Douglass Elementary

A heartfelt thank you to all the families who supported this year’s Fall Book Fair! Your participation helps us create a learner-centered library filled with books our students love. All proceeds go directly toward enriching our library space and growing our collection with titles that inspire and engage young readers. We couldn’t do it without you! #togetherweSOAR

1st grade has been learning about community helpers during our shared reading time for the past few weeks. Today we had a librarian from the Eden Public Library come for a visit. She talked about her job, read a couple of stories to our fab firsties, and brought them some fun goodies! Be sure to check out after-school story time at the public library!

Join us for our PTO Skate Night TONIGHT (Sep 23) at 5:30! Don't forget to wear your Douglass gear! We hope to see you there!

Happy Monday Douglass Families! As much as we hate to lose Mrs. Duncan, we are now on the search for another principal to join our team! Rockingham County Schools would like your feedback about the attributes you would like to see in our next principal. They have shared a survey link for all families to complete. We highly encourage you to complete this survey so your voice can be heard. If at all possible, please complete by June 3. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScrGcj9c7oujYe3QNeCtzMzQK4A3RU95vqJXbV5CZ3abOU8NQ/viewform
