Duke Wishtree

Our hallway of wishes was inspired by Katherine Applegate's story "Wishtree" which carries the theme of acceptance and empathy for people of different backgrounds. The school read this book as a read-aloud within their classrooms and were then encouraged to work with their book buddies to create wishes for themselves, others or the world. Please visit our hallway of wishes next time you are at school and read some of the heart felt wishes our kind, caring students are hoping for!

Hello Duke Families!

You may have noticed that the primary report card for grades Pre-K to 2 is designed to provide feedback on your child's progress toward the learning standards for the grade level. Our goal is to provide you with meaningful feedback to help your child learn and grow. To learn more about the standards-based report card, visit the website below. This site also has a link to a survey to give us feedback.

Standards Based Report Cards

St. Mary’s County Public Schools formed a report card committee in 2015 and included representation from every elementary school in the county. The committee revised the pre-K – grade 2 Standards Based Report Card to reflect recent curriculum changes, which was successfully implemented this school year.
