A message for DuVall families:
DuVall Families,
In order to assist families with the continuation of remote learning, our staff has gathered student math books that we are planning on distributing on Tuesday, May 5th. At this time, the math books along with some specific grade level supplies (and registration information for next year) will be distributed for each student. Personal items that were not picked up on March 13th will not be distributed at this time. Parents and students will not be allowed to enter the building as the learning resources will be brought to your vehicle by a staff member. We are going to follow the same safety protocols that were used with the chromebook distribution.
Parents will drive up to the bus lane on Francis Street near the preschool door (door 4) on Tuesday, May 5th. Please follow traffic rules and allow for distance between vehicles while the materials distribution is taking place. If your family has multiple siblings in our building, please indicate the names of the students so that you can make one trip.
