In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, all PAUSD schools are closed this Monday. Enjoy the day off! And please see our Community Happenings page to join in a special event, “Together We Rise,” celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I think we can safely say we miss being at Duveneck. And while we can’t be together, we can still show our school/community pride. With that, we’d like to start “We are Duveneck” Fridays. Kids, teachers, staff, and parents are encouraged to wear their Duveneck shirts or sweatshirts this and every Friday. Take a picture and send it to pta@duveneck.org so that we can put it into eNews. If you’re feeling especially creative, feel free to create videos, signs, letters, or pictures that showcase why you love this school. With this effort we hope that it brings our school just a little closer together! Don’t have any Duveneck logowear? No problem, just wear our school colors: royal blue and white. Or pick up something from our new online schwag store https://duveneck.threadless.com/, or grab one of the last few of our classic shirts at http://www.duveneck.org/store.

You are warmly invited! PTA General Association meetings are open to everyone – whether you paid membership dues to join the PTA at the beginning of the year or whether you just want to check things out. These meetings are a great way for interested parents to learn about how the Duveneck community comes together for our school. Principal Crane will present her monthly report, which will provide an inside look into this unique year. If you are a PTA member, you play the important role of voting to approve the rest of this year’s drastically reduced budget, which funds all library books, school supplies, learning materials, teacher technology, and more – especially critical this year for making distance learning successful. If you’d like to become a PTA member, click here to purchase “PTA Membership Dues.” Annual membership is $10. We hope to see you! Questions?
