DuFief Elementary School

DuFief Elementary School celebrated its 25th anniversary during the 2000-2001 school year. A dedicated staff consisting of an administrator, teachers, specialists and instructional assistants educates more than 480 students in Pre-Kindergarten through Fifth Grade. DuFief also hosts a Pre-K language class and a K-5 Learning Center program.

We are part of the Wootton cluster in Montgomery County Schools. Our students attend Frost Middle School for grades 6-8, and then go to Wootton High School for grades 9-12.

DuFief is a Character Counts! School. We are committed to our mission statement Learning to Live, Living to Learn. Working in teams, the teaching staff stresses the education of the whole child: academic, social, and aesthetic. Relating classroom learning to real-life situations, encouraging extensions and enrichment in programs, nurturing character development and integrity, and fostering excitement for learning are the main focuses of education at DuFief.

An active and supportive PTA works to enrich the school's learning environment. Cultural Arts programs, special events and classroom volunteers are part of an integrated curriculum.  Volunteers assist teaching staff in every subject through a variety of tasks and projects. The PTA also directs an award-wining Community Service outreach program.
