District announces change to fall opening schedule

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.
