Due to the weather, we will delay our arrival time to Levagood Park. We have activities planned for the morning. The plan for this morning is to have the picnic in our classrooms at 11:00 AM. We will tentatively leave for the park at 11:45 (again, depending on the weather). Please stay tuned to our school news blog for further updates. Thank you for your flexibility with changes due to the weather.
Picnic Update
We will be staying at school and having our picnic in the classroom at 11:00 because of the weather. Please bring any food items that you signed up for and enjoy some pizza with us. Hopefully it will clear up and we can head over to the pool/park afterward!

DuVall families,
I would like to thank all of the parents, guardians, and family members who are helping to chaperone the All School Picnic at Dunworth pool and Levagood Park. Students must report to DuVall at 8:35 so attendance can be taken. If a student goes directly to park, he or she will be marked absent. Chaperones must sign in the office and wait in the lobby until teachers call down to the office for them to come to class. We plan on leaving DuVall by 9:15 and will return to school by 3pm.
Please have your child bring a swimsuit and towel. Students may also bring a ball or Frisbee. The pool policy is no life jackets or water toys. Please make sure your child has sunscreen on before coming to school. Students will not be able to share sunscreen with other students. If you are not driving your child, please remember to send them with a booster seat if needed. Also, we have been advised by the City of Dearborn to make sure we have only DuVall students from grades kindergarten to fifth grade, who have signed up and paid for the pool can come to the pool due to safety liability. They will have a staff member at the gate to make sure and will not allow parents to come in with younger children. Please be aware that you can come to the picnic with younger siblings, but will not be able to enter the pool area. If you would like to take your child home from the picnic there will be a signout sheet available at the picnic area.
Recommended Route:
In order to avoid any possible traffic problems, a recommended route to the park will be to follow Beech Street to Outer Drive. Turn Right on Outer Drive and proceed to Cherry Hill. Turn Left on Cherry Hill. Proceed to North Silvery Lane. Turn Right on North Silvery Lane and proceed to our destination
Signing out students:
If you are driving other students to the All School Picnic and need to leave with your child, please return to DuVall any other students you are driving before signing out your child. If you are only driving your child(ren), you may sign your child(ren) out from the park. A centralized sign out sheet will be kept near all of the picnic tables.
Weather:
In the event of a short rain, we will monitor the weather throughout the day and make a determination if we return back to the building. In the event of a thunderstorm or prolonged rain, all chaperones should take all the students they are driving directly back to the school. The students will report to the gym and go directly to their assigned areas. Classroom designations have been placed on the walls for each class. The staff will take attendance.
Thank you for your help.

End of the Year Picnic
There is a sign up genius that just went out for our picnic. Please sign up if you can. We also need a couple more parent drivers. Right now we have 15 children covered!
Zoo Field Trip
Please remember to send your child to school with a lunch for our field trip Monday. Make sure to pack in a disposable bag so that we can throw everything away when we are finished eating.
Summer Practice
We are fortunate that our school provides our students with a variety of educational tools through paid subscriptions. Please keep in mind that all students experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer. On average, students lose approximately over 2 months of grade-level equivalency in mathematical computation skills over the summer months. Some students can lose about 2 months of reading achievement.
In an effort to assist parents in reducing the “summer loss of learning” We are providing you a list of sites that are designed to be a review of material from the past school year and have been pulled from our current reading and math programs, so they should be familiar to you and your child. Below is a list of available paid website subscriptions. Each website has its own unique value.
Online Everyday Math- This site provides students with practice with basic math skills, builds critical thinking skills, computation and fact fluency. Students also receive feedback on all mathematical concepts. This site also includes games that are designed to motivate students, address specific skills and levels.
