We had a fun filled week at Dooley. On Tuesday, our EIM students had a beautiful spring concert. They worked hard all year and sounded amazing. Today we enjoyed seeing families at Munchkins with Moms. We would like to thank all of our volunteers who helped with preparations. Special thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Mladenovic for chairing this event.
Today, students had fun during our PBIS assembly. Our assemblies each month highlight students, positive behavior and our SEL focus. We always enjoy singing our school songs and being together as one big Dooley family!
Monday is Field Day. Please send your child with a water bottle labeled with their name. Hats and sunscreen are encouraged. The weather is looking beautiful for Monday! Our end of year parties are also next week. We are looking for a few more volunteers. Please see below for information if you are interested in helping out.
Important information for parents regarding medication at school: Please plan to pick up any oral or injectable medications that were here for your child this school year by Friday, May 26th.

Dear Dooley Families,
I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching another action packed school year with all of the children from Dooley Elementary School. As the end of our school year is approaching, it is that time to begin our planning for Field Day. Dooley’s Field Day is a day to celebrate all of the hard work and accomplishments that the students have achieved throughout the past school year. On Field Day, all of our students have the opportunity to participate in games and activities. Our Field Day has been a success in the past due to our devoted parents and Dooley volunteers.
Throughout the day, there are many games and activities stationed throughout the school for all of our students to participate in. Teachers and students rotate and are allotted a designated time at each station as the day progresses. In the past, parents have graciously volunteered their time to help manage the stations and to make this day as smooth as possible for all of the kids. Please know that parents will be facilitating the stations, so you would not be able to bring younger children with you.
This school year, Field Day will be Monday May 22, 2023. We also have a rain date on Thursday May 25, 2023 If you are interested in helping manage stations and games for students on Field Day please fill out the Google Form. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me through phone or e-mail. Thank you and I look forward to seeing everyone on Field Day!
Sincerely,
Mr. pappas
