Letter from Mrs. Jessen  Aug 21, 2020

The Davis School District announced today that school will open with an alternative schedule for all students due to the prevalence of COVID-19 cases in our community.  

The alternate-day, hybrid (in person/remote) learning model will be as follows:

  • Students whose last name begins with A-K will attend school in-person on Mondays and Wednesdays with remote at-home learning on Tuesdays and Thursdays .
  • Students whose last name begins with L-Z will attend school in-person on Tuesdays and Thursdays with remote at-home learning on Mondays and Wednesdays.
  • Fridays will be at-home remote learning days for all students with teachers working from the school site to provide remote instruction.
  • In junior highs and high schools on a block (A/B Day) schedule, A-day classes will be repeated on Monday and Tuesday for the two groups of students. B-day classes will be repeated on Wednesday and Thursday for the two groups of students on subsequent days. Fridays will be combined A/B days.
  • If students in the same household have different last names, a group assignment will be applied to all students based on last name of the oldest student in the household.

In a related note, the school district will continue to share information with you as it comes available and utilize the COVID-19 webpage as a way to provide additional resources.

  • The first day of school for the 2020-21 school year is August 25th.  We will have an open house, prior to school starting, for students to visit with their teachers from this year and also meet their new teachers for the new school year.  You will receive more information on that in August.  

  • Thank you for your flexibility and support this school year.  We have certainly made some interesting memories and learned a lot about technology and lesson

BUS LOOP:  We are VERY concerned about the safety of our students aways...but we are having recurring problems in the west bus zone.  A REMINDER THAT THE BUS LOOP ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING IS FOR BUSES ONLY.  THIS IS NOT A PICKUP AREA.  PLEASE DO NOT DIRECT YOU STUDENT TO RUN ACROSS THE BUS AREA TO ACCESS THEIR CARS.  THE BUSES ARE TALL AND ABILITY TO SEE A SMALL CHILD WHO MIGHT BE RUNNING NEXT TO THE BUS IS VERY HARD.

 

CLOSING SCHOOLS FOR INCLEMENT WEATHER

The Davis School District reminds parents about procedures the district will use when it considers closing schools for inclement weather. The decision to close schools actually occurs in the early-morning hours when district snow plow drivers are out attempting to clear parking lots before students arrive at school. When plow drivers think conditions are bad, they make calls to the district's maintenance director, transportation director and facilities administrator, who then contact an assistant superintendent and superintendent of schools.

That group then reviews road and weather reports provided by the local media, law enforcement and state highway representatives, and take into account student and employee safety, busing and security. If the superintendent decides to close schools, that decision will be made as early as possible and before school buses hit the roadways.

In the event of a closure, the district will post information on Twitter and Facebook. Parents and guardians will also be notified through a call out and email. Parents who opted in to receive text messages will also receive a text. Additionally, the information will posted to all school webpages. Area radio and TV stations will be notified to spread the word that schools are closed. The stations will only be notified when schools close. They will not be contacted when schools remain open.

The Davis School District recognizes that schools are a public service. Many rely on schools remaining open and serving as a safe haven for children. The district recognizes that many students may be left home without adult supervision as some parents do not have the luxury of choosing to stay home. Closures, due to snow, are rare.

If school closes because of weather, the school day, by state law, must be made up. Parents are also reminded that they may keep their student at home anytime they feel it is unsafe for their student to travel to school. Arrangements will then need to be made with the teacher for makeup work.

TOLMAN "HOUSES"

Tolman Elementary is divided into four different "houses".  These four groups meet together once a month to have different activities.

  The “Houses” are:
1.       Black – Altruismo:  unselfish regard for or devotion to the welfare of others
2.       Red – Amistade:  Spanish, meaning friendship
3.       Green – Isibindi:  Zulu, it’s first meaning is ‘courage’ or ‘boldness’
4.       Blue – Reveur:  French, meaning dreamer

We are having “House” activities once a month.  These activities are fun and teach a social skill.  Ask your child about their “House” and the fun activities. 

Please encourage your students to wear their "house shirt" on the Second Friday of each month!  If they don't have a "house shirt", they can  wear their "house" color.
