Doby's Bridge Elementary News

What an incredible Spirit Week! A massive thank you to all of our students and families for bringing so much energy, creativity, and enthusiasm to school each day. From showing off your spirit wear on Team Day, getting cozy on PJs Day, rocking your wildest hair and footwear for Crazy Socks and Locks Day, to bringing along your favorite snuggle buddies for Stuffie Day, you made the week unforgettable!

To top it all off, our students ran their hearts out during the Booster Fun Run. Thanks to your unmatched generosity and support, we didn't just meet our fundraising goal—we completely shattered it by raising over $74,000 for our school! Thank you for making this week a resounding success!

Building the Bridge Together,

Amanda Kubbs

Principal

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 and making this fundraiser a HUGE success!

As we work together to keep our school grounds safe and efficient for every student, please take a moment to review these important arrival, drop-off, and dismissal reminders:

Morning Arrival & Drop-Off

• Walkers and Bikers: Students who walk or ride their bikes to school should not arrive on campus before 7:05 AM, as supervision is not available prior to that time.
• Car Line Drop-Off: If you are dropping your child off in the car line, please ensure students remain inside the vehicle until 7:05 AM, when our staff begins monitoring unloading.
• Neff Court: Please do not drop students off on Neff Court. It is not an authorized unloading zone and creates safety hazards for both students and local traffic.

Afternoon Dismissal & Car Line

• Passenger-Side Loading: For safety and efficiency, all students must enter and load into vehicles strictly on the passenger side.
• Remain in Vehicles: Drivers and adults must stay inside their vehicles at all times while in the pickup line to keep traffic moving smoothly.
• Pull Up to Your Cone: Please pull all the way forward to your designated cone in the car line before stopping to let your student load.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our students safe at both the start and end of every school day!

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!
