WE DID IT AGAIN!
We are thrilled to announce Dodson Elementary has been named a Reward School by the Tennessee Department of Education for two consecutive years! Reward School status is earned when a school demonstrates high levels of performance and/or growth. This award was granted to a very few, elite schools across the state. We know this is a culmination of hard work from our faculty, staff, students, families and community members. We will continue to reach higher. The possibilities and potential among our students is endless!

Dodson's Word of The Month
Empathy: Teh ability to understand and share the feelings of another person.
Please support our efforts at school by reinforcing our word of the month at home.
Parents can model gratitude for their kids by describing what they're thankful for aloud every day. This could be sharing something positive they appreciated during their day or general gratitude about health, family etc.
