This quarter is flying by so fast! We are already at Parent-Teacher Conference week.

Our conference schedule is below. Please note that your child will need to be picked up at 12:50PM Wednesday through Friday. Lunch will be served those days as well.

If you do not have a conference appointment with your child's teachers, but would like to speak to them, you can join us in the cafeteria for area conferences. On Thursday, September 19th from 5:30PM to 7:00PM our teachers will be available to chat with you.

Please see the attachment below regarding attendance submission in Synergy. Please submit the information prior to 8:30 to avoid the automated phone message.

We look forward to seeing you soon,

Ms. Meneguin

Our school council is a vital part of the Dodge community. We will share more information and dates in upcoming newsletters.

You can help our students get the most out of school years by making contributions through Arizona's tax-credit programs. Contributing is easy, and the impact is immense. This year, Dodge was able to support students with fees, attend events and competitions, attire for our new folklorico club, and sent students to Sky School.

Everyone you know who lives in Arizona can help improve education at your child's school by making a tax credit contribution.

Every contribution, from $5 to $400, makes a difference.

So please, ask everyone you know to Give Kids the Extra Credit.

In addition to the TUSD Dress Code, Dodge has the additional board approved items.

Dress Code not uniforms – white, light blue or dark (forest) green shirts with collars and sleeves; black or khaki pants. Dresses or Jumpers must be solid colored in black or tan or match the dress code top garment color choices (listed above) in cotton or cotton twill blends. Dresses must have a sleeve or be worn over a dress code top. No pullover hoodies allowed. Jackets with college/university logos are allowed providing the jacket is still able to completely open down the front.

It is very important to us that our children are safe during arrival and dismissal. Please plan for the process to take longer than usual at the beginning of the year. Students are still navigating the campus and learning the process.

The bus bay is located at the front of our school on E. Pima St. There is no parent drop-off or pick-up at this location.

Parent drop off/pick up:

To use our main parking lot entrance, follow the flow of traffic around the lot. Students will enter and exit campus through the gate at the north end of the parking lot. Please watch for direction from our staff. It is our goal to get you in and out of the lot as quickly and safely as possible. Cars are not to pass or cut across the parking lot. We realize for the first few days this may be a longer process than usual. We appreciate your cooperation in advance.

We also have access for parent pick up/drop off on the east side of our campus on N. Sahuara Ave. When using this curbside access, we ask that you not have students cross the flow of cars. Instead pull up to the curb for them to safely get into the passenger side of your vehicle.
