Good evening, Tiger families! This is Mrs. Hazelwood calling with Tiger News! This week is also School Lunch Week! We will celebrate our wonderful lunch ladies that work hard each day to provide healthy and delicious meals to our students. Our Kindergarten and 2nd grade students will take their 1st quarter math assessment and 3rd-5th graders will take their reading, math, and 5th grade science assessments. On Monday, our school improvement team will meet after school. The end of the grading period is on Tuesday. Please encourage your child to start strong and end strong. On Wednesday, our kindergarten and 1st graders will take their field trip. Please ensure your child’s permission form and money has been returned. Any parent that wishes to attend must have a volunteer form turned in and drive separately. Students will return to campus at 3:30. Please make plans to pick up your child at this time. Wednesday night is Coaches Spirit Night! Go get dinner at Coaches and let your server know you are from Dobson Elementary! Return your receipt on Thursday for a homework pass. On Monday, running club will meet and on Tuesday and Thursday robotics will meet. Please send a note if your child plans to stay. Our tigers ambassadors are leading a Coin War this week to raise money for Hurricane Helene victims. Students may bring in change and dollars this week in support of this. Please remember that our doors open at 7:35. Any student that is not in their classroom at 8:00 is marked tardy. Please ensure that your child is on time for class each day. Thank you for your help and support! We hope you had a great long weekend! Good night!
Out of an abundance of caution, Surry County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay on Tuesday, October 1, 2024. This delay will help with visibility for bus drivers and allow additional time for families to safely commute to school campuses. Students who ride the bus should plan to arrive at their bus stop two hours later than they normally would. Thank you, have a good evening, and be safe tomorrow!
