6th Graders during Goodbye Parade
We had fun celebrating our Dooley 6th graders during their final walk around the building!

It is hard to believe that the end of our school year has arrived.  We are so proud of our students for demonstrating grit and showing kindness throughout our school year.  On behalf of the Dooley staff, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of our families for the continuous support, positivity, and patience. 

Thank you to all who came out to Menchie’s last week.  Dooley PTA received a check for $247 from this fundraising event.

We wish everyone a fun and healthy summer full of magnificent moments! 

Incoming students to Addams

As a way to sharpen math skills over the summer we are encouraging all incoming 7th and 8th graders to work on the ‘Delta Math Online Problems’.  Directions on how to access the material is posted on the Jane Addams website.  This is a great opportunity for students to keep and improve mathematics skills. DreamBox accounts are also active and available for students to work on throughout the summer.  Please feel free to contact Kathleen Cipolla, Addams Mathematics Department Chair with any questions.  [email protected]
