Early literacy builds the foundation for academic achievement.
Davis School District’s Family Literacy Nights help families support children’s reading and learning from the earliest years through elementary school. Families will participate in hands-on activities, learn practical strategies and choose four sessions tailored to their child’s age, grade and learning needs.
Sessions are designed for children ages 0–3, ages 3–5, kindergarten and first grade, and second and third grade. Sessions will be offered in English and Spanish, with interpretation available in additional languages.

When families have the tools to support literacy at home, they help children build skills that prepare them for future learning and success in school.

We hope lots of our Orchard Eagles participate! 🦅🎨✨
Our Little Eagles took part in the Statewide Read-A-Thon today. It was so fun to see all the fun ways they read their books - some flashlight reading, some desk fort reading, some partner reading - such creativity and fun!

Dr. Seuss day will now be on Monday, April 20th.
Everyone plays a role in helping children have healthy and positive childhoods.
Positive Childhood Experiences occur when children experience safe, stable nurturing relationships and environments.
Today wrapped it all up with our final game—students vs. community adults! A huge thank you to our DARE Officer, his NSL Police teammates, and our favorite head custodian, Mr. Doug, for joining in the fun.
It was a competitive and high-energy matchup between Orchard Elementary’s own Goofy Goblins and the adults’ team, the Wild Hogs. In the end, the Goofy Goblins came out on top with a 16–10 win!
Great job, Goofy Goblins, and way to go to all of our players for an awesome tournament!
America is turning 250 — and our students have something to say.
