It's a season of lights and that's exactly what you'd find in Mrs. Kira VanWinkle's the last week or so. Her 8th Grade students were challenged to create and light 3 buildings using a different type of circuit for each building. What a fun demonstration of learning before winter break!
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.

On Friday morning, September 20, Davis County Schools was made aware of a threat from a high school student through a video posted on Tik Tok. The student who made the video was NOT at school today. Officers were called and responded within two minutes. All buildings went into a lockdown status. Shortly after, it was confirmed that the threat was not credible and the lockdown was lifted. We have emergency protocols in place that worked, we appreciate everyone’s swift response. All students and staff are safe. Thank you to our law enforcement for their immediate help.
Beginning Monday, September 16, Preschool - 5th Grade students will go back to a single lunch option. The lunch menu has been updated on the website. We appreciate your flexibilty as we navigate what works best for our students and staff!
