Dear Davis County,
Please know that absences due to illness in our schools are creeping up. Please also remember that we have implemented a policy that will require students and staff to wear masks in buildings for a period of time when the absence due to illness percentage reaches 10% for 2 consecutive days.
Here are the current number of absences due to illness as compared to the 10% threshold that would trigger mask wearing in each building:
High School: Absent due to illness = 34, 10% threshold = 38
Middle School: Absent due to illness = 23, 10% threshold = 37
Elementary: Absent due to illness = 32, 10% threshold = 48
Please see the Davis County CSD's Administrative Policy on Mask Wearing in the attached letter sent to staff, students, and parents this past October.
Sincerely,
Dan Maeder, Superintendent

Hey DC Elementary Families!
In this month's Mental Health Minute we're beginning a mini series on media. There are some pretty crazy statistics on the amount of time families are spending viewing different forms of media.

DC Elementary Families,
If you are planning on taking your children after the Winter Concert tomorrow, please send a note with your child in the morning to help the office with the end of day tracking for all students. We appreciate your help in making sure we are up to date with all students after school plans.
Due to circumstances beyond our control, we will not have chocolate milk available through Tuesday, December 21. We hope to be re-stocked following Winter Break. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
DC Elementary Families! Don't forget that the K-4 Winter Concerts are tomorrow.
The elementary concerts will be livestreamed on the Davis County Community School Districts Facebook page for the convenience of those who are unable or choose not to attend in person.
SAVE THE DATE
Don't forget picture retakes are tomorrow!!!!
DC Elementary Parents!
Please make sure the office knows your child's after school plans for early dismissals if it differs from their normal after school routine. Our first early dismissal is this Thursday, November 11th!!!
SAVE THE DATE!!!
DC Elementary Families!
Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled for Monday, November 8th and Thursday, November 11th. You should have received an email will your login information earlier this week. If you did not receive this email please call the elementary office and we can help you login to your account and schedule your conferences.
Why should you go vote on November 2?
You can help Davis County students have new and improved structures and equipment to improve their learning environment.
By going to vote you can help our school stay in the State Secure an Advanced Vision for Education Fund or the SAVE Fund. This Fund helps schools pay for things such as LED lighting in the elementary and middle school, new weight room, multi-purpose room renovations, renovations to the support service building, and so much more.
In order for the school to continue getting SAVE Funds they need to keep the Revenue Purpose Statement or RPS. By keeping this RPS our district will be able to continue making schools better for learning and extracurricular activities.
Where do the SAVE Funds come from?
SAVE Funds come from sales tax money not property money so keeping SAVE Funds will not affect your taxes. Going to the polls on November 2 can allow our school to continue renovations in support of education for the children of Davis County.
