Ahoy Navigators!
We are winding down to the last six weeks of school, it is a very
busy time of the year, be sure to check the calendar for upcoming
events. Last Thursday, April 30th was Conference Night as well
as Doby’s First Art Show. Thank you to the families that were
able to attend and see these wonderful pieces of art produced by
5/3-5/8
our students. As always, we are proud of our Navigators.
I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thanks to all 5/6
the dads and kids that came to school on April 18th to help with
our PTA landscaping project – everyone worked so hard! The 5/7
front of the school looks so different and very attractive. We plan
on continuing this project on the south side of the campus in the 5/19
future, so when the call comes, I hope you will consider joining us.
5/20
On May 7th, the Doby Chorus and Modern Band will be hosting
5/21
their annual Spring Concert for your enjoyment. Be sure to come
out in support of all their hard work and preparation for this 5/25
event, it is sure to be a treat. Please look for more information
coming to you shortly from Mr. Vyborny & Ms. Tower regarding 5/28
this event.
Parents, please discuss safety with your child. We have had
students walking through the staff parking lot in the mornings.
Although teachers are not on duty until after 7:30 AM, we do
have some that arrive early. It is often still dark out in the
morning and children may be hard to see. Please make sure that
your child uses the sidewalks.
June 5th, is last day of school and is an Early Release day.
Reports cards will go home with students that day. Due to
attendance not being placed on the report card until that day, no
report card will be released early. If your child is not in
attendance the last day of school, an adult will need to come by
the office between the hours of 8:00-11:30 AM or 1:00-3:30 PM.,
on June 8th, to pick it up. Remember, you must be listed on the
student’s emergency card and have a state-issued photo ID to have
the report card released to you.
