2024-25 District Calendar

2025-26 District Calendar

Hello Families,

Happy Friday and I hope you all have had a good week. I want to start off my message by sending a huge thank you to our greater community for supporting the school construction and modernization bond measure this past week. We know that our students and community deserve modern and updated facilities and it is an important step leading to a new high school for our Duniway community.

We were busy this week holding our monthly assembly and staff training on the early release day. We are at the point now when we are reflecting on our practices throughout this year and are planning for next school year. Today was a fun, light hearted day as we celebrated "Beach Day" thinking about the summer season ahead. Students had a lot of creative beach clothing and beach accessories.

Looking ahead to next week, I hope to see all of you at our Spring Showcase next week on Thursday night. It will be a great chance to visit classrooms, experience music and dance and join together as a larger community. I hope you all enjoy a fun and relaxing long Memorial Day weekend. We will see you back at school on Tuesday!

Sincerely,

Principal Melvin
