Dear Duquesne Community,

The new school year has begun and we are pleased to report that enrollment is up at Duquesne Elementary.  More students are attending our school and riding our buses than in previous years.  As a result, this change has caused some delays in bus service on the first few days of school.  We apologize if either you or your child have been affected.  Please know that we are working as quickly as possible with our transportation provider, PA Coach, to correct these issues.  We will continue to keep the community informed as more bus routes and stops are added.

Thank you for your patience and flexibility, and thank you for choosing to bring your kids home to Duquesne Elementary School.

Sincerely,

Eric Harper, Principal

Duquesne Elementary School

Sue Moyer, Superintendent

Duquesne City School District

Duquesne Elementary Student-Hero Receives National Honor

In recognition of his bravery, in May Arnez was awarded the AAA School Safety Patrol Lifesaving Medal.  He was one of only four students in the nation to receive the award this year, and was honored in front of his classmates during an assembly.  In the last 99 years, the award has been given to only 463 individuals.  Earlier this year, Arnez received the Duquesne City School District’s Heroism Award.

The administration is pleased to announce that it has received a $79,279 school safety grant from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Deliquency's School Safety and Security Committee. The grant will be used to fund school safety initiatives.  Go Dukes! #DuquesnePride
