If your students still have library materials checked out from last year, please send them back to school or drop them in the book drop at The Dalles Public library. If you are unsure if your child still has library books, feel free to email me and ask (sarah.tierney@dufur.k12.or.us).
Tomorrow’s Garden Club starts at 9 am for Middle School, 12 pm for Elementary School. High School Club is postponed until next week.

A reminder that today is the day for food box delivery/pick-up, if you're unable to pick them up mid-day, they will be available at the school from 5 to 7 pm this evening.
Parents please use the front parking lot for drop off and pick up of your students. We've created a bit of an issue on Klingler Street with vehicle and foot traffic. The front parking lot will be for drop off and pick up only. Adults will continue to be there to help all students enter the building safely.
Thank you for your help!
Thank you letter from Superintendent Henderson.
Yay! We finally have students in the building today. Welcome back K-3 "B" Group!
