Hi there Wildcat families! I hope it has been a great year so far. My name is Jas Wilkinson and I would like to introduce myself as the Parent Liaison for our Community School Program that began last fall. I have already met many of you and am looking forward to meeting many more families in the new school year. One goal we have is make sure everyone knows about all of the activities, opportunities and special events at our school. In addition, seeking activities outside of school such as sign-ups for various sports programs, theatre groups, music teachers (looking hard for those) and other enriching extracurricular activities. Please reach out to me at jwilkinson@dunsmuir.k12.ca.us if you would like more info or to share ideas. I really appreciate your time!

Join us tomorrow morning for a Rotary sponsored pancake breakfast in the Dunsmuir Elementary cafeteria! Breakfast will be served at 7:30. Families welcome!


Attached is the updated calendar for the 2024/25 school year.

The Meet and Greet Ice Cream Social has also been changed to Friday, August 16th at 5:00 pm on our lower playground. Enjoy the rest of your summer and if you have any questions please feel free to contact the office at (530) 235-4828 Monday-Friday 7:30 am-3:30 PM. Thank you and see you all soon!
Go Wildcats!

Join us on August 9th at 5:00pm for a Meet & Greet Ice Cream Social on the lower playground. We will be serving some yummy ice cream and you’ll have the opportunity to meet our new teachers and visit with the returning staff. We can’t wait to see you there!


We are in the process of switching our student information system to Alma, which will allow us to do online registration. This switch will be happening this coming week but will take a little bit of time to complete. We are hoping that we will be up and running by the end of the week. I will have paper packets available for those who prefer not to do online registration.
If you have any questions, please reach out. You can email me directly at koconnor@dunsmuir.k12.ca.us or call the office, 235-4828 x204.
School office hours are 7:30-3:30, Monday through Friday.
