Dear Parents/Guardians and Students:

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year at St. David Schools! We're excited to begin another year of learning, growth, and collaboration. Our dedicated and compassionate staff are committed to creating a welcoming and supportive environment where students thrive and families are valued partners in education. Together, we’ll continue building a strong, respectful school community focused on the success of every student.

The beginning of a new school year can be a stressful time for children, with new teachers, classmates, new routines etc... As a parent you can help by being excited about their first day of school. Show your interest in school by attending our “Open House” where you can show them their classroom, meet their teacher, walk around the school to locate their lunchroom, playground, restrooms etc. Visitors are always welcome at our school. When you arrive, remember to sign in at the office and obtain a visitor badge. We invite you to become an active member of the St. David school community. We offer many opportunities for parents to become involved in our school during the day by volunteering in the classroom, front office, library, cafeteria, playground, as well as by becoming an active member of the PTO/Booster Club and participating in our special events.

In order to ensure Academic Success at the highest level we can we are setting the following expectation:K-8 th Grade: Students are not to have their phones out during the school day. This not only includes classroom but also recess and lunch time. High School: Students are not to have their cell phones out during class at any time. This includes assemblies and presentations. They may have them out during lunch time. Helping us meet this expectation will assist in offering your student the best education possible.

Please also ensure regular school attendance. Attendance has a direct effect on academic achievement. Please assist your student in attending school regularly and being on time.

REMINDERS: Open House: Friday, August 1st, 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.: Please report to the High School Gym for a brief welcome and introduction of the new staff. A supply list for your student(s) classroom will be available at the Open House, on the district web page, and can also be found at Wal-Mart. First Day of School: Monday, August 4th for grades Kindergarten thru 12th grade.

We look forward to working together to ensure a successful year for your children.

Respectfully,

Andrew Brogan
