Douglas Primary School

First Day for First Graders!!!
Welcome Back, we missed you!

We are so excited to welcome our First Graders to school tomorrow. It’s going to be a great school year!

I was so impressed with our soon to be second graders today as they welcomed the District back to school. Nice job!

In July, the School Committee, members of the leadership team, and representatives from the DTA and DESPA came together to help develop the School Committee’s value and belief statements. We prioritized the following areas: academic excellence, social and emotional well-being, professional culture, family and community engagement, operations, and fiscal responsibility.

Through our work, we developed value and belief statements for each of these focus areas, along with action steps to guide progress toward our objectives. Over the course of the school year, we will concentrate on many of these steps to help move the district forward and ensure student success. While these action items will take more than a year to fully accomplish, they will serve as a roadmap for our ongoing work.

I am grateful to the members of the School Committee, the leadership team, and our educators who dedicated time during the summer to participate in this effort. It was a thoughtful, engaging, and collaborative process that reflects our shared commitment to the success of every student.

Rubicon Atlas This site allows us to share our district curriculum, as curriculum maps. A curriculum map is a tool for organizing expectations for what students should know and be able to do in each subject each year. While we hope that you will regard these maps as valuable tools for understanding what our students are learning, they are merely outlines and do not capture the rich, multi-dimensional curricula we teach.

Reminder about all of the upcoming end of year events and activities happening around the district!

This week is Food Allergy Awareness Week, a reminder that food allergies are serious and can be life-threatening. Some of our students live with allergies to common foods like peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, and more. Please continue to be mindful of handwashing protocols to help keep all students safe. (*Hand sanitizer does not work to remove food proteins, it must be soap and water.) Thank you for your continued support and care! ❤️‍🩹
