Hello Dunham Families,
We had another great week at Dunham. Between funky hair day, letters from leprechauns and leprechaun traps, we had lots of fun. The state, via SCOE, has provided each school district with antigen test kits. Each test kit contains two tests. These test kits are intended for Dunham School students, not staff members or family members. We have been allotted one test kit per a Dunham student. The purpose of providing these kits is so that students can take a test at the end of spring break prior to coming back to school. We highly encourage all Dunham students to take a test the last 1 to 2 days before coming back to school on Monday, April 11.
The test kits will be distributed to parents/guardians by the Community Room door that is located below the bell at the following times:
Monday, March 21, from 2:15-2:45 p.m.
Tuesday, March 22, from 7:30-8:00 a.m.
Wednesday, March 23, from 7:30-8:00 a.m.
Have a fantastic weekend,
Daniel Hoffman
Superintendent / Principal

If you have a future TK or Kindergartener at home who is either turning 5 on or before September 1st, 2022 (for Kindergarten) or turns 5 between September 2nd and February 2, 2023 (for TK), please call the office so we can make sure we have a spot for them on our class rosters for next year. Also, we have room for students in some other grades as well. As you know, Dunham is a unique and great place to go to school. Our campus, culture, programs, staff, community, families and traditions make for an exceptional educational experience.

We appreciate your support.
