Dear DC Elementary Parents, Students, and Staff,
I'm happy to report that our absences due to illness at Davis County Elementary have dropped significantly in the past few days, enough so that we'll only be asking elementary students and staff who have recently tested positive for COVID to continue wearing their masks during their individual prescribed period. Thank you all for helping the district reduce exposure to illness in the elementary.
We are also seeing a decline in absences due to illness in middle school and high school. Here is today's absence due to illness percentage in each building.
Elementary = 4.5%
Middle School = 7.3% (Mask policy still in effect through February 8th)
High School = 5.6%
Please continue doing your best to help prevent the spread of illness here at Davis County CSD.
Sincerely,
Dan Maeder, Superintendent

Dear DC Middle School Parents & Students,
Please know that Davis County Middle School has exceeded 10% absences due to student illness for two consecutive days. As a result, the Davis County CSD Administrative Policy on Mask Wearing will be in effect at Davis County Middle School beginning tomorrow, January 26, 2022 and through February 8, 2022. The administrative policy is attached to this message and available on the district's website. Also please know that parents may seek an exemption for this requirement by completing the attached Student Mask Exemption Request form and returning it to the building office.
Please know that our goal is to reduce the risk of spread of illness throughout the district to help keep kids in school. While wearing a mask will not eliminate the risk of illness spread, wearing a mask can help reduce that risk. If you have any questions or concerns relating to this matter, please contact me directly at dan.maeder@dcmustangs.com.
Sincerely, Dan Maeder, Superintendent
