Hi, Dunloe Elementary School families.

00:00:02.966 --> 00:00:06.233
I am Tricia Faulkner, the building
principal at Dunloe Elementary School,

00:00:06.566 --> 00:00:10.766
and I am very excited to be returning
to Dunloe again this school year.

00:00:11.266 --> 00:00:14.633
I think that we had a fantastic
start last year, and I look forward

00:00:14.633 --> 00:00:18.166
to continuing our work together
here at Dunloe Elementary School.

00:00:19.066 --> 00:00:21.233
I have a few reminders.

00:00:21.233 --> 00:00:24.833
I just want to let you know
that open house for students in grades

00:00:24.833 --> 00:00:28.566
one through five will be on August 7th,

00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:31.600
from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m.

00:00:31.900 --> 00:00:34.833
Open house for kindergarten students

00:00:34.833 --> 00:00:39.233
will be on August 13th
from 5:00 to 6:00 pm.

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:40.400
Please remember that

00:00:40.400 --> 00:00:44.133
for the kindergartners,
this is not just a drop off your supplies.

00:00:44.166 --> 00:00:49.766
This is an actual sit down and meet the teachers so it will start promptly at 5:00.

00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:51.900
Our first day of school

00:00:51.900 --> 00:00:55.366
for our students in grades
one through five is August 11th.

00:00:55.700 --> 00:00:58.700
Please remember that the doors open at 9:05

00:00:58.833 --> 00:01:03.033
and the tardy bell
is 9:15. For our kindergartners.

00:01:03.266 --> 00:01:04.900
They have a staggered-start,

00:01:04.900 --> 00:01:08.366
and what that means is
they don't all start on the same day.

00:01:08.733 --> 00:01:12.700
So you will be receiving a letter
that tells you what day

00:01:12.866 --> 00:01:14.433
your kindergartners will start.

00:01:14.433 --> 00:01:17.400
And we will send that home
on August the 1st.

00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:20.000
Families, please
make sure that you update your Final Forms

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:24.166
so that we can get all of our reminders
and updates sent out to you.

00:01:24.366 --> 00:01:26.566
It is very important
for us to have this information

00:01:26.566 --> 00:01:30.933
so that in the event of an emergency,
we have a way to get a hold of you.

00:01:31.366 --> 00:01:34.000
I am really excited to announce
that our PTA

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.100
that just was established
last year is continuing to move forward.

00:01:39.033 --> 00:01:42.566
And we are trying to get
even more parents involved.

00:01:42.566 --> 00:01:45.533
So if you are interested,
we will have handouts

00:01:45.633 --> 00:01:48.800
for you
to sign up to participate in our PTA.

00:01:48.900 --> 00:01:52.500
We will have those sign-up sheets
at our open houses.

00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:53.966
Families, I'm also excited

00:01:53.966 --> 00:01:58.066
to announce that our PTA will be hosting
a family night at the beginning of August.

00:01:58.066 --> 00:02:01.133
We will send home more information

00:02:01.233 --> 00:02:04.766
closer to the beginning of August via
Final Forms.

00:02:05.066 --> 00:02:08.066
As we prepare for the upcoming school
year,

00:02:08.366 --> 00:02:11.366
parents,
let's set a goal for academic success.

00:02:11.600 --> 00:02:13.266
I want you to encourage your child

00:02:13.266 --> 00:02:16.566
to embrace learning
with curiosity and determination.

00:02:17.033 --> 00:02:20.666
We look forward to supporting them
in achieving their personal bests.

00:02:21.166 --> 00:02:25.366
I hope everyone continues to have a fantastic summer and we will see you in August.
