Doby's Bridge Elementary News

Greetings Dragon Families!

What a fantastic and fun-filled week it's been at The Bridge! Not only did our students engage in great learning, but we also took steps in building our school community. We were so proud to recognize our August Dragons of the Month, chosen by their classmates for their outstanding character and kindness. We then wrapped up the week with our first Club Day of the year. Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders enjoyed their first Club Day, exploring interests and making new friends.

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 Friendly 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.

DBES Daily Transportation 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.

The DBES PTO is actively seeking community partners to support our most significant fundraiser of the year, the annual Boosterthon, scheduled for Friday, September 19, 2025!
