As we come to final days of the 25-26 school year, I want to take a moment to thank you for your support, partnership, and involvement this school year!
It has been a joy to watch your children learn and grow this year. All of our teachers and staff are proud of all they have accomplished and you have been an important part of that success.
On behalf of everyone here at Dune Lakes Elementary, I wish you and your student a safe, restful, and joyful summer break. Please stay connected with us and our social media over the summer to stay up to date on the latest announcements and information. We look forward to welcoming you back in the fall for another exciting year!
Yearbooks have been distributed. If your student paid and did not receive their yearbook, please contact Mrs. Isolano to check for receipt of payment 850-622-5012 x2706.
We have a limited amount of extra yearbooks that will be sold for $40 on a first come first serve basis at 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, May 29th. Cash or check
To expedite check in for the upcoming ceremonies, we are encouraging you to pre-register for your visitor pass. Deadline to pre-register for 3/4 ceremony is May 27; survey will close at that time. ONLY parents who have already been scanned into the Raptor system previously with an ID will be able to do this. If you have not been scanned into our system, we will do that the day you visit. Once you arrive, we will have your badge ready, filed by your last name. We appreciate your patience and continued support helping us ensure the safety of your children!
