Davis County Elementary School

We (Davis County Schools, Wigwam Daycare and Preschool, Davis County Daycare, and Head Start) have initiated the Early Childhood Coalition to promote high-quality preschool opportunities for the young children in Davis County. Attending preschool is a great first-step in a child’s education. All children in our community are better prepared for Kindergarten after attending a high-quality preschool program. The Coalition is working together to be sure we give all 3-yr preschool-age children the opportunity for a high-quality care preschool program. Please remember your child must be 3 by Sept 15,2021 for this program. Please contact us so that we may get you the forms needed to start your child's registration for preschool by June 23rd. You may return your form to Wigwam Daycare in-person or by mailing to their address: 200 E locust Bloomfield, IA 52537. Contact Traci Weigand with questions. Joni Helton is also available in her absence.  Contact information:  Traci Weigand - P: 641-208-6714 or E: wieganddaycare@yahoo.com  Joni Helton - P: 641-208-5779 or E: jonie.helton@dcmustangs.com

Elementary Relay Update Due to several days of rainfall the K-2 stations and 3-6 field events have been cancelled. At this point in time the K-6 races on the track will continue as scheduled if the weather allows. Please continue to check FaceBook or the district’s website for any additional weather related updates that may occur tomorrow morning. As a reminder, should we unfortunately have to cancel all events for tomorrow due to weather, there is no scheduled rain date. Providing a rain date is not feasible due to the number of volunteers needed and scheduling. The safety of our students is always our first priority.
