​There's nothing like kicking off a new school year while holding a big award from Omaha Public Schools!

The Dundee Elementary Teachers and Staff won the Silver Award for increasing two NeSA test areas (Math and Writing) by 5% of students meeting or exceeding expectations from last year.  

Reading increased to 93.57% of all students meeting or exceeding the expectations. 

These numbers are fantastic. Recognize how difficult it is to go up 5% when you are already high - making this a HUGE success for our school! 
​
CONGRATS to all the teachers and staff who made this happen!

Enrichment clubs at Dundee Elementary will be starting soon - and we are in need of some ideas and instructors!   

Sponsored by the Dundee PTO, enrichment clubs run after school for 6 weeks at a time.   Last year kids participated in clubs such as crochet, quilting, robotics, lego and running to name a few.  

Do you have a special talent or skill that you could share with our students at Dundee or know someone who does?  If you do, email Caroline Darling at Caroline.Darling@ops.org.   We are always looking for new ideas to make this program a success.

It is officially August - which means it is time to start thinking about school!

If you are enrolled at Dundee Elementary for the 2016/2017 school year, you should have received a letter from the school last week with your teacher assignment and some details about the Back to School night.

A few of the major details from the letter:

• School starts Wednesday, August 17th at 8:50am.
• The Open House and Curriculum night will be held Monday, August 15th from 5:30pm - 7:30pm
• School supply lists (which are optional) were sent home at the end of the school year. 

If you didn't receive your letter, give the school a call to find out your placement and ensure you're enrolled for the coming year.

And we look forward to seeing you on Monday, August 15th. You can join the PTO and even get a free slice of pizza from PTO volunteers.  Or, better yet, VOLUNTEER and help serve!
