The Demon

A Message from Mrs. Elroy

Dear Students and Families,

Welcome to a new school year! I am delighted to have everyone back and to see so many new faces joining our high school community.

Each new year brings fresh opportunities, and I am excited to see what we will accomplish together.

As your principal, I am especially proud of our LIVE RED campaign. These guiding principles—Lead, Include, Value Growth, Excel, Represent, Elevate Others, and Demonstrate Character—shape our school culture and help us all become the best versions of ourselves. I encourage everyone to keep these values in mind as we learn, grow, and support one another throughout the year.

Let’s work together to create a positive and welcoming environment for every student. By supporting each other and working as a team, we can ensure a successful and memorable year for all.

Thank you for your partnership and commitment to our school. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!

Warm regards,

Mrs. Elroy
Principal

Communication with School Staff

We are dedicated to serving our students and their families each and every day. We are here and eager to help in anyway that we can. With that being said, we also have to protect our time with our own families and have time to disconnect and recharge.

Please respect the following boundaries regarding communication with school personnel. Thank you.

Teachers and staff will make every effort to respond to parent messages or phone calls within 24 hours during the work week. The best time to call is 7:30-3:15 each day.
Emails/messages and phone calls on Friday and the weekend will be returned on Monday of the following week.
All parent/staff communication should be through an official school Rooms communication app or a phone call to the school office. In addition to these, other school communication tools such as SeeSaw, Class Dojo or other tools set up by the school or teacher may also be used.
Teachers also have a planning period during the day that can be used for phone communication or parent meetings as needed.
Appointments can be scheduled with other staff, as needed, through a phone call to the school office.

Please see our student handbook for more detailed information regarding attendance. It can be found at duncanps.org.
