Please join in on Monday, September 30th in observance of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day. This day honors the Native American children who never returned home from residential boarding schools and survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. It is a day for survivors to be reaffirmed that they matter, and so do those those who have been affected. By wearing orange, we can all commit to the enduring truth that every child matters, every day and everywhere!
Today Mrs. Welk’s class celebrated Johnny Appleseed (Chapman). Activities included apple tasting, creating our own Carmel apples, life cycle and reading activities! 🍎 🍏 🍎

Dufur Families, This is just a reminder that Friday, September 13th, is a Staff Development Day. School will NOT be in session for students.
Parents, the cafeteria staff will soon begin offering seconds of the main entree to students. Seconds are not covered under our free lunch program so you will be responsible to pay the costs for them. Please notify the school if you do not want your child to have seconds and talk to your children so they understand. The cost of seconds range from $1.50 to $2.50 depending upon the age of the student. Please call the school if you have questions.
Congratulations to Camryn Douglas and Carolyn Clausen, who placed third and eleventh respectively at last weekend's middle school cross country meet! Camryn and Carolyn co-op with The Dalles Middle School Cross Country team.
Picture Day Information: Dufur School picture day is September 18, 2024. Please make sure your student is prepared. We do not use a green screen, we use a Gray Screen background so you don’t have to worry about what color your child is wearing. Please think about your background color when ordering so the outfit you and your child choose does not clash nor does it become an exact match to the background color.
Your Makeup/Retake day will be October 24, 2024
