Davis School District thanks the many parents and community members who joined our recent Board and Parent Engagement Night to share input on the district’s new strategic plan.

Members of the Davis School District Board of Education welcomed families for an evening of conversation, collaboration and feedback. Following an open-house exhibit hall and keynote address, board members led small-group discussions designed to gather community perspectives on district priorities.

Parents and community members participated in guided breakout sessions, offering feedback through discussion, dot-mapping activities and digital input. These conversations will help inform the Board of Education as it continues developing a strategic plan that reflects the needs, values and goals of the Davis School District community.

We appreciate everyone who took the time to attend, share ideas and engage in shaping the future of our schools.

Stay informed during inclement weather!

Student safety is always the top priority when making school closure or delay decisions. Closures or delayed starts are determined in the early morning after reviewing road conditions, weather reports and forecasts across the entire district, as conditions can vary by area.

If a closure or two-hour delayed start is needed, families will be notified as early as possible by phone call, text and email. Updates are also shared on school websites and district social media channels.

Families may always choose to keep their student home if travel feels unsafe, and schools will support missed learning. When schools are open, they remain a safe, warm environment for students.

Bus routes may be delayed during inclement weather, and students should dress appropriately for current conditions.

For more information, visit the Inclement Weather Information and FAQs page: https://www.davis.k12.ut.us/o/dsd/page/inclement-weather-information-and-faqs

Lincoln Elementary’s Head Start classroom recently welcomed student volunteers from Amy Hibbert’s child development class at North Layton Junior High for a “Big Friend and a Book” activity.

About 30 junior high students read with preschoolers and played games they created from the stories, forming instant connections.

“It was magical,” said Davis School District Male Involvement/Program Specialist Brett Lund. “So cool to see the interaction between the big friends and little friends.”
