School is back tomorrow, which means more students will be walking and crossing near our schools.
Drivers, please slow down in school zones, stay alert and watch carefully for students in and around crosswalks. Always yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk, and never pass a vehicle that has stopped for a pedestrian.
Students, use designated crosswalks, look both ways before crossing and make sure approaching vehicles have stopped before stepping into the street. Continue watching for traffic as you cross.
A few extra seconds of attention can help everyone get to school safely.
See the stripes. Slow down.

Leadership starts with a willingness to make a difference.
Syracuse Junior High hosted its first-ever Student Leadership Conference recently, bringing together student leaders from Student Government, Cheer, LIA, MAC, Hope Squad and Yearbook for a day of learning, connection and collaboration.
Students explored four key aspects of leadership: inclusion, action building, growth mindset and empathy. Through activities and discussions, they learned how these qualities can shape their own leadership and help them better support others.
Students also spent time with their organizations and advisers, reflecting on what they learned and beginning to turn those lessons into plans for the school year ahead.
A special day for developing student leaders who are ready to ACT — Action Changes Things — and make a positive impact at Syracuse Junior High.

Clinton Elementary students kicked off their day with a love of reading during the school’s Starry Night Read-A-Thon. With flashlights in hand, students checked in, grabbed a book and found a cozy spot to read under the stars.
The morning brought students and families together for a pancake breakfast while enjoying the adventure that comes with a good book. This special literacy event was made possible through funding from Utah Community Builders.
From the pages of a favorite story to new worlds waiting to be discovered, Clinton Elementary is helping students build a lifelong love of reading.

From a welcome by students and the Viewmont High School Drumline to remarks from Superintendent Dr. Dan Linford and Board President Brigit Gerrard, new educators were reminded that they are joining a community committed to helping them succeed.
They also connected with veteran educators, participated in content and grade-level sessions, and explored Discover Davis, where 18 district departments shared resources and support available to educators and their students.
Operational Excellence means preparing our people to do their best work. We are proud to welcome our newest educators and help them start the school year connected, supported and ready to make a difference.

Centennial Junior High student Isabelle is headed to the national stage.
Isabelle, who will be entering ninth grade this fall, has been named Utah's National Civics Bee state champion after advancing through regional and state competitions. Her essay was selected from nearly 300 submissions to qualify for the regional competition, and she was one of just 10 students to compete at the state finals.
After winning the regional competition at Weber State University and the state championship at Westminster University, Isabelle will represent Utah at the National Civics Bee Championship in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 13-14.
The National Civics Bee is an annual competition that encourages middle school students to explore civic engagement, strengthen their understanding of government and democracy, and develop ideas for making a positive impact in their communities. Students begin by submitting an essay identifying a community issue and proposing a solution before advancing through local, state and national competitions.
Congratulations, Isabelle! We wish you the very best as you represent Centennial Junior High, Davis School District and the state of Utah on the national stage.

Back-to-School Boot Camp: Mission #1 - Ready, Set, Roll!
School doesn't start until August 20, but our Transportation Team is already gearing up for a successful first day!
If you spot school buses around town over the next couple of weeks, don't worry, you haven't missed the first day of school. Our drivers are running practice routes, checking stops, timing, and safety details so everything is ready to go full throttle on Day One.
Think of it as boot camp for our buses.

Before returning to their own classrooms, students from across Davis School District spent part of their summer helping another student prepare for theirs.
Through the Davis Education Foundation's annual Child Spree, student volunteers joined community members, educators and district employees to shop for around 500 students across the district.
Each volunteer learned about a student’s favorite colors, interests and style before selecting new clothing and shoes just for them. What may look like a shopping trip is so much more—it is a reminder to students that their community sees them, supports them and believes in their success.
A special thank you to our sponsors—Marathon, America First Credit Union, Lifetime, Waste Management and Holy Cross Hospital Davis—and to every volunteer and donor who helped make this year's Child Spree possible.

Reading is always an adventure at Oak Hills Elementary.
This summer, Oak Hills Elementary turned reading into a community celebration with its "Camp Reads A Lot" Read-a-Thon, made possible through a grant from Utah Community Builders.
Students arrived in pajamas with their favorite books, blankets and stuffed animals, creating the perfect setting to spend two hours building strong reading habits.
Throughout the event, students enjoyed camp-themed snacks, tracked their progress every 30 minutes and earned raffle tickets for every 10 pages they read. By the end of the read-a-thon, they had read an incredible 2,341 pages, surpassing their goal of 2,000 pages.
Events like this help foster a love of reading while bringing families and the community together to support literacy.

Back in 2016, you may have been too busy playing Pokémon Go to look up from your phone and see the opening of Kay’s Creek Elementary. Somehow, it's already been 10 years. Time flies.
To celebrate the milestone, 700 students gathered to form the number 10 for a commemorative photo. The image reflects this year's theme, "10 Years. One Team. Infinite Impact!"
A huge shoutout goes to Principal Janice Bukey, who spent countless hours planning every student's placement before expertly organizing the entire photo on the big day.
Bukey says the absolute best part of the school community is the powerful partnership between dedicated educators, engaged families and ambitious students. Together, they have created a school community where every child is encouraged to grow and succeed.
As Kay’s Creek celebrates its first decade, the school is looking ahead to the next 10 years with a continued commitment to strong community connections, student success, innovation and kindness.
