Greetings Duchesne

Dolphin Families

Congratulations to everyone on completing their first full week back with in person learning. I’m proud to say that the students and staff have transitioned well, however, there are some concerns that should be addressed prior to instruction beginning next week. As a parent, we all know that getting to school on time in the morning is very important, in addition, remaining in class all day is just as important. With that being said it is the responsibility of the parents to ensure that the students are in attendance daily and throughout the day. School opens at 9:05am allowing students the opportunity to grab breakfast on their way to class and ends at 4:05pm. Beginning Monday, April, 19^th 2021, students are expected to go home the same way they arrived. TRANSPORTATION CHANGES ONLY UPON EXCEPTION OF PARENTS CALLING BEFORE 3:15PM TO INFORM THE SCHOOL OF HOW THEIR STUDENT WILL BE GOING HOME. Duchesne ultimate goal is to make sure all students are present each day to receive the full educational experience. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me here at Duchesne Elementary School.
