Happy Holidays from the Mustang family to yours! We wish you a joyful winter break with a chance to rest and relax. Can you guess who is who from our district leadership team!?
We spotlight Jeremy White this week! He is now a professor at Iowa State University.
We just wanted to remind you about sharing your input about desired skills and characteristics for our next Davis County / Moulton-Udell CSDs Shared Superintendent. We have contracted with Grundmeyer Leader Services to assist us with the search; step one of the process is to elicit input from district patrons via a Stakeholder Survey. If you have not yet done so, please complete the survey as soon as possible. If you already have completed the survey, thank you (complete it only once per person). Enclosed is a flyer about the Stakeholder Survey, as well as the link to the actual survey. If you prefer, the direct link to the survey is below; the survey closes December 20. Thank you for providing input to the Boards of Education in moving forward with this most important hire.

It's a Q and U wedding party in Kindergarten! This was a special ceremony because q and u are always together in words. Students took part as the q(bride) and u(groom), as well as the groomsmen and bridesmaids and Principal Steffen was our officiant! They also had a reception after the wedding! Thanks to our creative Kindergarten staff, q and u will hopefully be remembered together forever!
