Principal's Message
Dear Dolvin Families,
As we celebrate the last day of school, I want to thank you for your partnership, support and commitment throughout this 25-26 school year! The best part of my job is the joy that the students bring and it has been joyful to watch them learn, grow and achieve. We are so proud of all that our students have accomplished this year and we are grateful for the strong family support. Next year, our school theme will be “Watch Us Grow!”. We cannot wait to see all of the incredible things our students accomplish next year and the growth that they make. Thank you again for a wonderful school year and have a great summer!
-Andy
Continuous Achievement Review
We have concluded our 36-week Continuous Achievement review. If your child qualified for a placement change for the fall of the 2026-2027 School year, a letter from Ms. Halron went home with your child on Tuesday, May 19th. If you have any questions, please reach out to Carrie Halron at Halron@fultonschools.org.
NEW ENROLLMENTS
If you know of a new family that is coming to Dolvin next school year that has not enrolled, please have them contact Lisa Carper at carper@fultonschools.org.
REQUIRED DOCUMENTS
Per Fulton County Policy, all families must present 2 proofs of residency for all rising Kindergarten and 2nd Grade students. These documents were due on May 18th. Thank you to all of the families that have done this already. If you have not done so, please contact Lisa Carper at carper@fultonschools.org to make arrangements. If these documents are not received, your child will become provisionally enrolled and risk being withdrawn.

Visitors/Volunteers to Dolvin
On January 5, 2026, we implemented an updated safety procedure. Any adult entering Dolvin ES must present their physical state-issued ID card. The ID must be scanned in the front office if attending a conference, volunteering, lunch with a student, etc. A government-issued passport will no longer be an acceptable form of ID for anything other than student checkout. Because the current state law/district requirement is that visitors be checked against the Sexual Predator/Offender database, a passport-only visitor cannot be processed in a way that meets that requirement with the current system. The district is evaluating an approved alternate process that would maintain compliance while addressing passport-only cases. The recommended procedure will be shared as soon as it’s finalized.
In the meantime, Mr. Stein can address and support any individual families that may be impacted by this. Those families should reach out to Mr. Stein directly. They will not be denied access, it will just look different depending on the specific situation and individual request.
For more information about this policy please see: View Board Policy KM: Visitors to School. Thank you for understanding.
Please reach out to Mr. Stein or Ms. Boateng with questions.

Hello Dolvin families,
On behalf of the PTO, I want to thank everyone for all of your support throughout the year. We truly could not have accomplished everything without your help. As the saying goes, “It takes a village,” and we are so blessed to be part of such a wonderful community.
We hope you all have a great summer and look forward to another fantastic year in the 2026–2027 school year.
Thanks so much,
Nancy Nunnelley
