Dolvin Diary

Good afternoon Dolvin families,

I want to thank everyone for contributing to a great and smooth start to the 24 - 25 school year! I hope that your students are settling in nicely, building new relationships and having fun learning. In Fulton County Schools, it is our vision that every child will learn to their full potential. The staff at Dolvin is committed to making this happen, and we appreciate the support of our families along the way.

We have a Dolvin Family Handbook, which can be found on our website at www.dolvin.org and also at this link: https://dolvin.fultonschools.org/students-families/dolvin-family-handbook. Please take a minute to review this document, it may answer many questions that you may have. If you have any additional questions, please contact your child’s teacher.

Our Curriculum night will be 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm on Tuesday, August 20th, for our Pre-K- 2nd grades and Wednesday, August 21st, for grades 3rd - 5th. This is an opportunity for parents to come learn about what their child will be learning this school year. Curriculum night is an adult-only event, please do not bring your children. If you are unable to attend, your child’s teacher will be able to provide you with the presentation used during the night of.

Thank you,

Andy Stein

Principal
