A Letter from the Principal, Dr. Todd
Happy September Duello Family,
I can’t tell you how happy I am to be back in school! The sound of the pitter-patter of little feet (and not so little in our C Hall) brings my heart so much joy!
It has already been an exciting (literally - downpours, heat advisories, bus route changes, and indoor recess only two weeks in), but mostly a calm start to the year. If you are new to Duello, let me extend a warm welcome to your family on behalf of our entire staff. Our goal is to provide a rich and engaging educational experience for all students in a community that is built on relationships among students, staff, and families. YOU matter at Duello! Your involvement, input, questions, ideas, and partnership inspire and propel us to do the absolute best that we can for our students. We continue to strive for excellence in all that we do, maintaining a focus on our student's success academically, socially, and emotionally, and we so value the support of our families in helping our students succeed in all areas.
This year our staff is focused on collaboration amongst themselves and with students. This work will help us be in collaboration with one another and students to do what is best for kids. We look for opportunities for EVERY child to shine and build upon their strengths as individual learners.
Our mission of “Learning, Leading, Growing … Together” is as relevant as ever. Thank you for entrusting us with your children as we work together to equip students to be leaders, thinkers, and problem-solvers this year!
Love,
Dr. Todd

Duello Covid-19 Information
COVID-19 is thought to be spread via person-to-person contact through contaminated air droplets from coughing and sneezing by an infected person. As with controlling the spread of other viruses, we urge everyone to take the following preventive measures:
● Stay home when you are sick.
● Wash your hands regularly, especially after using the restroom and before preparing or consuming food. Using soap and hot water, wash for at least 20 seconds.
● Avoid coughing or sneezing into your hands or in the air. Always try to cough or sneeze into a tissue, then throw the tissue away. If you don’t have a tissue, cough/sneeze into your arm.
● As much as you can, avoid touching your eyes, mouth, and nose.
● Maintain at least six feet away from those who do not live with you or wear a face covering.
We appreciate your partnership as we continue to work with the St. Charles County Department of Public Health to ensure the health and safety of our students, staff, and families. *A close contact, as defined by the CDC, is someone who has been within six feet of the positive person while they were infectious for 15 cumulative minutes or more.
