About Us

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to Ducketts Lane Elementary School. A world of excitement, adventures and learning experiences are awaiting you and your child. We believe that a child's first experiences in a public school setting are extremely important in establishing good work habits, routines and positive attitudes, which will influence a child's future in school and society. Our goal is to help all our students become life-long learners. An integrated curriculum presents an educational program that unifies all content areas: language arts, math, science, social studies, health and safety, music, art, physical education and technology. The program is designed to strengthen physical, emotional, social and intellectual skills and encourage creativity, critical thinking and problem solving. Should you have any questions about any of our programs, your child's teacher and I will be happy to talk with you. We highly value strong home-school connections. We hope that you will become active in our school programs, such as volunteering in your child's classroom and supporting the PTA. You are your child's first and most important teacher. Families can do many school-related activities at home to help their children succeed in school. If you have not already done so, sign up for HCPSS News. This is an excellent way to stay informed about school programs, construction updates and transition activities.
