Douglas Primary School Week of Sept.7, 2015

Douglas Primary School

Open House was held Tuesday evening with parents and students visiting their classrooms and teachers from 5:30 to 7:00 pm.

Due to the extreme heat Wednesday, our Kindergarten and first grade classes walked to the Elementary School for their Art, PE, Music, or Library classes. Students had lunch and spent the rest of the day enjoying the air conditioning while participating in selected activities with their classes.  Thank you Mr. Cederbaum for your hospitality!
We apologize to the new Kindergarten parents who did not receive the One Call regarding our day at the Elementary School. The problem has been corrected.

Thank you to our Facilities Director, Jeff Kollett and his custodial staff for making the Primary School look so clean and appealing!

Our gymnasium has been painted and looks bright and inviting, our library has been expanded and will include a computer/iPad center, we have new carpeting in a classroom as well as in the Preschool entrance foyer, along with fresh paint in the bathrooms and halls!

Note regarding bus times in the afternoon:

The buses were running a little late the first day due to The Primary School making sure our students were on the correct bus. Wednesday dismissal went much smoother so buses left much earlier than Tuesday. Please be at the bus stop and allow for some variation in times, especially at the beginning of the year. It will even off soon and you will be able to judge your bus time.
