Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! It’s been an exciting summer as we prepare to welcome back our families and meet a new set of kindergarten students. Entering my fourth year as Principal, I’m excited to continue building relationships with our families, community members, and students in order to collaboratively provide a fantastic educational experience for our students. As a community, daily we learn, together we grow.

We will continue to provide this experience to our students through dedicated SEL support, response to student instructional needs, and social experiences for our students and families. These will be our key focuses for the school year. Supporting our students is a priority and we will focus on building and maintaining strong relationships with our students in order to help them feel they have a trusted adult in our building at all times. Our teachers have and will continue to work strongly together to develop and implement a rigorous curriculum for students. Their dedication each week to review and plan for what our community of students needs will be their main focus. Finally, we are committed to developing student leaders in the building. Student voice will be a key focus for us. We want to hear from our students on how we can improve our climate and culture in the building. This includes providing opportunities for students to be more hands on in their educational development and take ownership for the learning of others at Dundee Highlands.

Our All-Star students will seek to hit a home run this year and we are so excited to be providing them with opportunities to grow everyday. We look forward to seeing you all this school year!

Doug Kouri,
Principal
