✏️📚 Learning in Action at Horace Mann!

Our 3rd graders were up and moving today as they learned about simple and compound sentences. Students searched the classroom for sentence cards, then marked their sheets to show whether each one was simple or compound.

Hands-on learning like this makes grammar fun while keeping students active and engaged!

🧩 Yesterday in Tween Life, our middle school students tackled a fun teamwork challenge!

Working in groups, they first completed a puzzle with the picture side down, then tried again with the picture face up. The activity showed just how important communication, patience, and teamwork are—especially when the “big picture” isn’t clear.

It was a great reminder that when we support one another, even tough challenges become possible! 💡👏

✨ New Support for DPS Families: Meet Our School Based Family Specialists! ✨

Duncan Public Schools is proud to introduce a brand-new resource for our students and families: School Based Family Specialists.

These specialists are dedicated to walking alongside families, offering support and connecting them with resources that help students thrive both inside and outside the classroom. While they work closely with the Department of Human Services, they are DPS employees here to serve our students, our families, and our schools.

Their focus will include:
✅ Supporting families with child welfare needs
✅ Addressing truancy challenges
✅ Connecting families with community resources tailored to their needs

We are excited to welcome two School Based Family Specialists to our district this year! Take a moment to read their bios so you can learn more about the incredible people stepping into these important roles.

At DPS, we believe that when families thrive, students succeed. Every child deserves a champion, and these new positions add even more champions of excellence to our team, investing in the success of every student. ❤️🖤
