Doyle Elementary Weekly Update

November 16-20, 2020

A Message From The Principal

Dear Doyle Families,


Next week, November 16-20, 2020, we observe parent/teacher conference week. Monday through Friday, students will have 120 minutes or two hours of live instruction daily. The remainder of the instructional day will feature asynchronous learning. The change to our instructional schedule provides time for teachers and parents to meet and discuss student progress. Please reach out to your child’s teacher if you have not yet scheduled a parent/teacher conference. It is really important that all parents have the opportunity to connect and discuss how your child is progressing during online learning. Please let your child’s teacher know if you are unable to keep your conference date and time. We want to ensure we are able to maximize the amount of time we have to meet with all families during this time.


We also want to notify you that our voicemail system is not in operation as of Thursday, November 12th. We have worked with the company and the IT department in an attempt to service and fix the system. Today we learned the system is not repairable. We are actively seeking a resolution to this issue, and we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. Please use our staff directory (located on our website) to make contact with the office and to message staff. We will notify you as soon as we have an update on our phone system.


In closing, we hope you have a great evening, and we look forward to connecting with you next week.


Sincerely,


Kimberly N. Moore

Do you have your Parent Portal account set up? This is a helpful tool for all parents to use throughout their child's school career within the San Diego Unified School District.


You can view daily attendance, update personal information (phone number, address, email address, etc.), and view grades/standards when they become available.


If you need assistance setting up your account, please email Naomi at nvelezmack@sandi.net

IMPORTANT BEGINNING OF YEAR FORMS NEEDED FROM FAMILIES

Each year we ask parents to sign yearly forms needed for each student. We need each parent to fill out these forms for their students: Health Information Exchange Form (usually a goldenrod color), Universal Consent Form (our district's yearly consent form for parents), and the Free and Reduced Lunch Application (this can be completed online as well). We have linked each form for you in the Red Communication Folder via the Parent Hub. 🌟 LINK UPDATED


Here are specific links to upload your signed Health Information Exchange Form and Universal Consent Forms:




All forms to download and sign are available via the Red Communication Folder, which takes you to the Parent Hub. Forms are highlighted in yellow for easier identification.

SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES

We are here to support the social emotional needs for our students as families as we navigate these challenging times. Our school counselor, Kylie Ripley, has created a Google Survey to help us better understand the needs of our students and families. Please use this link to access the survey: Doyle Families Counseling Survey
