Thank you to the many families that were able to attend our fall ELAC (English Language Advisory Committee) meeting this past week. We look forward to continuing to collaborate wtih you as we move your student towards the superpower of being bilingual!

Do you know a student, staff member, or member of the Korematsu community that exhibits the core values of the Davis school district? The nominations for this fall’s “Values in Action” award are now open! Last year, several members of the coyote pack were recognized for their committment to our vision. Let’s keep the recognition going with some new nominations!

Don’t forget picture day is next Friday! Paper copies of order forms were sent home with your student. You can also order online at mydorian.com.
