Doyle Behavior Plan - Responsibility
Respect – Responsibility – Cooperation – Citizenship – Academics
For the 3rd marking period, we are focusing on “Responsibility”. Your child’s teacher will be sending home an activity for you and your child to do at home. This activity should be completed as a family and returned to school by Wednesday, February 22. The examples students generate will be used in class activities and discussions during the following week.
Thank you in advance for your help and support.

Book It Forward
In celebration of “Read Across America Day”, Doyle will be hosting a book drive for the Laura H. Carnell Elementary School in Philadelphia. We would like each child to “Book It Forward” by donating 1 new or gently used book (hard cover or paperback) for children ages 5-12. Please have your child bring a favorite book to donate to our “Buddy School” from February 27th – March 6th. If you have questions, please email Mrs. Popma at mpopma@cbsd.org. Thank you for your support for this worthwhile project!
