Hello Doolittle Families,

It’s hard to believe this was our last week of September! With the high temperatures it seemed like we were still in the first few days of school.

Now that we have been in school for a month, students have settled into routines and have had an opportunities to demonstrate some of their academic strengths and needs.

Take a moment to ask your child about his or her favorite activities and academic subjects in school. But also ask about what they think they need to work on. If you have questions be sure to email or contact your child’s teacher.

Parent Conferences are coming up in October. If you have NOT scheduled a conference yet, contact the school and we can set one up for you.

Upcoming Dates:

Wednesday 10/4 - Early Dismissal at 12:40

Monday 10/9 - No School

Tuesday 10/24 - Early Dismissal at 12:40

Thursday 10/26 - Early Dismissal at 12:40

Hello Doolittle Families,

Today was our first Doolittle Town Meeting of the year. Six times during the year the whole school gets together in the gym. Our Town Meetings are completely run by the students. Two 6th graders serve as Emcees and introduce groups of students who share “spotlights” on different things going on at our school. Some of the Spotlights that were shared today included:

• information about the 6th grade community service project - Recycling Club

• 6th graders telling about the upcoming Geography Bee

• students singing the Doolittle School Song, “Welcome to our World"

• Emcees introduced Quiz-O-Matic, a game show where students answer questions from their current curriculum

• Several students shared about their summer reading and the projects they created

• I spoke about using the Mood Meter. 

Town Meetings are a very important part of the Doolittle School culture. Students learn from one another, model appropriate behavior and practice their public speaking. 

Providing Independent Reading Time EVERYDAY is a must at Doolittle School

Hello Doolittle Families,

Our Open Houses went very well this week! Many thanks to those families who were able to attend. Teachers were excited to share information about class routines and procedures as well as grade level curriculum with you.

It is my hope that our Open House nights will open lines of communication between families and Doolittle School staff. Communication between home and school is a vital component of students’ academic and social success!

Please call or email the school or your child’s teacher if you have questions or concerns.

The Doolittle PTA has some New, Cool Doolittle Spirit wear this year.
