We are grateful for the warmer weather and sunshine this week. We are excited to share the PTA sponsored virtual talent show: 2021 Dooley’s Got Talent. We hope you enjoy seeing some of the amazing artwork and talents that our Dooley students have!
This week, we would like to highlight our specials teachers and share some of the fun things our students have been learning about!
Mrs. Conrad’s Highlight: This week in Music
Ms. Velasco’s Highlight: What’s happening in LMC?
Mr. Pappas’ Highlight: PE Update
Mrs. Thomas’ Highlight: Artist Update
On Monday, we will kick off Happiness Month. We encourage students to wear orange!
Students who are crossing Lowell lane must use the crosswalk at Norwood and Lowell Lanes. For the safety of all children we ask that parents do not encourage children to cross anywhere other than the designated crosswalk. As a reminder, cars cannot make U-turns on Lowell lane, as this is dangerous. We ask that parents wear masks when picking up and dropping off children, as the area may be crowded. Thank you for your patience.
Once again, we are reaching out to our families and asking you to participate in the annual Illinois 5Essentials Survey to provide us with your perspective and help guide our school improvement efforts. The parent survey will be available online through April 2, 2021.
The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete. The survey is administered by UChicago Impact at the University of Chicago on behalf of the Illinois State Board of Education. If at least 20 percent of parents at a school complete the survey, a supplemental parent report will be generated and shared with schools. We are hoping to meet the target this year at Dooley.

The Dooley PTA is coordinating auction baskets/items for the Schaumburg Township Council of PTAs Annual Auction Event and we need your help! Each year the Schaumburg Township Council of PTA’s offers college scholarships to former District 54 students, and summer experience scholarships to current students. The funds to support these scholarships are raised during the STC’s Annual Silent/Live Auction event. Each of the 28 schools in SD54 are asked to contribute.
Since all our Dooley students can benefit from the scholarship funds offered by the STC (visit https://sd54.org/pta/ for more info on scholarships), we are asking the entire school for donations (but make sure to join the Dooley PTA today so you can apply for scholarships).
We are looking for NEW / UNOPENED ITEMS listed below:
Kindergarten Families- Basket Theme “Little Artists”
1st Grade Families- Basket Theme “A Pampered Pup”
2nd Grade Families- Basket Theme “Family Game Night”
3rd & 4th Grade Families- Basket Theme “Beach Day”
5th & 6th Grade Families- Basket Theme “Coffee Lovers”
* We also welcome a Target or Walmart gift card that can be used to purchase additional items for the baskets. Please be sure to include receipt or value amount with gift cards.
* If you have a business, we would love to highlight it either with a product or service donation (with your business named on the auction platform)
Donation items must be dropped off at the school office prior to March 1st.
Please contact Nicole at [email protected] to coordinate other delivery/pick up of donations or with any questions. Thank you for your support to the Dooley PTA!
