It was a great week at Dooley School! Thank you to all our families who joined us last Friday evening for Japanese Culture Night. Everyone enjoyed delicious food, listening to Koto Music, Japanese Calligraphy, playing games, and much more! A very special thank you to Schaumburg Oyanokai for hosting this wonderful evening!
We are looking forward to Celebrate Reading and Writing Night next Wednesday, April 24th. We hope to see you there!
Our Staff Highlight this week is Mrs. Hannon and Mrs. Hyndman. We hope you enjoy reading all about their classes!
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. If an unusual circumstance arises the day of, we ask that you please call the office no later than 1:30 PM the day of the change. Students will go home their scheduled way if the front office has not been notified. Thank you!
District 54 is committed to ensuring not only the academic success of each child, but also their social-emotional well-being. Similar to this winter, we are asking for your insight as a parent/guardian in creating the most well rounded picture of your child’s strengths and opportunities for growth. To gather your perspective, District 54 sent families of students in grades 3-8 an email link for each child to the D54 Social Emotional Learning Survey on Monday, April 15. Thank you in advance for participating in this survey, as we believe the home-school collaboration is critical to best support your child’s overall well-being. The deadline to complete the survey is May 10.
We will begin our Always Be Celebrating Dooley Spirit Days on Friday, April 26th.
