Doby's Bridge Elementary News

Greetings Dragon Families!

What a fun and engaging week we had. We kicked things off with our School-Level Battle of the Books competition, and we send a huge congratulations to all participants for their stellar dedication and love of reading. Our youngest learners in Kindergarten had a special visit from the Fort Mill Fire Department, where they learned vital fire safety lessons. Finally, our Fourth-Grade students enjoyed an incredible field trip to the theater, taking them on a journey to learn about our beautiful planet Earth, the amazing work happening on the International Space Station, and the inspiring roles of animals in search and rescue missions.

Building the Bridge Together,

Amanda Kubbs

Principal

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.
