Nan Gray Davis has water bottle filling stations located throughout campus. Students are encouraged to bring a refillable water bottle to campus each day. However, to protect all electronic and student devices, water bottles must have a screw-top lid and may not have a straw. Water bottles may only contain water; no other liquids may be inside students’ water bottles.

Parents, we moved all students to the hallway when our school was under a tornado warning this morning. The students did a great job following directions and remaining quiet. The tornado warning has passed and all students are back in class at this time. We will continue to monitor the weather and react as needed. You can rest assured that your students are safe while at our school!
Our school library will be closing this Friday, May 8, to complete the inventory for the end of the school year. We need all library books returned to the library by Friday. Parents, please have students check at home for any school library books.
