Welcome Message from Principal
Hello Verne A. Duncan Elementary Students, Parents, and Community Members,
Here we are at the beginning of year 6 as a school! We have grown immensely as a community and continue to do wonderful things in supporting
our kids. Our staff, students, and community are looking forward to our 6TH year in our beautiful building. My goal for Verne A. Duncan
Elementary is that when people think of excellence in our school district and our state they will be able to look at our staff, students, and
community as a model of what excellence is.
Our school provides many opportunities for community involvement and learning. Our PTO is a very active group and meets once a month.
Parent involvement and community voice are very important to us, as we are all contributors to the education of our children. We continue to
stress physical fitness for students and are looking forward to having school fundraisers and activities that support this.
We will continue our efforts as an Oregon Green School. We stress with students the importance of recycling and taking care of the environment
around them. Along these lines, our hope is to communicate mostly through email and electronic means, so please be sure to update email
addresses and phone numbers should those change at any point, especially if it is mid-year changes.
We will be in our 2ND year as a Right Brain Initiative school, which focuses on incorporating the arts into instruction. Some of our classes will
begin to see the incorportation of an Artist in Residence. Our halls have always been lined with wonderful work from our students and this will
go toward enhancing the work students produce.
Our Outdoor Classroom Project will continue as we work toward funding future phases. You should start to see planting and more hands on use
of this area by students and staff. This will be a great space to enjoy the outdoors and explore science.
I know that the Dragonfly community is looking forward to continued growth and excellence. Please send me any questions you might have and
I will do my best to get back to you promptly—branstetterm@nclack.k12.or.us .
I look forward to meeting all of you and I know we are going to have an amazing 2014–2015 school year at Duncan Elementary.
Sincerely,

GENERAL INFORMATION / REGULATIONS
ARRIVAL AT SCHOOL
We ask that students who walk, parent transported, or ride bicycles to
school not arrive prior to 7:25am unless to attend a scheduled school
activity.
TABOO ITEMS
Please supervise what your child brings to school. For the general welfare of all,
we ask that the child does not bring the following:
1. Toys (unless specifically requested by the teacher).
2. Pets (unless prior arrangements have been made with the teacher).
3. Dogs are in a separate category because of the nature of the problem
they create at school. Please keep them at home when your child
leaves for school. When a dog comes to school, the owners are
called to come to school to take the dog home. If the owner cannot be
located, it is necessary to call the dogcatcher to have the dog picked
up. We earnestly seek your cooperation in avoiding this.
4. Radios, tape recorders, cameras, Walkman®, Game Boy® and other
electronic devices. MP3 and video game devices are allowed on
bus rides.
5. Gum.
6. Candy.
7. Matches, knives, or dangerous articles, as defined by our student
handbook.
8. Unnecessary money.
9. Glass containers
10.Cell Phones. If a parent allows a child to bring a cell phone to school,
the phone must be kept off and out of sight during the school day.
If your child needs to bring money for some after school activity, he/she
should give the money to his/her teacher for safekeeping as soon as
he/she arrives at school, regardless of grade. This prevents loss and
discourages theft.
MEDICAL-DENTAL
TARDIES
We request that students arriving late check in at the office before going
to the classroom.
VACATION TRIPS
If you are planning to have your child accompany you on a trip, which
occurs during the regular school year, please get in touch with the
teacher to determine whether make-up assignments will be required
for the vacation interval. Work missed is expected to be made up. Also
be sure you inform the office so they, too, know of your child’s
whereabouts.
RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION
Parents wishing to have children excused for religious instruction during
the school day should inform the school office in writing, stating the time
scheduled and secure permission to be excused.
PRIVATE INSTRUCTION
Discuss this type of request with the principal.
PARENT CALLS
If your child is sick, has appointments, or is not coming to school, please
call the school office at 503-353-3270 and inform them.
LEAVING SCHOOL EARLY
If it is necessary for a child to leave school before regular dismissal time,
he/she must bring a written note from the parent or guardian stating
the reason. All such notes are to be initialed by the child’s teacher, and
then the child brings the note to the office to be recorded. No child will
be excused (except to the parent) without this procedure.
If you have an emergency and need to call the school regarding a
change of plans for your student, please call before 1:30pm, as the
phone lines become very busy after that time.
If your child has a dental or medical appointment during the school day,
send a note and call for him/her at the school office. The secretary will
have him/her meet you here.

