Dear Davis Families,

There were many highlights for Davis students last week. 1st and 4th grade students enjoyed their first field trip of the year. Davis represented at the Anderson HS homecoming parade, with a beautiful Davis float full of many students and lots of families watching the parade. Our week ended with a spectacular assembly with David ‘Record Breaker’ Rush for all K-5th grade students. He delivered a very important message to students about the importance of growth mindset, setting goals (both in and out of school), and showing grit and perseverance while working to achieve them, all while entertaining everyone with super impressive juggling feats. Many thanks to Abby White and Closinglock for sponsoring his visit and providing this opportunity for our students! 

Principal Coffee: Davis Report Cards- Wednesday, 7:45-8:15am

I hope to see many of you at the Principal Coffee tomorrow morning! I’m going to share information about Davis report cards and provide details about grading practices at all grade levels. I’ll include a review and explanation of information on this flyer: https://www.canva.com/design/DAGRC_M0dYg/Il76uinMnf3rq3ZFxcR3UQ/edit?utm_content=DAGRC_M0dYg&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton. 

Please note that the time for this session has been shortened to 30 minutes.

Accessing Your Student’s Report Card Online

First nine-weeks report cards are live and accessible to all parents. As a reminder, we will not be sending home paper report cards any longer, so parents must access them online. Visit the AISD Parent Portal and click on Parent Self Serve to view your student’s report card.
