Board votes to transition to four days of in-person instruction

Elementary school students in the Davis School District will transition from two-days-a-week face-to-face instruction to four days a week beginning Monday, Sept. 28.

Junior high and high school students will make a similar transition beginning Monday, Oct. 5.

That transition is the result of a recent unanimous vote by the Board of Education to increase the amount of time students are in the classroom. 

That face-to-face instruction will take place Monday through Thursday, with Fridays being a remote learning day for all students. 

School board members, along with the district superintendency, recognize the significant efforts made by all to begin the school year in the district’s current hybrid model and realize the continued strain of the COVID-19 health crisis on students, families and school and district personnel. They also remain committed to the health and well-being of our staff and students.

Phase 2 of the recently adopted plan targets a return to a five-day-a-week normal schedule school at the beginning of second semester on Jan. 20, 2021.

District opens two new schools

The district celebrated the opening of two new elementary schools this fall. Sunburst Elementary, located at 2504 West Sunburst Drive in Layton, was built to accommodate continued growth in the west Layton area. Sunburst Elementary is the last school built using funds from the 2015 voter-approved building improvement and construction bond. 

The new building includes 32 classrooms, a multi-purpose room, dining room/commons area, media center and a maker space. It also contains a training room to support the Teacher Academy program at the school, allowing student teachers to participate in classroom learning and training on site. 

West Bountiful Elementary, located at 500 N. 800 West in West Bountiful, has been part of the Davis School District since 1955, but the older building had issues with rusted wall panels, leaky windows and inadequate mechanical systems. The old school was demolished and the new school rebuilt on the same site, thanks to funds from the 2015 voter-approved building improvement and construction bond. 

Classroom spaces are clustered around multi-grade learning communities. Each opens onto a flexible, central collaboration space that will be used for larger group activities. Each community has its own unique branding and color scheme.
