Doby's Bridge Elementary News

Greetings Dragon Families!

It was another great week at school, full of community and fun! Our Student Ambassadors displayed their scarecrow for the local Scarecrow Crawl. We celebrated our "Dragon of the Month" students for their wonderful inclusivity. Meanwhile, our Kindergarten classes enjoyed their first field trip to the farm, where they learned about the lifecycle of a pumpkin and met live animals! We hope all of our families have a wonderful and safe Fall Break!

Building the Bridge Together,

Amanda Kubbs

Principal

Congratulations to the following Dragons for being selected as this month's Dragons of the Month. These students were selected by their classmates for being Inclusive in their classrooms. These Dragons received a DBES swag bag, popcorn, and attended a brief celebration ceremony where parents submitted videos to let their Dragon know how proud they are of their student.

Congrats Dragons!

Volunteers: Classrooms will have several opportunities throughout the year to welcome families to see all the wonderful learning occurring. To minimize classroom disruptions, volunteers assisting teachers with tasks like copying and laminating will continue to pick up materials in the office rather than going directly to classrooms.

Thank you for your interest in helping our Classroom Teachers--your help is invaluable to them! Please see the sign-up genius link to volunteer in our school!

This year we will begin using a Google Form for daily transportation changes. This form will take the place of an email (our prior method). In the event that your child/ren will not go home their normal way, please complete the Google Form below to let us know of the transportation change. This form needs to be completed before 1:00 pm on the day of the change.

To help families engage in common language with our students using the DBES Vision, we have created magnets for families to put on their refrigerators. This magnet can serve as a reminder to our students on how to be on FIRE! If you need a magnet, feel free to stop by our front office anytime to pick one up.

It’s almost Book Fair Time! The DBES Fall Scholastic Book Fair will be open October 16th–23rd during school hours for students to shop with their classes.
