Spiritwear forms were sent out last week and are due on November 21st. Extra forms are located in the main office.
Picture Retakes
Picture retake day is coming soon! We will not be sending paper order forms or picture day notices for retakes but we want to provide you with the information on how families can place an order.
Picture Retake Day is: November 15, 2022
Order Code is: 69471R
Your link to order is: https://inter-state.com/FlyerEntry/69471R
Picture retakes are for new students, students who were absent on the original picture day, or students that were not yet photographed.
Above is the picture retake date, order code & one click link to online ordering for your picture retake day. THIS CODE IS DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL ORDER CODE.
Students who ordered a package on the original picture day but are choosing to get their picture retaken MUST bring their original picture package with them on retake day. They DO NOT need to place a new order. If they forget their package on retake day, we will take their photo & write their name down but we won’t order a new package until the old one is returned.
Family Friendly Survey
In keeping with our Core Values, Duneland School Corporation is committed to fostering partnerships to improve the quality of life in our community. One of our most important partnerships is with our families. As we strive to continue to build upon and strengthen our family partnerships, DSC is applying for renewal from the Indiana Department of Education as an IDOE “Family Friendly Schools” corporation. In doing so, we will continue to “focus on addressing students' academic, physical, emotional, and social needs while providing the needed resources and fostering the active involvement of their families through schools and the community.” (Indiana Department of Education Family Friendly Schools Handbook)
Please help us as we continue to support our students and community by completing the IDOE online survey by November 18, 2022.

A Message From Mrs. Smenyak, Our School Counselor.
Each Monday, in Advisory, Liberty Intermediate School students will be taking part in lessons that are designed to help students develop the self-awareness, self-control, and interpersonal skills that are vital for school, work, and life success. Each week there will be a short preview of the next week's lesson in this newsletter.
During the week of 11/14:
5th grade students will learn to identify things they can change to manage strong emotions in recurring situations.
6th grade students will learn how to be an upstander. Upstanders are people who stand up for people who are being bullied.

Community Opportunities
The goal of the Duneland School Corporation district school newsletters is to inform students, parents and the school community about school-related information.
This year, the Duneland Schools will share information that pertains to opportunities our students may be interested in outside of school on a special page on our website. These available opportunities are offered by not-for-profit partnerships and organizations within our school district boundaries and local communities. Follow this link to Community Opportunities
