Douglas Public Schools Mission Statement
“The Douglas Public Schools offer diverse learning experiences that meet the academic, social, physical, and emotional needs of all students. We provide a safe, supportive, and challenging learning environment in which students may achieve academic success and personal growth. Decisions are made in the best interest of students.”
Dear Parents and Families,
This week we celebrated Mental Health Awareness Month by wearing green! Today, we are wearing red, white, and blue, in honor of Memorial Day. I hope everyone has a nice long weekend!
The theme for this month is collaboration and teamwork! Mrs. Purvis has been visiting every classroom challenging students to work together to build a structure. In doing so, students listened to each other and worked as a team! Teamwork makes the dreamwork!!
