Welcome to November Dunham Families,
The first trimester comes to an end today, which means parent / teacher conferences are quickly approaching. Teachers have been and will be sending out more information about setting up parent / teacher conferences, which will be held via Zoom. I would highly encourage everyone to make sure you attend your student’s conference. It serves as a great opportunity for the school and home to communicate and collaborate about helping our kids.
As I shared last week, November has a lot going on, calendar-wise. On Thursday November 11th, there is no school in observance of Veteran’s Day. November 15th, 16th, 18th & 19th are all 11:45 early dismissal days for all grades (regular Wednesday 1:30 dismissal on November 17th). There will be no school during Thanksgiving Break, which is the week of November 22nd – 26th. When we return on November 29th, the kindergarten students’ day extends to 1:30. It is a very busy month.
Don’t forget about our PTO’s Create and Donate tomorrow! Please see the details below.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Daniel Hoffman
Superintendent / Principal

On Tuesday, November 9th, at 6:00 we will be having our monthly regular board meeting. This meeting is in-person and takes place in the Dunham School Community Room. We hope to see you there!
COVID-19 Testing Available at School
We will now be able to offer onsite COVID-19 testing as a convenience to parents. As you know, outdoor masking and the ability to get a COVID test allows for students to not miss school even if they are exposed to COVID at school (modified quarantine). Getting a COVID test at school is not required; as previously shared we are offering it as a convenience and resource. A parent must consent and be present for the testing. We are able to offer testing for at-school exposure, COVID symptoms and surveillance testing. Testing is for Dunham students only. Please see the below information about registering, consent and availability. I want to offer a special thank you to Maggie Vasquez in the school office for figuring out a way to offer this resource to Dunham students.
