Principal Update - Mr. Spitzley
Doherty Families,
Thank you to the Kindergarten families that joined us last night for our Kickoff! We hope that your student(s) were able to get an exciting peek into the 2021-22 School year. Thank you also families for your patience and for braving the heat as we worked though the structures of the evening! With that being said, we recognize that everything didn't run exactly as we had planned and are working to address some of those areas moving forward. We also wanted to provide an opportunity for families to provide any feedback from the event. If you'd like to take a moment to answer a two quick questions, please click on the link below.
PLEASE READ: First and Second Grade Kickoff
1.) Upon parking and making your way to Doherty we are asking that families and students first head to the exterior door of their classroom. You will be able to drop off your supplies here and take a quick look inside the classroom. (See Map Below for teacher locations, staff will also be available to provide direction.)
2.) After seeing the classroom, if you have any questions for Food Services and Kids Klub, please make your way to the basketball courts near the back playground. Representatives from each will be available to answer any questions.
3.) The last stop will be the front playground. Mr. Spitzley will be near the gate meeting students and families, and the playground will be open for students to enjoy.
We will wrap the first grade kickoff up by 5:45 to allow for first grade families to leave the parking lot. Second grade families, we are asking that you not arrive early for your event as there will be limited parking available.
In the event that you are unsure of your student(s) placements, please make your way to the front office where our staff will be happy to help you.
*Please note, not all classroom teacher are available to attend the event tomorrow night. However, there will be staff members available to provide direction and address questions you may have.
*We recently learned that our transportation representative will be unable to attend the 1st and 2nd grade event. Please see their contact information below if you have any questions.
