At Duncan High School, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every student can achieve at high levels. Our mission is to deliver a rigorous academic curriculum within a supportive, secure, and nurturing atmosphere.

Every student, Every Day.

A Message from Mrs. Elroy:

 

Dear Families,

I hope each of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families!  The end of the first semester is quickly approaching.  Please remind your students to stay focused and on top of their grades and attendance. 

***THE LAST DAY TO SUBMIT MISSING WORK FOR THIS SEMESTER IS DECEMBER 9. 

***If there are any questions regarding grades and/or attendance, those questions need to be asked now and not the week of finals.

***Test exemptions are class by class and each teacher will be communicating to students about their exemption status by December 12.

 I want to encourage all students to continue working hard, staying focused, and supporting one another. Together, we can achieve great things. And as always, let’s remember to LIVE RED!

With gratitude,
Mrs. Elroy

Communication with School Staff:

We are dedicated to serving our students and their families each and every day. We are here and eager to help in anyway that we can. With that being said, we also have to protect our time with our own families and have time to disconnect and recharge.

Please respect the following boundaries regarding communication with school personnel. Thank you.

1. Teachers and staff will make every effort to respond to parent messages or phone calls within 24 hours during the work week. The best time to call is 7:30-3:15 each day.

2. Emails/messages and phone calls on Friday and the weekend will be returned on Monday of the following week.

3. All parent/staff communication should be through an official school Rooms communication app or a phone call to the school office. In addition to these, other school communication tools such as SeeSaw, Class Dojo or other tools set up by the school or teacher may also be used.

4. Teachers also have a planning period during the day that can be used for phone communication or parent meetings as needed.

5. Appointments can be scheduled with other staff, as needed, through a phone call to the school office.
