Good Evening students and parents,
This is Lauryn Duncan, Principal at Douglass Elementary School calling with a few announcements for the week.
We have officially completed our school wide fundraiser. Thank you to everyone who participated in our fundraiser this year. We met our school goal of $8,000! Awesome job Douglass families. Prizes will be scheduled and communicated to families in the coming weeks. Mrs. Duncan will also be participating in a special surprise for all students in order to celebrate this huge accomplishment. If you have not turned in your money for the fundraiser, please do so by Tuesday, September 10. Please remember that we cannot accept any unsold candy bars.
Families, our Prek, Functional Skills and kindergarten students will continue learning and practicing colors this week. Help our students have fun by asking your child to wear pink on Monday, black on Tuesday, green on Wednesday, blue on Thursday, and red on Friday.
Parents, our first PTO meeting will be this Tuesday, September 10th beginning at 5:30 pm in the media center. Please consider attending this meeting as we will discuss events and fundraisers for the 2024-2025 school year.
3rd Grade parents, your child will be taking the beginning of grade 3 assessment Tuesday, September 10th. We will begin testing at 8:30 am. Please be sure that your child gets a good night’s sleep and is on time.
This year, in an effort to streamline documentation and papers coming home, Rockingham County Schools has moved to an online platform to provide you with information regarding the following: FERPA, Military, and Social Emotional Learning Student Survey permission. It is important that you click on the link and complete the brief survey. The first question will ask if you have your student’s ID number. If you have it or if your child can provide it, then click yes, and you will be directed to the first set of questions. If you do not have access to your student’s ID number, you will click no, and you will be directed to type in your child’s name and select their school, grade level, etc. prior to accessing the rest of the survey. You will need to complete one survey for each child enrolled in Rockingham County Schools. You will be able to access the survey by clicking on the link in the weekly AlertNow message posted on dojo. We thank you in advance for completing this survey. https://rockinghamcs.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2aYLDZEN3XA2nB4
Lastly, our first Title 1 Curriculum Parent Night will be Thursday, September 26th from 5:30-7:30 pm. Please make plans to attend as you will receive information regarding the expectations of teaching and learning here at Douglass Elementary school. Our Book Fair will also be open for our families to shop.
We hoe you enjoy the rest of your evening and we look forward to seeing you bright and early tomorrow morning.
