Dear Davis County Families,
With profound sadness, we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of Elias Steffen, beloved son of Kyle and TaNisha and cherished brother of Everleigh and Leo. As many of you know, the Steffen family has faced an incredibly difficult journey with Elias’s health. After exhausting all possible options, they have had to say goodbye to their beloved son and brother.
There are no words to fully express the depth of this loss, and our hearts go out to the Steffen family during this unimaginable time. As a school community, we know that grief touches each of us differently, and our children may have questions or emotions they struggle to understand.
If you are looking for ways to support your child in processing this loss, here are a few suggestions:
- Use simple, honest, and age-appropriate language.
- Encourage them to ask questions and answer as best you can.
- Let them know their feelings—whether sadness, confusion, or even anger—are normal and valid.
- Remind them they are not alone, and that our school community is here to support them.
Our school counselors and staff are available to support both students and families during this difficult time. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you or your child need guidance or a listening ear.
Out of respect for the Steffen family’s privacy, we kindly ask that everyone allow them the space they need as they navigate this heartbreaking loss. In particular, we ask that students refrain from asking the family about Elias's passing while at school. School can be a place of comfort and routine for them, and giving them the opportunity to engage in their day without difficult conversations will be an important part of their healing. Your quiet support, thoughts, and prayers mean so much to them.
In the days ahead, let’s continue to come together as a community, offering love, strength, and compassion to one another.
The 7th grade Medical Detectives class is building neuron models with art materials. They then are taking stop motion pictures of a "signal" traveling through the neuron and turning the pictures into a GIF. Students will use their knowledge to diagnose patients with nervous system disorders before learning about the brain.

Fifth grade started learning about space systems this week! Their goal is to discover why the moon sometimes appears during the day, and other times with the stars in the night. They started by doing an experiment to track the sun's position in the sky by measuring shadows.

The next Coaching Authorization class offered by Indian Hills Community College is scheduled Saturday, April 26 and Sunday, April 27 from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm each day.
This course is approved by the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners. It is a 55-hour comprehensive coaching education course that, upon successful completion, will provide participants with the essential knowledge and credentials to earn their coaching authorization license. This is a hybrid class, 12 hours of face-to-face classroom and the additional online course work completed at the participant’s own pace. The face-to-face classroom provides a hands-on component so that coaches know what to do in case of an emergency. Participants will learn how to tape an injury or stop a bleed.
At the completion of the course work, participants will take two tests and need an 80% or better pass rate to receive the Coaching Authorization Certificate from IHCC. Once participants pass and receive our certificate, they can complete their application for coaching authorization with the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners, completing all background check forms and submitting all the required fees at www.boee.iowa.gov/licauthorization/coaching-authorization.
Register online at https://indianhills.augusoft.net/index.cfm?method=ClassListing.ClassListingDisplay&int_category_id=8&int_sub_category_id=33&int_catalog_id=
The cost of the class is $390 per participant. Credit card payment is required in order to complete the registration.
