Parents may also pay the $15 materials/supply fee during Open House/Meet the Teacher.
The first day for students is Wednesday, August 7. This will be a full day. “The DES administration, faculty, and staff are excited about our students’ return to Davidson Elementary where we will ‘Decide Everyday to Succeed’,” stated Dr. Gary
“Parents of Kindergarten students may walk their students to their classrooms (if necessary) from Wednesday, August 7 through Wednesday, August 14. Please stop by the front office before proceeding to the classroom with your child. We will be asking parents to leave picture identification at the front office. This is a new procedure for DES to help ensure the safety of our students,” concluded Dr. Gary.
