Dolphin Dispatch

It's that time of year when all the school supplies go on sale. Here is the Dodson suggested school supply list, so you can take advantage of those deals! We hope you are having a relaxing and memorable summer and look forward to seeing you at the start of the 2026-2027 School Year!

As we prepare for the 2026-27 school year, we want to share an update to our student water bottle guidelines:

• Water bottles must be small enough to fit in the side pocket or main pocket of the backpack zipped up for a hands free arrival and dismissal.
• Water bottles must have a top that completely closes to prevent spills on desks and in backpacks. If the water bottle has a straw, it should be covered by a lid when not in use.
• Plastic water bottles are suggested as they are light, compact, and fit little hands.
