Dear Davis County,
At 3:41 today the school district received a phone call stating that an elementary student who was supposed to be picked up at school was not in the pick up line. The elementary office immediately contacted school personnel supervising after-school pick up in attempt to identify the whereabouts of the student. Law enforcement officials were notified around the same time and immediately began the search for the child. During this process, staff were interviewed by law enforcement with the support of the district. At 4:58 the district received notification that the child had ridden the 10-15 transit bus and arrived home safely instead of being picked up at school. The district is in process of reviewing this incident and our after school pick up procedures to ensure the safety and well-being of all Davis County students. We are thankful that this student is home safe and are also thankful for the immediate response of law enforcement and everyone’s cooperation to find the whereabouts of this child.
Sincerely,
Dan Maeder, Superintendent

Snuggle up with some hot coco and watch a movie with your child over the winter break!
This is a great way to spend quality time with your child and work in a casual discussion about what the character is feeling, ask your child if they can relate to the character, or maybe share how you relate to the character. There are a lot of great films specific to Middle School that would prompt excellent discussion!
Movie Suggestions --> Discussion Topics
"Inside Out" prompts to discuss depression.
"Up" prompts to discuss grief.
"Finding Nemo" prompts to discuss anxiety.
"Coco" prompts to discuss dementia.
"Eighth Grade" prompts to discuss modern day middle school, emotional changes and friendships.
Have a wonderful and safe Holiday everyone!

DCMS 8th graders participated in a "Book Tasting" this week in Mrs. Taylor's Language Arts class!
Mrs.Taylor expanded her students palates by providing books to sample. A book tasting is a chance to expose students to different genres, authors and get them engaged and excited about reading. Mrs.Taylor, kicked it up a notch, and set the mood with table cloths and drinks! Such a creative and engaging idea Mrs.Taylor.
Thank you for introducing our students to books and authors they may have otherwise, overlooked.
