🐢🌊 Under the Sea—First Day of School Success!
🌊🐢
Bellwood Elementary had a turtle-y awesome first day of school to kick off the 2026–27 school year! 🐚🧜♀️🦀
Our dedicated staff has worked hard to prepare for the year and get things ready. It was so great to see our students back in the building and ready to begin our under the sea adventure. Today, students spent time reviewing routines and expectations and easing back into the rhythm of school—like true sea explorers! 🏫✨
Now it’s time to dive in and make it a great year, together! 🌊💙
#FirstDayofSchool #BellwoodElementary #UnderTheSea #BackToSchool #DiveIntoLearning 🐠
Welcome back, students! 🎉 Wishing everyone a great school year filled with new memories, new opportunities, and plenty of success!
And for the Class of 2027… it’s your final first day of high school! 🎓 Make the most of every moment. It’s going to go by faster than you think!
Have a great first day, everyone! Let’s make it a great year! 💙🏫

📚 Professional Learning Week at David City Public Schools!
David City Public Schools recently wrapped up a productive week filled with professional learning and development opportunities for our staff.
New teachers, certified staff, and all DCPS employees participated in a variety of trainings designed to strengthen their skills, expand their knowledge, and support student success.
A special highlight of the week came on Thursday, when our elementary teachers and paraprofessionals began a three-year journey with Nebraska WORDS (Workshop on Reading Development Strategies). The Nebraska WORDS project was developed by faculty at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in partnership with the Nebraska Department of Education.
This comprehensive professional learning opportunity is made possible for our staff through a Comprehensive Literacy State Development (CLSD) grant awarded to David City Public Schools.
We are excited to invest in the continued growth of our educators and look forward to seeing the positive impact this learning will have on our students!
