We want to remind all Duncan families to use safe practices today with the solar eclipse. The eclipse is predicted to begin at 12:24pm and end at 3:02pm with the peak at 1:43pm. These times are estimates and may vary by a few minutes in either direction. Please review the safety information below on the appropriate ways to view the eclipse safety.
Duncan Public Schools will be observing best practices with all of our campuses today. Duncan School district has purchased protective eye glasses for all students in the district.
If you have any questions about what your student will be doing during the eclipse or don’t want them to participate in any activity please contact your campus directly as early as possible.

With the influx of “Newcomer” students, DPS has grown the services offered their English Language Learners. Newcomer students are students who are new to the country and speak limited or no English. Currently Duncan identifies 280 students as ELL students. The predominant language spoken by these students is Spanish, but there are a total of 18 different languages spoken by Duncan’s ELL students and/or their families. Life in a new country can be challenging and our goal is to make the transition from other countries to DPS as smooth as possible.
We have a special event in January for those families and we hope everyone can make it! #TeamDuncan
