Duval Dispatch
Celebrating 70 Years of Regal/Duval!
Week of April 26th
Dear Duval Families-
Welcome back! We hope everyone had a wonderful week off! Now we are in the home stretch of this school year. We are beginning placement conversations for next year. If you would like to provide us information about what learning style your student would best benefit from, please feel free to fill out this survey.
Introducing Cassi Montgomery or "Miss M" as we like to call her here at Duval. Allison Brandon is officially out on maternity leave and Miss M will be taking over for her until the start of next school year. She is a familiar face to all of our students as she has been a substitute for us for two years and been in almost every classroom. We are excited to have her acting in this role! If you need to email the office for any changes in dismissal, doctors' notes, information changes, etc. please email: cassandra.montgomery@whrsd.org. Also a reminder to please bring in your photo ID when dismissing students. Cassi is getting to know our community members and we do require a photo ID for dismissals. Thank you for your cooperation!
Spring Picture Day is April 29. This is individual photos only. Please see the flyer below for more details.
Have a wonderful week everyone!

Hello Duval families!
We are preparing for many fun spring activities and will need lots of help to ensure they all run smoothly. If you’re interested in volunteering for events please check your CORI status with the main office.
Tomorrow is our final dining partnership- we will be partnering with Supreme Pizza. See flyer for details. These dining partnerships have been so successful because our Duval families are amazing- thank you!
Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week! This is a chance for us to show our Duval staff how much we appreciate everything they do. Each day we will provide something different- please see the links below to signup if you’d like to send items. We are also appreciative of donations via Venmo (@duvalpto) if you’d like to donate but can’t get the items. There is a flyer attached with a description of each day, beginning with Chalk the Walk on 5/3!
