes each day (15 minutes for kindergarten). Students will report this to their teacher.

Students coming into breakfast will come in through the front doors and then exit the same doors at the end of breakfast.

You can see what's for lunch at the following website: https://davis.nutrislice.com/menu/stewart.

Here are some ways you can support your students at home with literacy.
