What an exciting week we had welcoming our kindergarten students to Dooley! They are having fun learning about our school community and making new friends. It is nice to have all of our Dooley students together! A special thanks to our PTA for hosting our first Tears and Cheers event for our kinder families!
Our school spotlight this week is Mrs. Tufexis’ 6th grade dual language class. 6th graders had many shining moments this week. They were especially helpful as student patrols for our kindergarteners during arrival and dismissal. We hope you enjoy the Room 220 Highlight!
