From the Principal


Davis Parents and Students,

The scheduling process for the 2021/2022 school year is underway.  This will be for all students: incoming 7th grade, current 7th and 8th grade, and 9th grade students that are either in person or in the Virtual Academy.   Schedules are due by April 1st.  Students are to schedule using the app found in Classlink and by using their powerschool account.  Completing an online schedule will serve as a placeholder into a class for these students.

Please read below for important information that relates to your student. 
-If your student applied for a UCS Specialty Program as an 8th grade student, please continue to fill out the schedule for Davis.
-If your student is planning on continuing in the Virtual Academy for the 2021/2022 school year, please continue to fill out the schedule for Davis.
-In both circumstances, once we learn of acceptances into those programs, we will be able to modify schedules accordingly.
-Virtual Academy signup for the 2021/2022 school year will tentatively open in May.
-If you have an incoming 7th grade student, click here for The Raider Way presentation.


We have followed the Student Scheduling 2021-2022 process:
• Monday, March 22nd during Student Support Time – Students viewed Unified Classroom access video.
• Tuesday, March 23rd during Student Support Time – Students viewed “How to enter course requests” video and grade specific curriculum video.
• Wednesday, March 24 during Student support Time – Students viewed videos describing electives and reach out to counselors with questions.  Students can then begin entering scheduling requests from home with parent input.
• Thursday and Friday, March 25th and 26th, during Student Support Time – Students were able to reach out to counselors with questions.

Videos can be found on Classlink as well as the secondary curriculum guide for parents to review course selections with their child. It may be a good idea to review the videos and the course descriptions ASAP with your child.
The elective descriptions video is on our Davis website, counselor page and linked in the newsletter. The course descriptions are assessable here: Click here for course descriptions

 As a reminder... 

Students should NOT be using their school issued laptop for personal use.  The TEAMS chat and calls features are to reach out to teachers and staff and to be only utilized during class meetings as well as any platform that acts as a communication tool.  Student can set up homework groups but it must be school related.  

The Davis Junior High Mission is dedicated to creating a successful partnership of staff, parents and community to prepare our students to be positively-contributing members of society, and productive and responsible citizens.  We promote understanding and respect for all people and strive to inspire our students to become knowledgeable, caring, self-directed and productive learners who readily meet the challenges of a diverse world and global economy.

Students must have their ID card on them at all times during the school day.   All students will receive an ID at the beginning of each school year. 
Please click on the Raider Review tab for all information, consequences, and more  with regards to the school ID requirement.
Replacement ID's are $5 and can be purchased in the main office at Davis.

UCS Vision

All children have the right to a rigorous, high-quality education which meets their individual needs. UCS will respect, encourage and empower each and every student to acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes to be successful, contributing members of a diverse community and global society.

UCS Mission

We are committed to exemplary teaching and learning in order for our students to be prepared for success in the 21st Century.
We will achieve this commitment by engaging the entire community to focus on each child's achievement, with the expectation that every student will pursue some type of post-high school educational endeavor.

Core Values

  • Every child can learn and achieve.
  • Parents and guardians are partners in the learning process.
  • Being “smart” can be achieved through persistence, hard work and effective effort.
  • Excellence is expected and celebrated.
  • Data is used to guide our decision-making.
  • All employees will exemplify ethical behavior; exhibit a strong work ethic; and continue to develop their leadership, performance and service skills.
  • Technology supports and enhances instruction, business operations, research and communications.
  • The Board of Education, district educators/staff, parents, community members and business leaders must collaborate and work as a team to enhance educational opportunities for student success.
