Quarter 2, Week 1

10/15/2021

Very tough day saying goodbye to one of our #DolvIncredible classmates, Brooks! We will miss you and wish you the very best with your move!

One of Mrs. McMann's students, Nolan, cashed in his hard-earned PBIS Rewards points to read to our class this afternoon. Thank you so much for choosing us, buddy!

CONFERENCES ARE "AMONG US!"

Fall Conferences are "Among Us!" The window for the 2021-2022 school year is October 12th - October 29th. If you'd like to discuss your child's progress, please choose a date/time from this Sign-Up Genius (this link will also be posted to my website under the "Parent" tab). You'll be able to indicate whether you'd prefer a phone, video, or in-person conference. Please note that if you would prefer an in-person conference, you must choose a slot after 3pm. I am looking forward to discussing your child's progress with you soon!
