We had a wonderful, fun-filled week at Dooley School! A very special thank you to our PTA volunteers for planning our parties on Halloween. We were so impressed with all the creative and engaging activities our volunteers came up with. Our students had a great time! We also enjoyed celebrating our students during our November PBIS Assembly today. We talked about setting goals for our SEL themes of the month; Fairness, Honesty, and Empathy. Please read below for additional information about our SEL themes and how you can support at home. We are so grateful for your partnership!

November SEL Monthly Themes

During the month of November, we will be talking about Fairness, Honesty and Empathy and would like to share ways you can continue the learning at home. Here are some discussion questions you can talk with your child about:

What does it mean to live with integrity?
How did you demonstrate Integrity this week?
How can you show you care about others?
Why is it important to understand people’s feeling?

Picture Retakes

Our picture retakes are scheduled for November 13th. Picture Day ID is: EVTBRRNGH.
