Duplessis Primary School
This school is amazing. They encourage parent involvement. They communicate with parents daily. The teachers go above and beyond to ensure the students are learning and staying on track. The teachers challenge my little girl every day. This is her first year at school, she skipped kindergarten and is thriving in the first grade. Thank you teachers for doing an amazing job in teaching our children!!
