For Parents & Students
Welcome to Duncan Lake Middle School! As a parent, you are your child's first teacher and a valued member of the educational team. Parent involvement is critical to the success of our students. Letting your child know that school is important is one way of ensuring success. For more information on other ways you can be involved, please contact us for volunteer opportunities.

Student Handbooks
The CCS District Student Handbook provides district-wide information, policies, procedures, and expectations for all students and families. Each school also publishes a supplemental building handbook with information specific to that school, including building procedures, expectations, and programs.
Together, the District Student Handbook and your school’s building handbook serve as the official guide for students and families.
Annual Handbook Acknowledgement
Parents/guardians are required to review both the District Student Handbook and their student’s building handbook each school year. As part of the annual PowerSchool registration process, parents/guardians must acknowledge that they have read and understand the information provided in the handbooks.
