FACE TO FACE & VIRTUAL STUDENTS
The following communication was sent out recently to all parents in the district.
Please make note of the deadline for making changes for Face-to-Face
or Virtual instruction.
Dear DCS Families:
As our second semester grows near, we are kindly asking parents who are interested
in switching their student from online to Face-to-Face instruction or vice versa when the second
semester begins February 1 and have not yet completed our survey, to please do so by 4
p.m. Monday, January 18. As you can imagine, being the second largest school district in Gene-
see County, we need some time to devote to the scheduling process. This is especially true at
the secondary levels where students have multiple classes during the day.
We also understand that this may be a difficult decision for some of our parents. If you choose
to request a change in your student's mode of instruction after Monday, January 18, we will
place his/her name on a wait list and try to accommodate the switch if an opening in the Face-
to-Face or Online mode of instruction becomes available.
Please note that the current daily schedules at each of our school buildings will not be changing
at this time. Face-to-Face students in grades 7-12 will continue to have two hours of online
courses. Davison High School Face-to-Face students will continue to attend classes from 9:55
a.m. to 2:09 p.m. and the Davison Middle School Face-to-Face schedule will remain 9:41 a.m.
to 1:55 p.m.
The link to our survey is below. If you have more than one child, please complete a survey for
each child you wish to change his/her status.
Please click on this link to begin survey: https://forms.gle/WCtBKRVHrKhwEDE46
Thank you for your continued support.

11Genesee County Prevention Coalition
Youth Advisory Board
This is in regards to a new youth engagement collaboration forming as part of the Drug
Free Communities grant with the Genesee County Prevention Coalition. As a
substance abuse prevention coalition, they focus on reducing risk factors as well as
promoting protective factors in our area youth. The GCPC has developed an initiative
that works to bring together a diverse group of high school aged leaders ages 14-19
years from across Genesee County as consultants for promoting substance abuse
prevention in the county.
The Youth Advisory Board (YAB) is a body of young people that will convene on
behalf of the Genesee County Prevention Coalition (GCPC) to inform and advise
communication strategies that directly impact their peers around substance use.
YAB members will be recruited from a wide variety of organizations and schools
throughout Genesee County. The diverse perspectives provided by YAB members
will prove invaluable for GCPC’s understanding on how to promote healthy
choices among Genesee County youth.
If you are interested in being a part of this group, please visit this link for more
information and the application.
