Dolvin Diary

Dear Dolvin Families,

At Fulton County Schools, we truly value the feedback from our parents about their experiences with the district. That is why I encourage all parents to take the Annual Parent Perception Survey. This survey allows parents the opportunity to tell us what they think about their student’s schools and the district. While we always make it a priority to listen to our parents, this survey affords us another opportunity to receive your thoughts and opinions.

The survey is anonymous and confidential. Please complete one survey per school where you have one or more students enrolled. The survey will remain open from Wednesday, October 16, through Friday, November 22.

It’s not only parents we want to hear from. Our students’ opinions are important too! Students in grades 3-12 will be provided with the opportunity to take the Annual Student Perception Survey between October 17 and November 22 during the school day. In our ongoing efforts to remain transparent with parents, please take a moment to review the 3-5 student survey

The Annual Perception Survey is currently available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Hindi, and Punjabi. If you or your family would like to take it in a language that is not listed, please email your child’s principal.

The parent FAQ is now available in:

• English FAQ

• Spanish FAQ

• Chinese (Simplified) FAQ

• Korean FAQ

• Hindi FAQ

• Portuguese FAQ

• Punjabi FAQ

To access the parent survey, click https://www.fultonschools.org/AnnualParentSurvey or scan the QR code with a smartphone. Thank you in advance for making your voice heard!

We are thrilled to announce that our upcoming Book Fair will take place from October 18th, to October 25th!

We've had a last-minute change and are switching back to Scholastic as our vendor. Scholastic offers a fantastic selection of books for all ages, ensuring that there’s something for every young reader to discover.

Parents who already added money for their children under the old vendor (Bedford Falls) will be refunded. Please allow 2-3 weeks for the refund to clear. If you do not receive a refund, please contact Jenn Culbertson at culbertsonj@fultonschools.org.

We encourage everyone to visit the Book Fair, which will be set up in the school Media Center. Parents can also come shop as long as they sign in at the Dolvin front office. Every purchase helps support our school’s reading programs and Makerspace activities!

For more information about the Book Fair, including how to put money on your child's digital wallet, visit the Dolvin Book Fair homepage.

On that page, you will also find volunteer opportunities.

Thank you so much! Happy shopping!
