Happy Holidays!
From the entire staff of Dorr Elementary, we wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season filled with laughter and memories to last the whole year through. We appreciate each and every one of our students and their families. Enjoy the break and we can't wait to see you all in 2019!
New Way To Pay
Preschool payments can now be paid online via your parent portal! Just sign in to your parent portal, choose your student from the drop down box, then choose payments on the side menu bar. There you can check your balance and make credit card payments. Please do not use the old RevTrak link on our webpage. Doing so results in lost payment and incorrect allocation of payments. You may also pay your payment in the office with cash or check. Sorry, we are not able to take credit card payments in the office.

2nd Annual Zumbathon A Success!
It's the season of giving and Aneka vanBaal organized an event that gave back to families of Dorr Elementary in a big way! Aneka teaches Zumba classes around the area. She organized the 2nd Annual Zumba Around The Christmas Tree for Dorr Elementary. She lead a group of amazing ladies through Zumba routines for 2 hours and raised $2000.00 to support kids in need for Christmas. What a great way to celebrate the season! A special thank you to Aneka and her team for another great event! Thanks for all you do for our kids!
Winter Weather Alert!
Students have outdoor recess unless the windchill reads below 0. Please send your child with appropriate winter gear. Labeling all winter gear with at least a last name will help teachers make sure that stray gear gets to its rightful owners. If you have a young child, practice putting on gear and zipping coats. This will ensure your little one gets more recess time and less waiting for the teacher time!
Be Prepared!
Accidents happen. Make sure your student isn't stuck in wet pants, crying over spilled milk. Pack an extra outfit in a Ziploc and slip it in their backpack.
Our supply of "loner" clothes is low! We are in need of:
- Boys and Girls pants size 5 and up
- Boys and Girls shirts size 5 and up
- Boys and Girls Underwear size 5 and up
