Dolvin Diary

Dear Dolvin Families,

What a great first week of school we have had! It is so great to see all the smiling faces and wonderful energy as students get settled into their new classrooms and routines. We are looking forward to an amazing year of growth, achievement, and memorable experiences for all!

-Andy Stein

Please see the below English and Spanish PDF's regarding the process for gifted screening (TAG).

Please send your child to school with everything they need to have a successful day! Lunches, water bottles, homework, snacks, devices, etc., should arrive with your student in the morning to avoid interruption of instructional time. If a child arrives in the cafeteria without a lunch, they will be allowed to purchase one. Thank you and we appreciate your understanding.

Welcome back to what is going to be another wonderful school year in music!

Attention 4th and 5th grade parents: I will be sending an email with Dolvin Chorus information very soon. If your child is truly interested in singing in chorus, meets Dolvin's behavior expectations, and is dedicated to rehearsing and performing, then I would love for them to join! Please read the forthcoming email and the attached chorus information document carefully. Students must maintain good behavior, attendance, and parental on-time pick-up to remain in chorus. If you and your child know that you can commit to the guidelines and dates for rehearsals and concerts, please click the link on the upcoming email and complete the digital online consent form prior to Wednesday, August 19.

Thank you all for your continued support of music programs at Dolvin.

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.

We welcome and greatly appreciate our volunteers at Dolvin! If you would like to be a volunteer, you must complete the Volunteer Registration Application prior to volunteering. For volunteer information and frequently asked questions on the Fulton County Schools website, click HERE.
