Doby's Bridge Elementary News

It was another fantastic week of learning at The Bridge! Some of our fifth graders got hands-on with science by cooking up chemical reactions—quite literally, while making delicious pancakes! Meanwhile, our kindergartners took learning on the road with an exciting field trip to discover what life is like on a farm.

Building the Bridge Together,

Principal

We want to share an important update regarding our School Resource Officer, Officer Schurig. Starting October 1, he will be taking personal leave through the end of Christmas break due to state retirement plan requirements. He does plan to visit our school frequently during his leave but will not be in uniform. Please be assured that student and staff safety remains our top priority. Our school, district, and local police department are working closely together to find temporary coverage on campus throughout these next couple of months until Officer Schurig returns after Christmas break. We appreciate your understanding and support!

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!

The Scholastic Book Fair is coming October 15–22! Make shopping easy by setting up an eWallet for your Dragon before the fair. You can also sign up to volunteer and help make the Book Fair a success!
