Picture Retake Day is November 15th.
Classic Photography will be photographing new students, students who were absent on the original picture day, and any student whose parents are requesting a retake.
Parents of the students participating on Retake Day should be aware of the following:
- If a student was absent on the initial picture day, their name will appear on the unphotographed list so that you are aware that they need to have their picture taken for the yearbook.
- If a parent has expressed interest in having their child’s picture retaken, this can also be done on retake day. The student should bring the original photo package, including the original envelope and all picture products, to turn into the photographer when they come to sit for a new picture. You do NOT not need to fill out a new order form.
It's National School Psychologist Week!
Duke Elementary is lucky to have the talented Ms. Ashley Fox as our school psych. She makes phenomenal connections with our students and will leave no stone unturned to find a solution! If you haven't heard about Ms. Fox from your student(s), please do yourself a favor and ask them "What does the Fox say" at Community Gatherings!
Happy School Psychologist Week, Ms. Fox. We are beyond fortunate to call you ours!!!
Duke Elementary would be 'Muffin' without its wonderful teachers and staff members. Lets show them how much we appreciate their hard work and dedication to the safety and education of our children by baking (or buying) them muffins.
