The final days of the 2024-2025 school year were filled with memorable moments!
We want to extend a big thank you to our PTA and volunteers for organizing creative and engaging end-of-year parties for our students. You truly made these celebrations special!
We’d also like to wish our 6th graders the very best of luck as they begin a new chapter and move on to Junior High next year. We know they will continue to achieve amazing things!
This will be the final Dooley Update of the 2024-2025 school year. We want to express our sincere gratitude to all our Dooley families for your support, encouragement, and kindness throughout the year. We truly appreciate your partnership.
Have a wonderful and relaxing summer!
We know you’re ready for summer, but please save the date for Dooley’s Back to School Night on Tuesday, August 12 from 5:00-6:30 PM.
It’s hard to believe that summer is here! District 54 has exciting opportunities for students to continue learning throughout the summer months. To find out more specifics about our Summer Learning Site, summer reading lists, and DreamBox. These activities are a fun way to help sustain and grow your child’s academic, social, and emotional success throughout the summer months.
School District 54 requires that any student who participates in a team OR intramural sport, (e.g. cross-country, basketball, wrestling, volleyball, cheer, poms, or track) must have a current, approved physical on file in the health office prior to tryouts. The physical must be administered by a physician or nurse practitioner and include the parent section completed and signed.
Since sports physicals are valid for 365 days from the date of the exam, parents of students who are interested in participating in any junior high sport are urged to schedule a physical exam during the summer months. These appointments fill up quickly! A summer check-up will allow the student to participate in any sport throughout the school year. If you have any questions, please go to https://sd54.org/healthservices/ for details.
Sports physicals may be sent to Jr. High beginning August 5th, 2025. Please do not email them before this date as email is not monitored during the summer months. PLEASE MAKE A COPY OF THE PHYSICAL FOR YOUR OWN RECORDS BEFORE TURNING IT INTO THE SCHOOL. A copy of all 8th grade sports physicals will be required by the high school.
It has been such a fun year with the Dooley PTA! We just wanted to send a thank you to all our Dooley families and volunteers for helping make this school year memorable for the Dooley students. We hope you have a wonderful summer and look forward to seeing you in the fall!
