The School Supply Kit sale for next school year is starting now.  These supply kits are a one-stop-shop for your kids’ supplies, very easy to order (online or paper copy) and helps you avoid long lines at a store. The kits are available for purchase from now through the end of this month (paper forms: May 23^rd, online orders: May 31^st).  The kits will only include items in the 6^th, 7^th, or 8^th grade supply list, NOT electives (such as ELL, Reading Intervention, Tech Solutions, etc).  Parents will need to purchase these elective items on their own.

There are two ways to order your child’s supply kit (Online or Paper Form w/check).  Order online at www.shopttkits.com, use code 9625 or paper form (this will be sent home with your child).

When you place your order the school supplies (enclosed in a small cardboard box with your child’s name on it) will be delivered to the school, so there will be no need to carry a load of supplies to school since it will be conveniently delivered to the school.  The kits will be available for pick-up on your student’s walk-thru day (6th grade Aug 10, 6p-7:30p, 7/8th grade Aug 11th 8a-3p).  If the kit is not picked up on walk-thru day, it will be placed in your child’s homeroom class.

Thank you for your support and patience as we explore new ways to improve the PTO and volunteer services.

By now your student has brought home information and a donation envelope for the upcoming Davis Walk the Irish Way event – Friday, February 29th 2:00 – 3:00 pm.  (If they haven’t, start digging through their backpacks – grin).

This is a great event – the kids get to get-moving outside and raise money for positive climate events Davis and the Prevent Child Abuse America organization.  We ask that each walker donate at least $5 to participate.  The event will end at the track with popsicles and music!  Parents are encouraged to participate too!

We need just a few volunteers for this event.  If you can help – click on the link below.
