Doby's Bridge Elementary News

Greetings Dragon Families!

What a wonderful week at the Bridge! We proudly celebrated our October Dragon of the Month students for demonstrating respect throughout the school. A huge thank you to all the families who joined us for the Book Character Parade—our students absolutely love seeing their parents at these fun events!

Building the Bridge Together,

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 Respectful 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!

The Lost & Found is outside our main doors and will remain there all next week. All unclaimed items will be packed up and donated to children in need in York county the week of November 10th. Please stop by and check it out!

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.
