We had a wonderful week at Dooley Schoo! We look forward to our Fall Fest Trunk or Treat event this evening and want to thank our PTA and volunteers for their planning to make this evening a great event! We are also looking forward to the Halloween festivities next week. Please read the details below to prepare your child for a safe and fun day!
Our picture retakes are scheduled for November 13th. Picture Day ID is: EVTBRRNGH.
Dooley’s Halloween celebration will take place on the afternoon of Thursday, October 31st. Students should bring their costumes to school on that day. Costumes must go over their clothing. We will have a costume parade that begins at 1:15 PM, weather permitting. We will parade outside of the building exiting the front doors, down Norwood Street to Bradford and back to the school. Families are welcome to watch our parade from the designated area outside the front of the school OR line up along Norwood Street. Our staff and students enjoy spectators along the route. In order to ensure the safety and well-being of our children, please keep in mind the following considerations:
A party arranged by the PTA volunteers will take place following the parade, in classrooms. Only party volunteers who are assigned to support classrooms will be allowed in the building during parties. We look forward to a fun Halloween!
