Duncan Elementary
Dedicated to excellence in education
Duncan Announcements

As we reach the end of another successful school year, we want to take a moment to reflect on the achievements, growth, and joy that have filled our halls. It has been a remarkable year, full of learning and memorable experiences, and we are immensely proud of our students for their hard work and dedication.
We want to express our sincere gratitude to you, our parents and guardians, for your unwavering support and partnership. Your involvement in your children's education has been instrumental in their success. Whether it was attending parent-teacher conferences, helping with homework, participating in school events, or simply being there to encourage and support your child, your efforts have made a significant impact.
As we transition into the summer months, we encourage you to take this time to relax, rejuvenate, and enjoy some quality family time. Summer is an excellent opportunity for students to explore their interests, engage in new activities, and continue learning in fun and creative ways. Whether it's reading a new book, exploring nature, or participating in community programs, there are endless possibilities for enriching experiences.
Please remember to keep your child's mind active by encouraging them to read regularly and practice their math skills. Many libraries and community centers offer summer reading programs and other educational activities that can be both enjoyable and beneficial. Check our Mrs. Williams Newsletter below for some great ideas!
We also want to remind you to stay connected with us through our school's website and social media channels. We will be sharing important updates and information about the upcoming school year, so please check in periodically.
We wish you all a safe, happy, and restful summer, and I look forward to welcoming everyone back in the fall for another exciting year of learning.
Warmest Regards,
Your Duncan Family
