With this virus holding a grip on many of us, it has made the Danville Community School District take a look on how we need to deliver services to ALL our students. Many reports express the concern of this reoccurring in the future with the possibility of more closures.
Through our Technology Coordinator, Lucas Gourley, the District has developed a survey concerning high quality internet in each of our student's homes not just having a "hot spot" location available.
We are asking each household with a student or students to please fill out the survey linked at the bottom or email your responses to connectivity@danvillecsd.org.
Connectivity in rural Iowa is a major issue of the inequality we face not only in education but in all walks of life. Over these past months we have seen families needing to work from home and at the same time try to provide online education for their students. This is an issue that needs to be addressed by our state and local governments, and not from any local school district.
Thank you for your assistance in this project and always "Go Bears".
Yours in education,
Dr. Ward, Superintendent
Lucas Gourley, Technology Coordinator

The Danville Community School District will be closed through April 10th, with our first day back on Monday, April 13th. The Iowa Athletic Union and Association has suspended all practices and no coaches contact until the 13th. This four week closure could be extended if circumstances warrant.
During this time of anxiety and uncertainty we want to thank you for working with us as we navigate this health crisis. Tomorrow our teaching staff will be working on an education plan for all students in the Danville CSD. We will schedule times that this information, either hardcopies or online access will be available. Also, for those students that need to pick up computers, times will be set-a-side for that. If you have questions concerning the education process, direct those to the building principal. All other questions can be directed to me directly at Thomas.ward@danvillecsd.org or 319-392-4223 Ex 309.
Abby Tuttle, Food Service Director, is working on a plan to get bag breakfast/lunches out to those students requesting them.

If you would like to be counted in this please call the Elementary Office at 319-392-4221.
