DOLPHIN SPLASH PRINCIPAL'S NEWSLETTER
October 8, 2025
Dear Davis Families,
The end of the first nine weeks of school is fast approaching, and it's hard to believe how quickly the school year is flying by! Our students have been working hard, and it's exciting to see their growth and accomplishments already. There are so many wonderful things happening around our school, and we’re looking forward to a strong finish to this first quarter.
AISD CONSOLIDATIONS & BOUNDARY CHANGES
As you know, AISD released the Draft Consolidation and Boundary Plan on Friday. Within this plan, there is a very small boundary change for Davis that would not impact any current students. For more details about the proposed changes across the district and to access the draft plan, visit https://www.austinisd.org/consolidate. AISD will be hosting four virtual open houses (https://www.austinisd.org/consolidate/meetings) to discuss the preliminary school consolidation plans:
