It was another amazing week at Dooley School! It was packed with connection, learning and fun! We were so impressed with the effort displayed by all of our students on their reading and math MAP assessments.
We hope you enjoy the long weekend!
If there is a change in the usual way that your child will be going home, please email the office staff and your child’s classroom teacher in advance. It is most essential to let the office know, as teachers aren’t always able to check email throughout the afternoon. If an unusual circumstance arises the day of, we ask that you please call the office no later than 2:00 PM the day of the change. Students will go home their scheduled way if the front office has not been notified.
Families dropping off their child(ren) during arrival at the Drop and Go on Lowell Lane, please do not park and leave your car to drop off your child(dren). This lane is meant to keep moving quickly so we can ensure the flow of traffic and have our students safely enter the building. Thank you for your help with this!

The current calendar year is set to end on Wednesday, May 28, 2025. In the event of emergency closings, the first two closures would be traditional cancellations. Additional days (up to three), would follow the eLearning structure. This would ensure the last day of school ends no later than Friday, May 30, 2025.
