Dear Davis County Parents and Community,
Due to a recent increase in COVID related and other illness related staff absences over the past couple of days, the district will be shifting from in-person learning to virtual learning next Monday and Tuesday as we head into the holiday break. School will be held as normal tomorrow (Friday). A decision on activity practices and competitions during this same timeframe will be made tomorrow (Friday).
Please know that we do not take these decisions lightly because we know these decisions do create hardships for many of our families. Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely,
Dan Maeder - Superintendent

Middle School Concert Recording Days
Middle School music students will be recording their concert songs on the days below. Please have students look nice on those days since these recordings will be shared with family members. We have told the students to dress up like they would for "picture day". We will let parents and students know when the recordings are ready to view, it will probably take a couple of days to prepare them after recording. Have your child log into Mr. Gingerich's or Mrs. Cook's Google Classroom on their school device and they can show the recording to anyone who would normally attend the concert. The recordings cannot be posted to Facebook or YouTube due to copyright laws.
Recording Days:
Tuesday, Dec. 15th - 5th Grade Band and 7/8th Grade Band
Wednesday, Dec. 16th - 6th Grade Band and 6th Grade General Music
Thursday, Dec 17th - 7/8th Grade Chorus
Parents and Students, tomorrow, Friday December 4th, B&C School Pictures will be here to take pictures again for those students
who have missed the first 2 rounds. Students can pick up picture packets in the offices or parents can order on line at www.bcschoolpictures.com
Middle School Holiday Concert Will Be Virtual
The Middle School Holiday Concert originally scheduled for Dec. 8th has been cancelled. While band, choir, and general music are classes, we decided to follow Governor Reynolds's directive for no middle school activities and do our part to support not gathering large groups of people together at this time. The students will still be practicing and preparing recordings of their holiday performances to share with their family via their school device. We will let families know when that is ready for you to enjoy. It was a very difficult decision and we appreciate everyone's understanding during these unprecedented times.
Ms. Orwig has officially announced the DCMS Spring Play!

Teachers have communicated the specifics for students within this plan.
Davis County Schools will have a 3rd Round of Picture retakes on the morning of December 4th for anyone that missed the first 2 sessions.
Last night, the DCCSD Board of Directors approved the following changes to the school schedule:
Monday (11/23) and Tuesday (11/24) will be required virtual learning days. Students will NOT attend school in person on these days. Please be watching for more specific instructions for these days being sent from each building later this week. Please visit our website or Facebook to fill out the lunch survey if you would like to have meals delivered on Monday and Tuesday.
Starting Monday (11/30), the district will have two hour late starts every Monday that students are scheduled to be in school. This means that November 30, December 7, and December 21, school will start at 10:15. Transportation schedules will be adjusted. December 14 will remain a professional development day and no students will attend. This plan will be in place through the end of February. The district will re-evaluate the situation mid-February and determine whether or not to continue the late starts into the spring.
The situation in our state is changing very rapidly. If the district needs to change the delivery format of instruction, please know that we will send messages via mass email/text/phone calls, post announcements on the district website, and post announcements on the district Facebook page.
Please use this form to sign up for meals for Monday, November 23 and Tuesday, November 24.
