Did you know that Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) affects 1 in 14 people? It is one of the most prevalent disabilities in the Davis School District, yet often goes unnoticed because it is not linked to autism, hearing loss or intellectual disability.

DLD can make understanding and using language a daily challenge:

- Young children may miss language milestones.
- School-aged children can struggle with vocabulary and complex sentences.
- Adults may find it hard to follow directions or express their ideas.

DLD is a lifelong disorder, but schools throughout the Davis District are committed to helping students thrive. Through the work of speech-language pathologists and special educators, students receive interventions and support, including:

- Universal Language Screenings
- CKLA/ELA Curriculums
- Speech/Language Services
- Resource Special Education Services
- Preschool Classrooms
- Academic Social Communication Classrooms
- Essential Elements Classrooms
- …and so much more!

Show your support on October 15—DLD Awareness Day—by wearing purple or gold.

Congratulations to Viewmont High’s Corver Barnes for taking third place in the 5A Boys State Golf Tournament. Way to represent the Vikings with skill and sportsmanship.

Science came to life at Wasatch Elementary.

Students explored chemistry through a hands-on “Reaction Time” lab, learning about solids, liquids and gases—and how to tell the difference between physical and chemical changes.

Students made hypotheses, tested reactions and saw science in action!

Role reversal day at Bluff Ridge Elementary School.

Students and teachers had a blast during “Dress Like a Teacher Day”—with students dressing up like their favorite teachers and teachers showing up in their best “student” gear. From spirit wear to creative costumes, the day was filled with laughter and school pride!

UDOT taught Clinton Elementary students key safety tips as construction begins on 1800 North. Students even joined a safety relay with @ClintonCityPD! Watch here: https://youtube.com/shorts/YJe5zgIKrfI?feature=share

It’s great to be in school!

Did you know missing just two days a month can add up to a month of lost learning by the end of the year? Regular attendance matters—academically, socially and emotionally.

That’s why Davis School District is proud to support Every Day Counts, Utah’s statewide attendance awareness campaign. Whether you’re a parent, student or teacher, we all play a role in building strong attendance habits.

Let’s lead by example! Show up, stay engaged and help students succeed. Together, we can make sure Every Day Counts.

Mrs. Westwood’s 5th graders at Wasatch Elementary had a wonderful time celebrating Constitution Month.

Students learned about the U.S. Constitution—why it matters and how it has shaped our nation’s history. To show their learning, they created Constitution lapbooks filled with facts, key vocabulary and original illustrations.

Their excitement was contagious, and they couldn’t wait to share their work. Go Eagles!

This Constitution Month, DSD students give voice to the Preamble—living proof that the promise of “a more perfect Union” is carried forward by the next generation.

Recently, Centennial Junior High’s student government found a creative way to celebrate Constitution Day. During lunch, students enjoyed a photo booth complete with props and a frame designed by student leaders. Pictures will be displayed in the school to highlight the day.

To keep the learning going, students also shared Founding Father “Fun Facts” during announcements. What a fun and educational way to honor the Constitution and its lasting impact.

One hundred and twenty third graders from Kay’s Creek Elementary saw messes around their school and decided not to leave the job for someone else. Armed with rakes, leaf blowers and their own hands, the students spent a little time cleaning up the school grounds.

Happy IT Professionals Day.
Thank you to our incredible IT team for keeping classrooms connected and technology running smoothly across Davis School District.

Each month, a select group of students are invited to an event called Soup with the Supe. These students, nominated by their principals, are recognized for their outstanding contributions and positive impact on their respective schools.

Congratulations to the May honorees! Your dedication and commitment to excellence make you true representatives of our district. We are incredibly proud of your accomplishments.

Teaching your children life lessons isn’t easy. Your words might just go in one ear and out the other. Have you ever tried using a fable to get your message across? Fables are more than cute stories to pass the time — they carry meaning and purpose, teaching lessons to the next generation.

At Farmington Elementary, first grade students recently put their knowledge of classic fables to the test in a unique event called the Fable Olympics. The activity served as the culmination of their Core Knowledge Language Arts unit, “Fables and Stories.” Students rotated through six games, each tied to a different tale and its moral.

“We’ve reached it, we’ve talked about it and now we’re having the activity,” First Grade Teacher Jennie Tueller said. “It’s a fun way to culminate because it’s active. Kids love active.”

From balancing a milk pail on their heads to reenacting “The Boy Who Cried Wolf,” students played games based off of stories they had studied in class. They learned lessons from well-known tales such as “The Golden Goose,” which warns against greed, and “The Fox and the Grapes,” which gave rise to the phrase “sour grapes.” Other activities introduced students to less familiar stories, including “The Little Half Chick,” where the selfish main character is transformed into a weathervane.

“I think it’s important for them to know those phrases, like ‘don’t cry wolf,’” Tueller said. “They’re really going to remember these because they haven’t just heard them. They’ve actually acted them out.”

Tueller thinks experience helps students not only remember the stories but also understand the common phrases and morals that carry into adulthood.

King Elementary’s SPIRIT Night was a roaring success. Families came together for food, games, art, face painting, bracelet making, a photo booth and even a chance to snap a picture with a Corvette.

With the theme “4 Houses, 1 Family,” students, staff and families built connections, celebrated healthy competition and strengthened the King community.