GUIDELINES FOR APPROPRIATE DRESS
EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSURES
• Clothing needs to cover under-garments, chest and
stomach. (Wear sleeveless athletic jerseys that hang under
the armpit with a t-shirt; tank tops exposing straps/midriff/
stomach should be left at home.)
For information regarding North Clackamas Schools, please listen
to the radio or TV, call the district school closure hotline at 503353-6020, or check the web page at www.nclack.k12.or.us.
• S
. horts and skirts should be fingertip length or longer.
• Any clothing that is gang related, profane, offensive, or
discriminates against another person is not acceptable.
• Sagging pants worn below the waist are not appropriate.
Underwear, boxers, or midriffs should not be seen.
• S
. tudents should wear socks and closed toe shoes on PE
days. Otherwise, flip-flops are okay.
• Hats, visors, hoods and sunglasses are not to be worn in
the building.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES
Many schools in the District have tried a new way of purchasing
school supplies for the students. It proved to be a huge
success. So we are asking that you contribute $28 per child to
the classroom supply fund. Any supplies that will be needed
throughout the year will be purchased out of this fund as it has
been found that good deals are available in bulk orders. We do
ask that you buy a backpack for your child so they can carry
homework or notices back and forth between school and home.
We are trying to make this easier for you to access and have
set up a PayPal payment option. You are able to access this by
going to the schools’ website or using this link:
http://www.nclack.k12.or.us/18372051111350290/site/default.asp.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call the office at
503-353-3270.

SNOW ROUTES AND SCHOOL CLOSURES
Two Hour Delay
Schools will be opened, but two hours late. School buses will operate as close to two hours behind schedule as road conditions will allow.
Snow Routes
Bus snow routes may differ from regular routes.
School bus drivers and the individual schools will provide students and parents with information about snow route bus stops. The Transportation Department also has this information.
Kindergarten
When there is a two-hour delay, morning kindergarten classes will be canceled. When schools close early because of inclement weather, no afternoon kindergarten sessions will be held. In the event of a two-hour early release, morning kindergarten students will ride home with the older students on the regular routes.
Early Release
and Activities
When schools must close early, activities will be canceled and early transportation home will be arranged.

GENERAL INFORMATION and REGULATIONS, continued
EMERGENCY INFORMATION
SUPERVISED PLAY
If your child is injured or sick at school, it is very important he/she
has current emergency information on file in the school office. This
information is on the child’s registration card at the beginning of the
year. However, often parents change jobs or sitters, and this information
needs to be communicated with the school office as soon as possible.
This lets us know what your preferences are in an emergency and it
helps us to help your child.
The safety of your child is of prime concern to all of us. Every effort is
made to see that he/she is adequately supervised at all times during
the school day. For his/her own safety, your child should not be alone
on the school grounds before or after school.
EXCUSES
Children returning to school after an absence are required to bring a
note to the teacher explaining the absence. The school urges parents
to use wisdom and discretion in dealing with absences. It is important
that children try to maintain a good attendance record. While it is not
always possible to schedule doctor’s appointments outside the school
day, it is appreciated when efforts are made to do so.
MEDICAL HISTORY
If your child has any specific illness, allergy, or other important medical
history, this information should be given to his/her teacher or the school
nurse and noted on the registration card.
SPEECH
Speech therapy is offered as a service of the district. Screening is done
in the fall; students are given assistance on a priority basis.
VISION SCREENING
Vision is checked in 3rd and 5th grades each year.
ACCIDENTS
If your child is injured or becomes ill, the school will notify you, normally
by telephone. Your listing of other numbers to call if you are not
home is very essential during these emergencies.
STAYING AFTER SCHOOL
It is a school policy not to keep a child after school unless the parent
has been notified. Children may occasionally be asked to stay for
special help.
We strongly encourage you to have some system of knowing exactly
when your child should arrive home and where to go in case of an
emergency.
STUDENT GOING OTHER THAN HOME
All students must have a parent/guardian signed note to be initialed
by the office if he/she is going somewhere other than home. We would
appreciate it if this was taken care of at home before students arrive at
school. This will alleviate many phone calls.
LIBRARY-MEDIA CENTER
This center includes a wide variety of materials besides books. Library
books are checked out for a two-week period, and may be renewed.
No overdue fines are charged.
Students are responsible for damage to textbooks and library books. The
charge assessed is usually the amount of money required to replace
the book.
VOCAL MUSIC PROGRAM
Duncan School will have a vocal music instructor for five days a week.
Their responsibility will be to provide a basic music program for all
students, grades kindergarten through fifth grade.

