The Hornet's Nest
For Dodd City Elementary Hornet Families
From the Principal's desk.....
The count down has begun! It will be summer before we know it. Please notice the calendar and all the many activities we have in the short few weeks before school is out.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Munger
STAAR Testing Is Upon Us
While we don't believe this test is the only indicator of a student's success or ability in the classroom, there are several factors that make this test an important test for our school and your student.
House Bill 4545 now mandates that students who are unsuccessful on any STAAR test must receive 30 hours of accelerated instruction in each subject in which they were unsuccessful. This instruction will be given during the summer and during the school year next year.
Field Day! Is May 23rd....
SETTLE UP! : )

"Take-Out" Food for Lunch
Please remember that we are not allowed to make "take out" food deliveries from the front office. We have a special table reserved for lunch "dates" with parents. If you bring "take-out" for your child, please plan to stay and eat with them. Also please visit the office at their lunchtime for a visitor's badge before entering the cafeteria.
