March 2010
Today we stand ready to celebrate the latest addition to the DHS campus - a fully modernized all-weather 8 lane track. On Sunday, March 7 from
9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., I invite you to join the Blue & White's FUND RUN. With races and fun planned for all age groups, it is a great opportunity to take a look and even try out the new track. Please visit www.dhsblueandwhite.org for details on the day's events.
Visit District Dollars
Thank you to those who have taken the time to learn more about the district's budget situation by visiting District Dollars. We welcome your questions and feedback. Commonly asked questions and answers are posted at Your Budget Questions Answered (see the link below).
Attendance is Important
The district loses about $40 for each day a student is absent. If your family will be traveling for more than five consecutive school days, please consider requesting an independent study contract. This allows your student to keep up with school work and the district to receive daily funding on their behalf.
If your child attends elementary school, request a contract in the school office. To obtain an independent study contract for secondary students, contact the School for Independent Study at 757-5333.
STAR Testing Window April 19-May 7
All public school districts in California have been mandated to participate each spring in the California Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program that assesses all students in grades 2 through 11. This year, the testing window for grade 2-11 students in core curricular areas is April 19 - May 7. Your child's school will notify you of any changes in the daily schedule. Additionally, there will be a writing assessment for students in grade 7 on March 3 (with make-ups occurring March 4) and the writing component of the Early Assessment Program will be offered on March 3 for high school juniors. As always, we ask your assistance in making sure your children are in school, on time, rested and having eaten a good breakfast.
Thank you for your partnership in educating the public school students of Davis.
Respectfully,
Dr. James Hammond
