A BIG thank you for making sure your students are at school on time every day. Remember we begin at 7:50am. Students can be on the playground before school (starting at 7:40am), when we have teacher supervision. Numerous staff members every morning are stationed at the exterior and interior doors to greet all students before they start their day. All students at Doull are offered breakfast in their classroom every morning and this is FREE to all students. If your child is late they need to enter through the main door and get a tardy slip. Instruction starts at 7:55am, so please be on time so that your son/daughter doesn’t miss instruction. Conferences are scheduled for November 17th and 19th. Teachers are required to meet with 100% of their classroom parents. Please make sure you come in to hear about the learning that’s taking place and how your son/daughter is performing. Some teachers will be adjusting their schedule and will be doing home visits. Please make sure that you are working with your child’s teacher to schedule a conference. This communication between school and home is vital to the success of all of our kids. Sincerely, Ms. Carrigan 1 Lorem Ipsum Dolor October 30th: Costumes may be worn to school all day!
