Ms. Johnson and Ms. Swinyard joined several other volunteers at the annual District Child Spree event, sponsored by the DSD Foundation. In partnership with Kohl's, the event helps provide students with the clothing and school essentials they need to start the new school year with confidence and the tools for success.

Our summer camp students went on an adventure! 🐠🌊🐢 They had an unforgettable day exploring the Living Planet Aquarium! From colorful fish and playful penguins to fascinating reptiles and majestic sharks, they learned about animals from around the world and the unique habitats they call home. 🦈🐧🐍 Hands-on learning outside the classroom helps spark curiosity and creates lasting memories. What a fun way to discover the wonders of our planet! 💙🌎

Our Schools, Our Communities.

This summer, we're sharing some of the programs, traditions and experiences that help make Davis School District schools unique.

Today we're featuring King Elementary.

The adventures continue long after the school year ends at King Elementary. Last summer, staff members take their classroom "gators" along on their travels, sharing where they go and bringing a little King Elementary spirit wherever their adventures take them.

Some of our amazing staff had the opportunity to attend the Show Up for Utah Teachers Conference hosted by Abby Cox! 🌟 Throughout the conference, they participated in inspiring sessions focused on finding their focus, reflecting on their teaching practices, and identifying meaningful ways to grow in their classrooms. We love seeing our educators invest in their professional learning and bring back fresh ideas, new strategies, and renewed inspiration to benefit our students. We can't wait to see these ideas come to life in their classrooms! 🍎📚

🇺🇸 In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary this summer, Mrs. Morrell encouraged her 4th grade students to participate in a national contest by creating artwork or writing an essay answering the question, “What America Means to Me.” Five students accepted the challenge and submitted original drawings showcasing their creativity and patriotism. We’re so proud of their willingness to share their talents and represent our school! ❤️🤍💙 #KingLions #America250

During the Florida Summer Conference, Group 3 of our teaching staff experienced the High Reliability Schools framework firsthand. They returned with expanded knowledge, refined skills, and a stronger commitment to doing the "right" work that has the greatest impact on student learning. #ExpandingourROAR #CouragetoLearn #KingElementary

Our Summer Kinder Camp was a wonderful way to kick off the journey to kindergarten! ☀️📚 This week, incoming kindergarteners who were able to participate joined us for a two-day camp filled with learning, exploration, and fun. Students got a head start on some of the activities they'll enjoy during the school year, including creating with Play-Doh, building with blocks, painting, and using markers. Campers learned about our daily morning meetings, listened to engaging read-aloud stories, met their kindergarten teachers, and even had the chance to make connections with some of their future classmates. We loved getting to know these future students and can't wait to welcome them back for an amazing kindergarten year! ❤️🍎✨

Our summer school students had an amazing opportunity this year! 🏊☀️ Thanks to funding provided by the Davis School District School Board, our students enjoyed two weeks of swim lessons at Layton Surf n' Swim. During their lessons, they learned valuable swimming skills, water safety techniques, and gained confidence in the water. A huge thank you to the instructors and staff at Layton Surf n' Swim for sharing their time, expertise, and enthusiasm with our students. We are so grateful for this partnership and for helping our kids build skills that can last a lifetime! 💙🌊 #SummerSchool #SwimLessons #WaterSafety #DavisSchoolDistrict #LearningBeyondTheClassroom