GENERAL INFORMATION and REGULATIONS, continued
INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT SERVICES
TELEPHONE USE BY STUDENTS
The district provides Duncan School with resources which the teacher
may use in helping with special situations. These resource people are
able to provide assistance in working with students who are having
difficulty in adjusting to a regular classroom routine. They also provide
assistance to teachers in working with students in basic skill areas, such
as Reading and Math.
The school telephone is extremely busy for business calls. Students will
be allowed to use the phone ONLY for emergency situations.
SCHOOL BREAKFAST/LUNCH PROGRAM
We will be using a computerized, "ticketless" lunch program this year.
Each day a breakfast and lunch will be available for students. The cost
for breakfast is $1.80 and lunch is $2.75. Milk costs 50¢. Adult lunch
tickets are $3.95. Checks should be made payable to North Clackamas
School District #12. A monthly menu will be sent home so that you and
your children can determine your choices. Students will NOT be allowed
to charge for lunches! Students who forget to bring their lunch money will
be provided a snack to eat.
HOMEWORK POLICY
Homework fosters good study habits, parent involvement, student
responsibilities, self-discipline and increases academic performance.
The amount of time students spend on homework depends on their grade
in school. The times are an average.
The following items are recommended knowing the time of year, unit of
study, individual students, and teacher:
Grades K Grade 1 Grades 2/3 Grades 4/5
15 minutes 15 minutes 30 minutes 60 minutes
4 times a week
4 times a week
4 times a week
4 times a week
Homework can include individualized reading skills practice, long-term
projects, and other enriching assignments. Teachers will provide a variety
of homework.
Each student will be responsible for completing the work by the assigned
time. Parents will provide a good study environment and work with their
child, or as the need arises.
PROGRESS REPORTS AND CONFERENCES
Regular reporting periods occur three times a year. A parent-teacher
conference will be scheduled during December. Written progress reports
will be completed for the other reporting periods. Parents and/or teachers
may request a conference at other than scheduled times, if desired.
PARENT VOLUNTEERS
We wish to extend an invitation to all parents to volunteer some time to
assist in classrooms. We have been fortunate in the past to have many
parents help in the classrooms and in other ways. If you are interested,
contact your child’s teacher or volunteer coordinator.
LOST AND FOUND
A lost and found department is located at the school. Please mark all
personal items (coats, sweaters, shoes, etc.) with a last name. The
school assumes no responsibility for loss or damage to personal items.
Lost items are displayed at various times during the year in hopes that
the owners will recover their personal property. Items not claimed or
identified are donated to the Clackamas County Clothes Closet located
at Oak Grove Center. Be sure you label clothing so we can return
lost items.
FIELD TRIPS
The teacher will send home a letter notifying the parents about specific
trips. A field trip permission slip is sent home for each trip. Cost of field
trips may be partly subsidized by assessments to students.
FIRE DRILL/LOCKDOWN DRILLS
Fire drills and Lockdown drills will be held periodically during the year,
at least once a month. An exit map is posted in each room. On fire drills
there is to be no running, pushing, or talking. This is necessary to insure
safety and for each person to hear any needed directions.

