Week of August 28th

Greetings Dragon Families!




What a fantastic week at Doby's! Kindergarteners celebrated color week with enthusiasm, and our kindergarten through second grade students participated in club day for showing FIRE expectations. We also celebrated our August Dragons of the Month for demonstrating this month's character trait for being friendly. It has been a great week to be a Dragon!



Building the Bridge Together,

Amanda Kubbs

Dragons of the Month Dragons of the Month

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 friendly 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!

Visitors & Volunteers Visitors & Volunteers

We are excited to welcome visitors and volunteers into our building!


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!
