Friday, September 27, is our first Indian Day of the school year. This is a day for tutorials, state assessment remediation, and/or a requirement for students to complete missing classwork.
The district has designated the last Friday of four six-week grading periods this year as Indian Day. The schools will provide written notice to parents/guardians if their child will be required to attend, hours of attendance, and subject area. Students who do not require remediation or tutorials, or who have completed all classwork will not be required to attend school that day.
Indian Day will also be held November 1, February 14, and April 3.
Extra time is often needed to work with students who may be falling behind in work or require remediation. Indian Day will allow teachers to work with small groups of students to help improve their academic skills. If a child is assigned to attend, then attendance is mandatory.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your child’s teacher or the principal.

It’s pep rally time! Lots of cheering and spirited games!
Thanks to a Texas Workforce Solutions, Borderplex Education Grant, Fort Davis High School was able to begin a Robotics program for the 2018 - 2019 school year.
With this grant, we were able to purchase VEX Robotics Dual Control Starter Kits and VEX IQ Super Kits as well as the Competition Field Perimeter Kit.
We were able to initiate two classes with a total of seven students for the 2018-2019 school year and have had at least triple that number of students interested in these classes for this school year. In our pioneer classes, students were able to design, build, troubleshoot and then rebuild four robots. They took two of their robots to their first competition in Pecos, TX and managed to show very respectable places in the middle of the field.
These courses are so important because they allow students to have real “hands on” training in modern day skills. They have learned programming but they have also used engineering skills, problem solving skills, and collaborative skills they never knew they had. As a result of this course, they are now aware of a multitude of robotics related careers in medicine, engineering, entertainment, and education.
The FDHS Digital Media class published a book titled, Indians Throughout the Ages.
The book features all Fort Davis High School graduates from 1913 to 2019. If you are interested in seeing the book, one was donated to the Jeff Davis County Library. If you are interested in purchasing one, they sell for $50 each (plus $5 shipping and handling if you want it mailed) and can be purchased by contacting pscheier@fdisd.com or calling 432-426-4440.
