Douglas Elementary School Newsletter
January/February
Message from the Principal
Don't forget that all elementary schools have a new start time of 7:30 A.M. Classes start at 7:30 A.M. It is encouraged that students get to school in enough time to eat breakfast and prepare for learning. Doors/Gates are open at 7:00 A.M. The car rider line will close at 7:25 A.M. in order for staff to get in place for intervention. All students will participate in intervention either to accelerate or remediate based on their individual needs. Students should enter through the front office once the gate is closed. Students will be marked tardy beginning at 7:30 and must be escorted into the front office by an adult.
Ms. Parker thanks everyone for their prayers. She is home recovering well.
