Dufur Salmon Day Spectacular!
The High School Environmental Science class created and presented lessons that guided Ms. Dawkins’ 3rd graders in an exploration of salmon and stream health. Fun and learning were had by all!
Thank you to Ms. Boles and her shop class for cutting birdhouse kits for the midlevel greenhouse class - we had a blast building and painting them! Thank you to Diane Wilson for the use of her hammers and nails, and to Jim and Phyllis Olson for volunteering their time and tools to help us with this project!
The mid-level classes celebrated the end of the school year with a Slip n' Slide and summer refreshments!
The Dufur School Board has adopted a calendar for the 2022-23 school year. You can print a copy from our website, or pick up a copy from the office.
Graduation was Saturday, June 4th. Here a just a few pictures of that amazing day!
Mrs Miller’s 2nd grade ended the year with all things camping from camp themed math and reading, to STEM building marshmallow towers and solar ovens to make s’mores!
The 3rd Grade was able to help save Fred! The poor little worm fell out of his boat and needed to get to his lifesaver. Each group of partners were only equipped with paperclips, but they were able to figure out lots of ways to get the lifesaver around him so he could get to safety.
1st Grade took a Field Trip to the Riverside Gymnastics Academy for My Day Friday. They had so much fun trying out new things, and especially loved jumping into the foam pit.
Happy last day of school! This is just a reminder that today is an early release for students at 1:00 p.m. Have a wonderful summer break!
Here are some more pictures from OMSI's Radical Reactions visit. Ms. Dawkin's class enjoyed their presentation.

Our 4th Grade enjoyed the OMSI Radical Reactions chemistry presentation this morning!
Dufur School would like parent feedback on the MyDay Friday schedule that was piloted this spring. The purpose of the MyDay Friday schedule was to keep two full-day Fridays of school per month with extension opportunities for students throughout the day such as field trips, artists in residence, and career exploration. The MyDay Friday schedule also eliminated early release Wednesdays, replacing them with one full-day of staff development per month, with childcare provided to parents who signed their students up. Finally, one Friday per month (barring there were no holidays with the exception of Memorial Day) was reserved as a mental health day, with both students and staff having the day off.
