Dear DuVall Families,

Happy New Year! I hope all of our families had a restful and enjoyable winter break. Please remember, Monday is an early dismissal (12:05). Tuesday will be our normal early release at 2:25.

Thank you to all of the families that recognized me and any of our staff members with heartfelt cards and gifts during the holiday season. You are so generous and your thoughtfulness and kindness is deeply appreciated by all of us.

We have a PTA meeting on Wednesday at 6:30. We hope you can join us in the Media Center or on Zoom Meeting ID: 842 5773 7447 Passcode: 650400

This week’s notes and reminders:

  • Monday is a 12:05 dismissal. All after school tutoring and clubs are canceled for Monday.
  • Thank you to Ms. T. Dowgiallo for arranging all of our Lost & Found items. All items will be placed on a table for students and parents to go through and claim what is theirs beginning Monday, January 13. After school on Friday, January 17th whatever is left will be bagged and donated.
