Attention! Reading Counts Announcement

We have extended the date for taking RC tests until Friday, May 18.  We have had a fantastic school year with students participating in our Reading Counts program!  We will celebrate with students who have met their goal on Tuesday, May 29 (change in date—NOT during “Cuddle Up with a Good Book” Day).  A big “thank you” to parents who have encouraged their children to read, read, read!

Congratulations to Mr. Brian Morgan!

Brian Morgan is the art teacher here at Duncan Chapel, but he does even more than share his love and talent of art with our students! He also manages our DCTV morning program, the Bag Lunch program that helps feed the homeless, Empty Bowls night, and our Art Show.  Mr. Morgan was nominated by his co-workers as teacher of the year for 2012-2013.  He was then selected as one of the county's top ten finalists!

The winner will be announced in August.  We are proud of you, Mr. Morgan! Thank you for all you do for our students!

The End is in Sight

May 30, May 31, and June 1 are half days.  Dismissal is at 12:00.  Bag lunches will be served and buses will run.  June 1 is the students' last day of school! Report Cards will be mailed on June 5.

School and District Report Cards are no longer printed due to State budget cuts.  Please review our report card online and status letter from our principal, Mrs. McClain, for more information.

Chick Fil-A Biscuit Sales

We are now selling Chick Fil-A biscuits EVERY Friday! That's right, mouth-watering chicken breast on a freshly baked buttermilk biscuit, EVERY Friday.  Buy one for yourself, for your friends, and your co-workers.  The money we collect will be used by the PTA or by various grade levels to support our students.  Please help support us!

Congratulations, Amanda Powell Sopko!

Student-made Teacher Portraits

Teacher Portrait Gallery 2011-12 K5-5th

K5-5th grade students in Mr. Morgan's art classes created portraits of their teachers to begin the year.

Bus Transportation for K5 and 1st Grade

If you have a K5 or 1st grade child who will need bus transportation at any time this year, you need to have a school-issued, numbered tag to show the driver at the bus stop. K5 and 1st graders will not be allowed to exit the bus without the parent or designee showing this school-issued tag. These new numbered tags are included in this newsletter to all parents of K5 and 1st graders who have completed transportation forms for 2011-2012 and are coded as bus riders in our database. If you received both the number tag and the transportation form you must return the form to the school office before August 17th. If you did not receive these tags and still need them, please contact or come by the school office before Wed. August 17th. You can also register your K5/1st grade child as a bus rider at the Meet the Teacher Event on August 15th. We must have forms filled out with the current address and phone number of the parent/guardian in order to place your child on the correct bus the first day of school. School-issued bus tags used during 2010-2011 school year are no longer valid. New bus forms must be filled out on all K5 and 1st grade bus students.

Have a Great Summer!

We hope all of you will have a wonderful summer vacation.  Thank you for helping to make this a great year! Remember to keep reviewing important skills over the summer. 

To support the practice and memorization of math facts we have provided you with various websites and other resources.  Please click on your grade level for ideas!

We also have a summer reading program.  Suggested reading lists and goals are included below.  Please print the bookmark for your grade level and circle the titles you read.  Return the bookmark, signed by your parents, in August and give it to your teacher for a special treat for meeting your goal.
