Dunlap Families,

Welcome to the new school year at Dunlap Elementary! As your principal, I am excited to greet both our returning students and those joining us for the first time. I hope you have all enjoyed a restful and rejuvenating summer and are as eager as I am to embark on a year filled with learning, growth, and memorable experiences.

At Dunlap, we are dedicated to fostering an environment where every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential. Our committed team of educators and staff have been diligently preparing to create engaging and challenging learning experiences that cater to the diverse needs of our students. We believe that by working together as a community, we can ensure that each child thrives academically, socially, and emotionally.

Communication and collaboration between school and home are key components of our success. We encourage you to stay connected with us through Parent Square, our school website, and social media channels. We also invite you to participate in school events, parent-teacher conferences, and volunteer opportunities throughout the year. Your involvement and support are vital to creating a positive and enriching educational experience for your child.

Please note the following information and mark your calendars with these important dates.

Tuesday, August 6th, 3:30PM 

Class assignments are available on the Aeries Parent Portal. All registration information will be done electronically through the Aeries Parent Portal. Please take a few minutes to update your student’s information and complete verifications on the portal.  If you are new to the parent portal or have forgotten your password, please click the “forgot password” button to receive an email with login information.  Completing this process online takes the place of completing the yearly Emergency Release Cards and will allow you to view teacher information for your child(ren) when published on August 6th after 3:30 PM.  Click here to access the Aeries Parent Portal.
