Dear Duggan Academy Families,
We hope all of you are doing well. We at Duggan Academy are excited to begin the school year, and our teachers and administrators are getting ready to make this an excellent remote learning experience for your student. During this time of social distancing we want to ensure that each of our new 6th graders and returning students continue to have access to high-quality curriculum and assignments.
We plan to deliver instruction through a virtual learning environment, and we need your support to ensure the success of our efforts!
Last spring there was more flexibility to our attendance and grading policy. This fall, grades will return to the standard A-F grading system, and we will no longer use the Pass-Fail grading system. We will also ensure that classes are mostly a daily live experience for your child. Even though we will not physically be together inside our school and classrooms for now, you can still expect your child will receive a high-quality education in a safe, supportive, and successful environment.
If you have any questions, please call me at 413-439-5458.
We believe that ALL students –without exception-can achieve at high levels, and we are committed to ensuring each students’ continuous growth.
Thank you and we hope to “Feel the Love” on our upcoming zoom meetings!
