Doby's Bridge Elementary News

Greetings Dragon Families!

It's been a week to remember, filled with fun and school spirit! Our students and staff had a blast celebrating with Team Day, getting comfy for Pajama Day, showing off their wild side on Crazy Locks & Socks Day and cuddling their stuffed friends on Stuffie Day. All of the excitement created the perfect energy for our annual Dragon Dash Fun Run, which brought our community together and helped us raise critical funds for our school. Thank you for your incredible support!

Building the Bridge Together,

Color Run Madness!

Thank you so much to our parents, teachers, families, and friends who made our Booster Fundraiser a success! Our school exceeded our fundraising goal and our students enjoyed a week of non-stop fun. Thank you for your continued support of our school!

This week, our Dragons were asked to check the lost and found for missing items. All items are now outside the main doors and will remain there all of next week for families to check.

Remember to label your children's jackets, lunch boxes, water bottles, and other belongings with their names!

Any remaining items will be packed up and donated to local students in need during the week of September 22nd.

Please note that Friday September 26, 2025 is a 2-hour early release day and we will dismiss students at 12 pm. Students will eat lunch at school. If you have changes for Friday, please complete this form by Thursday September 25, 2025.

DBES Daily Transportation Change

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.

Need a Magnet with our Vision?

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.
