Heads-up, parents! All K–6 students will be dismissed at 1:30 p.m. every Friday for early out.

Your Fridays just got a little more fun—so don’t forget to set those alarms and plan that early pick-up!

This time also gives our teachers space to collaborate, plan and strengthen instruction to support every student.

Bountiful High School recently hosted the annual Universal Closet Community Cloth My Exchange, where more than 2,000 individuals received clothing and essentials—free of charge. The event provided more than 6 tons of donated clothing.

Upon arrival, attendees were given 50-gallon bags and encouraged to take what they needed.

The exchange began years ago as a small South Davis community effort, but outgrew its original space. Bountiful High has hosted the event for the last two years, and this year it surpassed capacity in the school’s small gym.

Since 1963, Hill Field Elementary has served the families of Hill Air Force Base and surrounding areas. With a strong connection to the military, the school’s culture has long been shaped by patriotism, service and a deep sense of community.

These photos highlight just a few moments from Hill Field’s past—flag ceremonies, school events and gatherings.

Yesterday, Davis School District officially welcomed our incredible new educators with an orientation held at Farmington High School.

From a high-energy entrance with student leaders and the Farmington High drumline to a powerful plenary session with Superintendent Dr. Dan Linford, Board President Brigit Gerrard and veteran educators Allison Riddle and Becky Vervloet—this day was all about inspiration and preparation.

Educators connected in breakout sessions by grade level and subject, learned about essential district resources at the Discover Davis Expo Hall and enjoyed lunch as they began forming strong professional networks.

We're honored these passionate individuals chose to start their next chapter in Davis.

While most were still sleeping Friday morning, volunteers, teachers and administrators from across Davis School District gathered at three Kohl’s stores to make a difference.

Through the Davis Education Foundation’s annual Child Spree, 502 students in need received new clothes, shoes and school supplies—just in time for the new school year.

This event isn’t just about shopping; it’s about helping students feel prepared, valued and ready to learn.

Thank you to our incredible community of donors and sponsors—including America First Credit Union, Lifetime, Marathon Oil, Holy Cross Hospital Davis, Waste Management and many individuals—for helping us put every student first.
