Dundee Elementary School

Attention Dundee Families, Next Wednesday, April 26th at 2:30 pm the district’s Sex Education Advisory Board (SEAB) will be holding a meeting in the middle school media center. An official meeting notice will be shared soon. Leading up to this meeting the district is hosting two opportunities for the public to view the videos that are on the agenda for approval. If you’d like to preview the elementary school, middle school, and/or high school videos, please join us during the following windows of time: Thursday, April 20th from 10:00 am to 11:00 am or Tuesday, April 25th from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Interested individuals should enter using the main middle school entrance at 420 Ypsilanti Street, Dundee, MI 48131.

We'd like to remind you that all buildings have a half day of instruction tomorrow, Tuesday, April 18th. Below is the message from last week that was shared when this change to the schedule was made. ---- This last week our Dundee Family lost a cherished member of our teaching staff and community. To allow our staff and students the opportunity to show their respects to their beloved friend, teacher, and staff member, Dundee Community Schools will be transitioning from a full day of school to a half day of school on Tuesday, April 18th. Release times on that day are as follows: - Riverside Academy - 10:40 am - Dundee Middle School - 11 am - Dundee High School - 11:03 am - Dundee Elementary School - 12:05 pm. Thank you for your cooperation during this difficult time.
