Celebrate Education Week
This year, we invite you to join us during the week of October 10 – 14, 2016 to celebrate education.
Please know that you are welcome any time this week, but to maximize on our parking, you will find below the visitation schedule for your child’s grade level. Teachers will follow their normal schedule and routines of teaching lessons and engaging students. Please take this opportunity to share a reading lesson, math lesson or art class with your child. Observe how our teachers are integrating technology into the learning process.
Please sign in at our courtesy desk in the lobby. At the end of your visit, please write your thoughts about your experience or the Doyle community on our Celebrate Education Bulletin Board. Out of respect for our students, teachers, and the learning process, we ask that parents not bring younger siblings into the classrooms.
We look forward to welcoming you to Doyle Elementary and sharing as partners in your child’s learning.
TAOD Instructions
Dear Parents:
As part of the Central Bucks School District Elementary Health Curriculum, a unit entitled Tobacco, Alcohol, and Other Drugs is taught to pupils in grades K-6. The primary purpose of this program is to educate the children on the negative impacts of tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs, as well as the impact of negative peer influences.
Your child’s teacher will teach researched-based lessons developed by Central Bucks teachers and certified school nurses using HealthTeacher.com as a resource. In order to deliver a consistent, cohesive curriculum, all Central Bucks teachers will deliver this curriculum during Red Ribbon Week, October 19-30. Course level goals and objectives can be found on the school district’s website: http://www.cbsd.org/Page/1497
A PDF version of the PowerPoints (instructional curriculum) used in the classrooms can be viewed at http://www.cbsd.org/Page/24978 . Should parents wish to have their child excused from the program, they should send a written request to the attention of the principal.
As always, please do not hesitate to call with any questions.

CB Cares
CB Cares: October Boomerang Award
Young person accepts and takes personal responsibility for his/her behavior. They take responsibility for their actions and decisions at home, and/or at school, and/or in the community.
Nominations are due by October 24.
September Nomination: Asset #2: Positive Family Communication
Ernie is a kid who communicates in our family. He is always the kid who asks his siblings if they have what they need (sports gear, homework, water, lunch). When his sister's team was short 4 players last weekend, he put on his brother's shirt from an earlier game, and helped his sister's team (they would have had to forfeit, there weren't enough kids on the field). When he wants a treat, he offers to get it for everyone - not just himself.
The best part of all he does? He does it without complaining.
He has become such a great communicator, peace maker, and leader.
