Duncan Dispatch
A Message From the Principal
I wanted to remind you that we have a long weekend coming up, and there will be no school on Monday, May 29th in observance of Memorial Day.
This is a great opportunity for us to take some time to rest, recharge, and spend quality time with our loved ones. Whether you have plans to travel or just relax at home, I encourage you to make the most of this well-deserved break.
Kindly,
Jodi Pfeifer
Proud Principal

Parking Lot Reminders
- When waiting for students, please wait off to the side of the building to allow for our students to safely walk to our busses and for our busses to safely pull up to the bus lane.
- Handicap parking spots are for cars with Handicap Placard only.
- The North Bus Lane Parking Lot does NOT have a Student Drop off line. This lot should be used for overflow parking, PLEASE use the student drop off parking lot first. This will allow the drop off line to move more quickly. TOO many cars have been using this as a drop off causing issues for our busses to safely exit. Any car in this lot should be in a parking spot and students should be walked to the cross walk with an adult. Please do not try to beat the busses out of this lot.
- For safety reasons students should NOT be walking through the parking lot without an adult.
