    Dear Duxberry Arts IMPACT Elementary Families,

    Welcome back! We hope you had a wonderful and restful summer break and are excited to begin a new school year filled with learning and growth.

    As we kick off the academic year, we want to extend a warm welcome to both new and returning families. We are filled with hope and optimism for what lies ahead. Our dedicated team and staff have been working hard to prepare exciting and engaging lessons, creating a supportive and engaging learning environment and implementing protocols to ensure the health and well-being of every student and staff.

    As your Principal, I am dedicated to ensuring that Duxberry remains a place where every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential. Together with our amazing educators and staff, I am committed to a positive and enriching learning experience for all students.

    Duxberry made substantial improvements in Reading and Mathematics proficiency rates this year. Looking across all grades, our school had the 3rd largest overall gain in ELA proficiency and the second-largest overall growth in Mathematics proficiency in the entire district. Go Dragons!

    Here are a few highlights and reminders for the upcoming school year:

    · First Day of School: Wednesday, August 21st. Please ensure your child arrives on time, prepared, and ready to embark on a new year of learning.

    · School Supplies: Attached to this letter, you will find a list of school supplies requests for your child's grade level. Please ensure your child comes prepared with these supplies.

    · Communication: Open communication between home and school is essential for your child's success.
