Dear Parents,

Can you believe that the summer is over and it’s already time for school?  We 
are in store for a fantastic year.  I am so excited to be part of your 
child’s second grade year.  I am looking forward to getting to know you and 
your child.  It is going to be a great time of fun and learning.  I would 
like to take this time to introduce myself.
My name is Michelle Lea (Lundien) Duley.  I grew up in this area and I am a 
1989 graduate of Carl Junction High School.  I graduated from Missouri 
Southern University in December of 2000 with my Bachelor’s degree in 
elementary education and a specialty certificate in early childhood.  This is 
my seventh year teaching 2nd grade at the Carl Junction R-1 Primary 2/3 
building.  I also have had the opportunity to teach kindergarten, first 
grade, and fifth grade; as well as being a substitute teacher and a teacher’s 
aide.  I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Rick, for 21 years 
and we have two wonderful children.  My daughter, Rickie Lea, is 18.  She 
is a senior at the High School, she loves any kind of sport but her 
favorites are softball & volleyball.  My son, Levi, is 11.  He will be in the 
sixth grade this year.  He is “all boy” and loves being outside playing all 
kinds of sports, especially football.  I enjoy being a part of my children’s 
lives.  I feel that my job as a wife and a mom is very important.  We live on 
our family farm northeast of Carl Junction.  I am thrilled about teaching in 
the Carl Junction School District.
I have attached information concerning our classroom schedules, behavior 
management, homework, book order, etc.  I look forward to working with you 
and your child in the months to come.  I want to keep the lines of 
communication open between the classroom and home so Please let me know if 
you have any questions, concerns or comments about your child.  I want to 
make this year a fun and positive experience for your child.

Sincerely,

Michelle Duley
