CONSOLIDATION AND REALIGNMENT OF CERTAIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS

Dear parents and guardians, 

Re: Invitation to participate in School Boundary Study for a new elementary and junior high school in West Point. 

We hope this letter finds you and your family well. We are thrilled to share exciting news about the future junior high and elementary schools coming to your area. Both schools are under construction in West Point, with the elementary school set to open its doors in the fall of 2024 and the junior high school scheduled to open in the fall of 2025. 

In preparation for the opening of these new schools, we are embarking on a comprehensive School BoundaryStudy to determine the school attendance zones for the new schools. The primary goals of this study are to ensure all students have access to high-quality education, adequate resources, and a nurturing learning environment.  

We understand changes to school boundaries have a significant impact on families. Our utmost priority is to make well-informed and thoughtful decisions. Your involvement in this process is vital, and we invite you to share your valuable input.  

We have organized a variety of ways for you to contribute: 

1.     Website and Email Feedback: We have built a website specifically for the boundary study. By clicking on the maps displayed on the site, you can enter your address and see the proposed tentative boundary in which your family resides. The website is: https://www.davis.k12.ut.us/district/boundary-study/map-proposal 

After studying the maps and the tentative proposed boundaries, share your thoughts via email. Your emails will be reviewed by the committee and considered as part of the study. Please send those to boundarystudy@dsdmail.net 

2.     Community Council Meetings: These meetings will be held at each school in the boundary study area. Those schools include Legacy, Sunset, Syracuse and West Point junior highs, as well as Buffalo Point, Clinton, Doxey, Fremont, Lakeside, Parkside, Sunset, West Clinton and West Point elementaries. Those will be held prior to Oct. 1. School principals will share the finalized dates and times through their regular school communication methods.   

3.     Boundary Open House: This will be held Wednesday, Sept. 27, from 6-8 p.m., location yet to be finalized. This event will provide an opportunity to view all tentatively proposed boundaries and talk with school principals and members of the district boundary study group. Attendees will also be able to share thoughts and preferences. There will be no formal presentation during the open house.  

4.     School Board Meetings: The Board of Education of the Davis School District will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, Oct. 17, to specifically discuss the boundary study. Public comment will be available to those interested in addressing concerns and sharing their thoughts with board members. Board members will also consider the proposal during their Tuesday, Nov. 7 and Tuesday, Dec. 5 board meetings.  

In addition, one of the options also being considered is the possible consolidation of Doxey, Fremont and Sunset elementary schools into two buildings. Should this option be implemented, students from Fremont Elementary would be assigned to nearby Sunset Elementary School, and as a result, some students from Sunset Elementary would find a new home at nearby Doxey Elementary School. Students currently attending Fremont and Sunset who live north of 1800 North would attend Sunset, and students currently attending Sunset and Doxey who live south of 1800 North would attend Doxey.   

We emphasize that this potential change would only affect students who currently attend Doxey, Fremont and Sunset elementary schools.  

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at boundarystudy@dsdmail.net 

Your involvement and collaboration are invaluable to us, and we remain dedicated to creating the best possible educational experience for all our students. 

Thank you for your continued support, 

Davis School District Boundary Study Work Group
