The 2016-17 school year is slated to start Aug. 17 for all Duncan students.
The previous school year drew to a close May 26, when the district released for a 3-month summer break. Beginning toward the end of July, all Duncan school sites began closing on Fridays and remaining closed until Monday mornings as a way of cutting costs.
Duncan Middle School will continue its usual traditions with the addition of some new classes, including an art class. However, all the core subjects and the electives from the previous year will return.
