September is !

Literacy opens the door to opportunity. Strong reading and writing skills help students succeed in school, support lifelong learning and personal growth, and give us the tools to navigate everyday life.

Whether you’re picking up a book, sharing a story, practicing your writing, or helping a young reader discover the joy of learning, every page makes a difference. 📖

From the first 15 minutes of Transitional Kindergarten to an award-winning high school robotics team. 📚➡️🤖

State Superintendent Tony Thurmond visited Davis Joint USD yesterday, joining TK students as they began their very first day of school and touring a new early education facility at North Davis Elementary.

At Davis Senior High School, Citrus Circuits students showed off a robot they designed and built—and demonstrated the technical, leadership, teamwork and public speaking skills that go into competing at the highest levels.

Two campuses. Two very different moments in a student’s education. One look at what’s possible in California public schools.

Family engagement can make a difference from the first day of school to graduation. 🎒🎓

When schools welcome families, build strong relationships, and create meaningful opportunities to stay connected, students have a stronger team supporting their success.
