Dunsmuir Elementary School

Wildcat Parents of these WINNING athletes: We are due to arrive to the school in roughly 10 minutes. Please by there ready to pick up your children promptly!

I apologize for the link to the student interview permission slip not allowing all to access. It has been fixed now and should work. Thank you. Susan https://forms.gle/R7SfzqDXSAn7sXmVA

Wildcat families…As many of you know we are in the planning phase for creating a Community School. The purpose of the Community School is to better serve you, our families, and our community in the ways you feel are most needed. This will not replace the fabulous school we already have. It will allow us more opportunities for the success of our students. We are starting our input sessions with student interviews and will then move on to doing the same with parents. We will add this input to what we already have; ie. snowboarding club, fly fishing club, mentoring etc. Please look for a permission slip for student interviews coming home tomorrow, Friday Feb. 26. We will begin interviews, Wednesday, January 31. We ask that you return the permission slips no later than Tuesday, January 30. If you would prefer to respond to the permission slip electronically, please access this link. https://forms.gle/uZmpPfqFpzZLP55RA This information we gather will be shared out at our next advisory committee meeting, February 21. You are invited to attend this meeting in person or via Zoom. Details will follow. Respectfully, Susan Keeler, Community School Planning Coordinator Jas Wilkinson, Community School Planning Parent Liaison

The Community School Planning Advisory Group is asking for your input. Would you please complete our survey (very quick, I promise)? Your input is greatly appreciated! https://forms.gle/BuJgBVfCd1NUu6AK8 Thank you...Susan Keeler, CS planning coordinator