GENERAL INFORMATION and REGULATIONS, continued
CONDUCT AND DISCIPLINE
Children are expected to be courteous, honest, and considerate of
the rights and welfare of others. The teaching staff and principal are
responsible for school discipline and work closely with parents if problems
arise. Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken when necessary.
The district has developed guidelines that are used in dealing with
incidents that violate the rules of good conduct. See the section on
“Student Conduct” in the North Clackamas District rules and regulations
booklet distributed to all students. In addition to this, there are specific
procedures that have been developed by the Duncan School staff for
dealing with inappropriate behavior.
DISTRICT HIRING POLICY
Notices of job vacancies in the district are posted on the district website.
The district pursues a policy of equal opportunity within its Affirmative
Action Program.
ADOPTED POLICY ON CIVIL RIGHTS
No person shall, on the basis of age, handicap, marital status, national
origin, race, religion, or sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied
the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational
program or activity provided or authorized by the North Clackamas School
District 12. The School District staff is directed to make a continuous effort
to provide equal educational opportunities for students and to eliminate
those conditions which may cause discrimination.
TRANSFER PROCEDURES
If your family plans to move, necessitating a change of schools, the
procedure requested is as follows:
1. Call the school secretary as far in advance as possible.
2. Send a note with each child to his/her teacher.
3. Return all books to the school.
4. Pay bills in office.
Your child’s records with Parents’ Authorization will be transferred to the
new school upon official request from that school.
BUS RULES AND REGULATIONS
Riding the bus to and from school is a privilege for Duncan School
students. The primary responsibility of our bus drivers is to transport
children to school and home again SAFELY.
Students who ride the bus are under the authority of the bus driver.
Students who violate bus rules will be issued a bus citation. Bus drivers
give a verbal warning first, unless it is an extreme incident. Three bus
conduct referrals will result in a suspension of bus riding privileges,
and parents will need to find alternative transportation for their student.
The following are the regulations governing students riding school buses:
• Students are under the authority of the bus driver.
• Students shall stay in their seats and keep hands and feet to
themselves.
• Fighting, wrestling, or boisterous activity is prohibited on the bus.
• Students may be assigned seats by the bus driver.
• Students shall be respectful to the driver, to fellow students and passers-by.
• Students shall not open or close windows without driver permission.
• Students must have permission from parents and/or school to leave
the bus other than at regular stop.
• Students shall converse in normal tones. Loud, vulgar and profane
language is prohibited.
• Animals cannot be transported on the bus.
• Students shall not bring firearms, weapons, or other potentially
hazardous material on the bus.
• Students who refuse to obey promptly the directions of the driver or
refuse to obey regulations may forfeit their privilege to ride on the bus.
• All other district behavior policies apply to students when on the school
bus.

GENERAL INFORMATION and REGULATIONS, continued
HEALTH AND MEDICATION
Should your child become ill or injured during school hours we have basic
first-aid trained staff that can assist your child. You will be contacted for
illness or injury significant enough to require treatment, to talk with your
child for reassurance, or to update you on their health status. The school
secretaries contact the school nurse for health advice as needed. As this
is a community of many children in one building, disease control is always
a concern. We ask you to keep your child home when they have a fever
of 100.5 or higher, vomiting, diarrhea, head lice, open sores, and other
contagious conditions. This will help to keep our school as healthy as
possible. Let the office know if they contract any of these so we can monitor
the classroom for outbreaks. When your child has been sent home because
of illness please use the following guidelines to help with your decision as
to when your student can return to school. If your child has a fever he/she
must be fever free without the use of fever reducing medication (for example,
Tylenol, acetaminophen, Advil, Motrin, Ibuprofen) for 24 hours before they
can return. If they are sick with diarrhea or vomiting they will need to stay at
home until symptoms are gone for 24 hours. For a skin rash or wounds your
child should be at home if the rash is increasing in size or if new sores or
wounds are developing day-to-day, or if rash, sores or wounds are draining
and cannot be covered with a bandage. If your child has a health condition,
allergies, or prescribed medications, please let us know.
When it is necessary for your child to take medication at school, the following
procedure must be followed:
• Medicine needs to be brought to school in the pharmacy bottle by
the parent.
• A medication permission form (available in the office) needs to be
filled out and signed by the parent.
• Over-the-counter medicine will be given only if it is accompanied with
a signed note by parents, and it is in the original container.
IMMUNIZATION
Oregon Law requires all students entering public school for the first time to
be immunized against polio, measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus,
hepatitis B, hepatitis A and varicella (chicken pox).Students who have
already had the disease of chicken pox need not be immunized against it.
Prior to initial enrollment, written verification must be presented to the
school. Please call the school office for more information, if needed.
INTERNET PUBLISHING
Because it is important to keep students as safe as possible, it is
standard practice with the North Clackamas School District not to
personally identify students through the publication of their full names
and pictures on the internet.
While the District or School's Internet Web Page offers a great opportunity
for publishing student work and recognizing their achievements, it does
present some risk to student safety due to the potential exposure to
essentially anyone with access to the Internet.
TELEVISION NEWS/CABLE CHANNEL SHOWS
AND COVERAGE
Often we are called upon to "showcase" our students working and
playing in a variety of situations during the academic year. We receive
opportunities to have our students interviewed for regional television
news programs as well as for the local cable access channel.
In order for your child to appear in any news broadcast, interview, video
that will be shown to a public audience, it is important that you take the
time to let us know your wishes.
Such requests must be in writing and submitted to the principal.
Remember, we also want to be able to reach you by phone, especially in
case of an emergency. Please remember to update the school secretary
of any change in home/work numbers.
