Duveneck Summer Playdates

Happy Summer!  We have two playdates planned next month for new kinders, last year’s new families, and new families joining Duveneck this year. We would love for as many of you that can make it to be there, so please spread the word!

The dates are:
Kinder playdate: Sunday, August 1st 10am-12pm
New Family and Kinder playdate: August 7th 3pm-5pm

Both playdates will be on the Duveneck playground (705 Alester Ave).

Please be sure that any unvaccinated attendees (including children!) wear masks.

If you’d like more info or have questions, please contact pta@duveneck.org.

And to ALL of you — a final thanks. Have a wonderful summer!

A huge THANK YOU to you, parents and caregivers, for all you have done and sacrificed this year to support your children and our school. This school year could not have worked without you. Here’s to brighter days ahead, and to coming together as a community *in person* next year! It takes a village to raise our children, and WE ARE AN AWESOME VILLAGE!

Wishing you all a wonderful and safe summer! And looking forward to reconnecting with all Duveneck Dragons back on campus on Thursday, August 12th. Until then… all the best, and be well!

Your 2020-2021 PTA Co-Presidents, Chris Hurtt and Chris Colohan

If you haven’t ever logged into UptoUs, go to the link above and click on “Forgot Password” and enter the email address you gave to the school district when you signed your child up for school. Other questions? Send an email to directory@duveneck.org.
