Douglas Primary School
Nov. 15, 2024
“The Douglas Public Schools offer diverse learning experiences that meet the academic, social, physical, and emotional needs of all students. We provide a safe, supportive, and challenging learning environment in which students may achieve academic success and personal growth. Decisions are made in the best interest of students.”
Our theme for November is Gratitude and Kindness!
We will cultivate a sense of gratitude and appreciation and encourage students to practice acts of kindness. Students showing gratitude and kindness will receive a raffle ticket from their teacher.
Substitutes Needed!
We are in need of substitutes for teachers and paras. Please apply in School Spring or stop by for an application!
A few reminders to Parents and Families:
- Please use the absentee line to call in when your child is sick
- Please send your child to school with a coat, hat, and mittens for outdoor recess
