Principal's Message 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

Visitors/Volunteers to Dolvin 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.

End of Year Wrap Up End of Year Wrap Up

- We’d like to say THANK YOU to all the volunteers who made this year’s events possible, like Field Day, Family Fun Night, and most recently, end-of-year grade level parties. We can’t do it without you!

- The Summer Book Swap was a huge success. We received around 900 books and enjoyed watching the students find something new to enjoy reading over the summer! Thanks for bringing in those previously loved books.

- Every student who ordered their yearbook should have received it by now. If there is an issue, please contact the PTO and let us know!
