Doby's Bridge Elementary News
Welcome to the 2026-2027 School Year!
Week of September 25th
What an incredible week at The Bridge! We are so proud of our latest Dragons of the Month, who were recognized for showing outstanding inclusiveness around our school. Beyond our daily learning, our 3rd–5th grade Dragons had a blast participating in Club Day—getting creative, exploring new interests, and connecting with friends across their grade level.
Building the Bridge Together,
Amanda Kubbs

Dragon of the Month
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!

Lost & Not Yet Found
The Lost & Found will be outside of our main doors this weekend and you are welcome to come check it out to claim any items your student may have lost at school. It will be packed up and donated next week.
Every Day Counts. Every Day Matters.
Visitors & Volunteers
Want to visit for lunch? Students can have up to four lunch visits per school year, with a maximum of two adults per visit. These visits are in addition to any school, class, or grade-level events. We're limiting visits due to space constraints in the cafeteria.. Lunch visits began on Monday, August 24, to allow students time to learn our cafeteria procedures.
Volunteers/Visitors in the classroom: 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. Sign up to volunteer here!
Spirit Night - Whit's Frozen Custard
Treat yourself to some What’s Frozen Custard and support DBES at our next Spirit Night! A portion of the proceeds will go directly toward supporting PTO events and classroom resources.
Bring the family, grab a sweet treat, and help support our Dragons on September 30th!
