As forecasts call for snow

As forecasts call for snow, the Davis School District reminds parents about procedures the district will use when it considers closing school for inclement weather.

Schools will typically remain open on scheduled school days unless there is extreme weather.

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. Information will not be sent out if the decision is to hold school.

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. See Weather FAQs for more information.

Personalized learning prepares students for future

By Superintendent Reid Newey

“Personalized Learning,” is a term used frequently by educators to describe a method of student and adult learning.

It is instruction that considers every individual student’s learning pace, place that learning will occur and gives some degree of student choice of curriculum. In Davis District we have made a deliberate effort to establish a more personalized approach to student learning.  There are several key areas of focus:

  1. One-to-One resources — The decision was made two years ago to put into place a three-year plan of making sure that every student had computer access at all times during their learning experience. We will complete that plan by the 2019-20 school year. Some schools may opt for a “take home” model, but that model will be a school-based decision.
