Parents of isolating/quarantined students returning to campus tomorrow, 1/18 for testing, your children cannot ride the bus until they have been cleared with a negative test. Please drive your children to school in the morning. Have your children report to the library for their test while you remain in your vehicle. Once they are cleared, you will be notified and may leave campus at that time. Testing will begin at 7:40 in the library. If you have any questions, please call the office.

We are happy to announce that you can now report your child’s absence and access the PowerSchool Student and Parent Portals to check grades with the click of a button! Just open your Dunsmuir Elementary App, click “Menu” and choose where you’d like to go! It doesn’t get much easier than this!


We have had several calls from community members asking why students are out and about when they should be quarantined or isolated. Please remember that students should be home during a quarantine or isolation period. We also have several students who have not picked up work from school. Thank you.

We have home tests available to send home with your children. I have sent out an email regarding this. If you are interested in having test sent home, please respond to the email or call Kelli at school. Thank you.

Tonight's basketball game has been postponed to a future date. Girls will have practice today at 3:30.

Parents of basketball players... Tomorrow's game at Montague (vs. Shasta Valley) does not start until 6:00. Because of the lateness, the team will not stop to eat on the way home. There will be no concession stand. We will send a snack with them, but you might want to pack them something more. Athletes will call you when they get close to school to be picked up. I would plan on between 9 and 9:30. Please be prompt on picking them up as Coach Carl will not leave the school until they are all picked up. Thank you!

Come out and cheer for our Wildcat Basketball players as they play their first home game of the season against Castle Rock! Girls play at 5:00, Boys at 6:00. Concessions available. Masks Required.

Families participating in the weekend food program: Please remember to return those food bags so we can refill them each week! If you're not signed up and would like to be, please let me know and I'll make sure a sign-up form makes it home with your child.

Tomorrow, January 3rd, is a MINIMUM DAY and there will be NO BUS running due to a transportation conflict. If your child will need a ride to/from school, please reach out and we will arrange transportation. K-3 will be dismissed at 1:00 and 4-8 dismissed at 12:45.
