2024-2025 Davis County High School Supply List.

Attention! Here are the times for the Elementary and Middle Schools Open House Block parties!!

Dear Davis County Families, Our 2024-2025 school year will soon be underway, and we are very excited to have our students back in school for another amazing year. With the new school year approaching, we would like to remind families of all the benefits of completing a Free and Reduced Lunch application.  Many of the programs and funding streams that the district uses to provide high quality learning opportunities for our students depend on an accurate measure of the current socio-economic status of our students.  Many grants (such as Title, eRate, GearUp, etc.) that we rely on to provide high quality opportunities also use this data to decide who will be awarded funds.  In addition to district benefits, there are several ways that families benefit when they complete these applications:  free or reduced-price meals, reduced or waived book fees and driver’s education fees; reduced ACT/SAT costs; and benefits in college application processes, to name a few.  Completing the application is extremely important in helping families and our district, and we ask that you please fill out an application  You may fill out an electronic application form from the privacy of your own home. We believe this will greatly simplify the process. You may apply electronically at our www.dcmustangs.com website under our registration page.  However, if you run into a problem with this format, you can always contact Gari Fleetwood (gari.fleetwood@dcmustangs.com or 641-664-2200, ext.1130) or Pam Cantrell (pam.cantrell@dcmustangs.com or 641-664-2200 ext. 1422) for help.     You may also complete a paper copy of the free/reduced price lunch application if you are more comfortable with this format. Please be assured that all information you provide is confidential. If you have received a letter from our school district that your child/children have already been approved for free/reduced meals for the 2024-2025 school year you DO NOT need to fill out a free/reduced application. Your child/children are good to go for the school year.   Thank you in advance for your help with this important work.  Even if you are unsure about whether your family will qualify, we encourage you to complete the application anyway.  Many families focus on the fact that they may not qualify for free meals, yet they may be eligible for reduced meals. Because events may occur that impact a family’s financial situation, please know applications are available at all times throughout the school year.  Simply contact Pam Cantrell at pam.cantrell@dcmustangs.com or 641-664-2200, ext. 1422 for assistance. https://5il.co/2sq46
