Dear DuVall Families,
We are excited about the opportunity to hold Summer Discovery at DuVall. It will be a great program filled with learning and fun. Please use this link to register: https://forms.gle/kjty9qa26u8X65zt7 It’s important that you register ASAP. Please see me with any questions you may have. As you scroll through the registration document many of your questions will be answered. This is a FREE program and will help your child avoid losing all of the gains they have made this year.
To all of our families celebrating, have a wonderful rest of Ramadan and enjoy your Eid holiday. Eid Mubarek!
To everyone, enjoy your spring break. Encourage your students to read, relax, have fun and enjoy their break.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! We have raised the $1,200 needed for new chairs for the lounge. We have ordered them and are excitedly awaiting their arrival. Many thanks to the Hammoud, Majed, Vanderwaal and Ross families that very generously donated last week bringing us to the amount needed.
Thank you Robbin Makled and friends for all of your work in organizing the Shamrock Shuffle! It was a great event and lots of fun!
