Dunsmuir Elementary School

Dunsmuir Elementary Families, see you all back on campus this Tuesday. There is no school on Monday due to Admissions Day. Have a good rest of your weekend!

Hello Everyone!

On Saturday, October 25th, from 8am - 2pm the City of Dunsmuir is hosting a FREE green waste day. This is all being done in order to help mitigate wildfires and their potential threats to homes, so by disposing or your green waste you will also be supporting our local firefighters. For more information regarding this event, please refer to the attached flier.

Hello all! There is fresh produce from our very own Dunsmuir Elementary School garden located in our staff lounge up for grabs. Bring some bags and take what you want. The goal is to give it all away today, so please, come in and explore what we have!

Please note this Thursday's volleyball home game has B team playing first. As always our games are free to enter and we have an amazing concession stand!

Have you been in the office recently? This new "Free DES Market" of sorts has been set up for our students and families. Dunsmuir-grown produce, pantry staple items, and treats too! Students and families are encouraged to take what they can use. 🐾😋

Reminder, no school tomorrow or Monday: 8/29/25 and 9/1/25. Four day weekend. Wildcats are due back on campus next Tuesday, 9/2/25.🐾

Copies of the breakfast and lunch menus went home with students the first week of school. Here is the digital copy. Menus for the month of September will be sent home soon.

Good morning, Wildcat Families!

Our phones are currently being worked on. We are using walkie talkies and the intercom system to communicate on campus. Another communication will be sent once the repair has been completed. Please email your student's teacher or aarmenta@dunsmuir.k12.ca.us if immediate contact is needed.

Thank you so much!

Is your 5th-8th grade student ready to become a leader on campus? Encourage them to come to the Student Council meeting this Friday at 11:45. Have questions? Come get then answered! Friday, 8/22/25, 11:45, in the Student Council room.

Big thanks to Dunsmuir High School! DES students are expected back on campus today. DHS stepped up to bus our students to school even when their own school doesn't begin until Wednesday! Love the partnership! Attached is this year's route and schedule.

Tomorrow is the first day of the school year! Seeing old friends, making friend with our new students, exploring how the campus will look this year. We can't wait to see all our wildcats in the morning. Breakfast is at 7:30, recess at 8:00, class begins at 8:15. Do you plan on riding the bus? You can find the schedule on our website: https://www.dunsmuir.k12.ca.us/ See you in the morning!

Enjoying the campus garden during ELO - picking and eating fresh strawberries, chewing on mint leaves, planting berry canes...smiles all around! Come join in the fun! TK-8th grade students.

Do you have extra canning jars, lids, or rings? These student chefs could put them to use! They've exhausted their supply and would love to continue making jams and pickles. M-F, 8:00-5:00 in the SAFE quad and cafeteria. Thank you!

Happy last day of school! Reminder, there is no SAFE today, and it is a minimum day. School gets out at 1:00 p.m. Please make arrangements to pick up your students by 1:00 p.m. Have a wonderful summer, and we look forward to seeing you back for the coming school year! Don't forget to join your schoolmates for an exciting ELO program this June. Dunsmuir Elementary
