Davis Elementary Newsletter October 1, 2010
Nancy Beck, Head Elementary Principal
We’ve had an excellent beginning of the school year. Learning is well underway with students working hard to meet expectations. Please continue to see that your child is at school each day, ready to learn. Encourage your child to pay attention in class, work hard and complete homework each day. All students will succeed if we work together to make it happen!

The assembly was the kickoff for the read across Iowa activity planned for third grade students. Thank you Mrs. Hughes, for arranging for Marcus McIntosh to come read to our students. It was great!
