A Message from Mrs. Elroy:

 

Dear Families,

The spring semester is off to a fantastic start at Duncan High School! Students are working hard, teachers are inspiring great learning, and the energy on campus is truly positive. Our counselors have been visiting with students to discuss pre-enrollment for next year and to answer any questions they may have about their course selections.  Please reach out to us if you have questions about this.

As we move into testing season, especially for our juniors, let’s continue to encourage focus, preparation, and confidence. Thank you for your continued support in helping every student succeed.

Go Demons!

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.
