Dolvin Diary

Dear Dolvin Families,

This is an important reminder regarding carpool safety. During morning arrival, a staff member is actively directing traffic at the top parking lot to ensure the line is moving smoothly. The drop-off line cars take priority over the cars parked in the top lot to achieve this. Pulling around other vehicles or entering the line from behind staff supervision places everyone at risk. Please follow the directives of school staff and police officers to help us keep a smooth and safe carpool process. We also encourage families to aim to arrive at the school by 7:20 to avoid the heavy rush of traffic near the tardy bell (7:40am). Thank you for your cooperation and partnering with us to keep our campus safe for all.

Please enroll your rising kindergartner for 2026-2027 now! Please visit our website at Registration - Dolvin Elementary School for all directions. If you have a parent portal, you can go into the portal and click on MORE/Online Registration/Existing Family Registration/Next Year 2026-2027 to get started.

Once the application is submitted, please reach out to Lisa Carper at carper@fultonschools.org with the application number.

If your child is currently attending Dolvin for PreK, they will be automatically enrolled for kindergarten. Please let us know if your current PreK student will not be attending Dolvin for kindergarten by emailing Lisa Carper at carper@fultonschools.org.

All items not found by May 22nd, will be donated to charity.

On January 5, 2026, we implemented an updated safety procedure. Any adult entering Dolvin ES must present their physical state-issued ID card. The ID must be scanned in the front office if attending a conference, volunteering, lunch with a student, etc. A government-issued passport will no longer be an acceptable form of ID for anything other than student checkout. Because the current state law/district requirement is that visitors be checked against the Sexual Predator/Offender database, a passport-only visitor cannot be processed in a way that meets that requirement with the current system. The district is evaluating an approved alternate process that would maintain compliance while addressing passport-only cases. The recommended procedure will be shared as soon as it’s finalized.

In the meantime, Mr. Stein can address and support any individual families that may be impacted by this. Those families should reach out to Mr. Stein directly. They will not be denied access, it will just look different depending on the specific situation and individual request.

For more information about this policy please see: View Board Policy KM: Visitors to School. Thank you for understanding.

Please reach out to Mr. Stein or Ms. Boateng with questions.

Make room on your bookshelves and prevent the “summer slide” -- the Summer Book Swap is coming!

This new event brought to you by the PTO is simple, yet so rewarding. It’s a chance to:

- Clear away books your kids no longer read

- Find those previously-loved books a new home

- Excite young readers with new-to-them titles

- Encourage summer reading

Families can drop off clean, gently-used children’s books to the labeled boxes in the front lobby during school hours, now through May 15th. Then, during the End of Year parties, students will select one or more books from the collection to take home

We are seeking volunteers to help organize the books that are donated. Email: e.finn@dolvinpto.org

We would love for you to join the PTO Board next year. The fun and educational things our students get to experience take a lot of teamwork from parents and staff and volunteers to make it happen.

We have several open positions and can make it work with your schedule, depending on your level of availability.

If you have any interest for the 2026-2027 PTO board, please fill out this short form!

There are 15 remaining plain 5th grade “Stepping Up” sign orders to be picked up by PARENTS in the front office.

Parents must sign off on the order sheet to confirm pickup.
