September 9, 2024

We had a fantastic week at Dooley School! It was busy with our students finishing up MAP testing and settling into routines. It was also nice for our students to spend time outside during recess enjoying the sunshine and nice weather.  We are so proud of our EIM students for a wonderful performance at Septemberfest over Labor Day weekend. Thank you to everyone who came out to support our students!

Arrival and Dismissal Reminders

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!
