Dunlap Elementary April 16 VIP Lunch
Congratulations to our latest group of VIP students. These students have demonstrated outstanding effort, positive attitudes, and a commitment to kindness, responsibility, and learning. Each grade level has selected their own VIPs, and we couldn’t be more proud of them!
For the safety and smooth flow of our dismissal process, please do not begin lining up for the Dunlap Pick up line until 3:00 PM. Early arrivals can cause traffic issues and block access for the middle school pick up line and for students walking to practices and other buildings. Please park in the high school parking lot until 3:00. Thank you for your cooperation and continued support.
