September 4th, 2020

Dear Parent/Guardian,

This year we held our annual Open House virtually on September 3, 2020. If you
didn’t have a chance to see it you can go on our website (durkinpark.com ) and
view it at any time. It is a prerecorded message and quick tour of the buildings
followed by a link to every grade level so that you can see the class rosters and
expectations for starting the school year remotely. The timeline on the bottom of
the screen allows you to move through the video and get to the desired grade
level(s) you wish to view. You can also pause the video so you can study the
slides and the information they contain. Every grade level has included
instructions for starting on Tuesday morning.

There will be no Student Activity Fee this year due to the COVID 19 crisis.
Many of the forms that you will need to fill out will be available on line on our
website and you can start doing that anytime. If you are enrolling a new student
other than pre-k, there are forms on the website that you can fill out and bring up
to the school. You must download and copy all forms in order to fill them out on
paper. There is also a list of the documentation that you will need to provide
along with the forms.

I know this is not the way any of us wanted to start the new school year but we
will do the very best to provide a sound instructional program. Please help us out
by making sure your child is on line for all the live instruction that will be
provided this quarter. If you need a device, please notify the school and Mr.
Acosta so he can arrange a pick up time and have the proper forms available for
your signature. Devices will be available starting on August 31st for K – 8th grade
students that need one. Pre-k students will be contacted by
he teacher about devices on September 4 – through September 11
Thank you for your patience and cooperation during these unusual times.

Sincerely,

​Daniel J. Redmond
Principal
