Hillsborough County Tax Collector's Office Saturday License Services

Davidsen Middle School continues to communicate with the Hillsborough County Public Works to streamline the flow of traffic to and from our school. Yesterday, traffic engineers monitored the Montague/Linebaugh intersection and adjusted the traffic signal to further improve timing. The goal is to create a balance on Linebaugh that moves the traffic with the best flow possible in both directions during the busy pick up and drop off times.  A note to drivers: The sensor at the intersection will cause the light to cycle the signal if there is a significant gap between vehicles for the left turn arrow. Traffic engineers ask that drivers stay attentive at the light and keep up with the vehicle directly ahead of them when turning left to minimize these gaps. We thank everyone for your assistance in streamlining the traffic flow in our community's school zones.

Davidsen students take PM1 ELA and Math assessments Sept 2-11. These state tests are used to establish individual baselines for the year ahead. Tests will be administered each morning on these dates:

Tuesday Sept 2: Period 1
Wednesday Sept 3: Period 2
Thursday Sept 4: Period 3
Friday Sept 5: Period 4

Tuesday Sept 9: Period 5
Wednesday Sept 10: Period 6
Thursday Sept 11: Period 7

Tests are scheduled by period; for example, if your student has math class in their 5th period, they will take their math PM1 assessment on Tuesday Sept 9th.

Please make sure your student is rested and prepared for these assessments, and do not plan to sign out during the testing window (10:00-11:45 am)

Davidsen Middle School has worked hard with the county over the last 1 ½ years to improve the ingress and egress traffic flow. Last June, the new traffic light, providing the green left arrow was installed at Montague and Linebaugh. We are only in the second week of school and asking for your patience as the county improves the technical difficulties and timing of the traffic light. Be aware that there is a 3 second trip sensor in the intersection! This means, if there is a 3 second gap between vehicle it will active the cycling of the light and the green left turn arrow will disappear. We must pay attention as the flow of traffic moves forward.
