Dear Parents, Students, and Community Members,

I am thrilled to welcome you to our innovative school, where we are dedicated to providing deeper learning opportunities for all of our students.  At Dunn, we believe that education should be a journey of exploration, discovery, and growth as a learner.

In our commitment to fostering deeper learning, we have embraced a curriculum that goes beyond the traditional, encouraging students to think critically, collaborate, and apply their knowledge in meaningful ways.  Our dedicated staff is passionate about nurturing the talents and potential of every child.

We offer a range of programs and activities that allow students to delve into subjects they are passionate about, whether it’s through project-based learning, hands-on experiences, or innovative technology integration.  Our school is not just a place of instruction but a hub of creativity, curiosity, and inspiration. 

As we embark on this exciting path together, I encourage you to explore our website, engage with our staff, and be an active part of your child’s educational experience.  Together, we can create a vibrant and nurturing learning environment that empowers our students to excel academically and develop the essential skills they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education.  We look forward to a year filled with innovation, growth, and a shared commitment to deeper learning.

Warm Regards,

Dr. Tracy Barber
