Dolvin Diary
April 25, 2024
Assistant Principal's Message
Georgia Milestones State Testing begins Monday, for our 3rd and 5th grade students. Fourth grade students will begin testing on Thursday, May 2nd. Please see the attached information regarding this assessment. During your child's testing days, please do your best to be on time as we will begin testing first thing in the morning.
This can be a stressful couple of weeks for students, parents, and staff. We want our students to do their absolute best, of course, but these assessments are also not the end all be all for our students' elementary school years. We encourage parents make these days as normal and stress-free as possible for our wonderful kids. We got this!
If you have any questions, please reach out to me.

Splash Into Kindergarten
Parents of rising Kindergartners, we'd like to invite you to our Splash Into Kindergarten! On Friday, April 26th, please join us from 9:00 -10:00 a.m. to learn more about Kindergarten at Dolvin. There will be a presentation for parents and a special tour for our rising Kindergartners. If your rising Kindergartner is a current Dolvin Pre-K student, they will not attend the tour, they will be provided with a tour during their school day at Dolvin. That said, we'd love to have parents of Dolvin Pre-K students join us for the parent meeting. We look forward to seeing you there!
PBIS At-Home Tip of the Week
Talk about feelings and use visuals to help your child understand what each feeling may look like/feel like. Tell them you understand how they feel. Look beyond the behavior and see what your child is trying to tell you. All behavior, positive and negative, is a form of communication.
ABC Countdown

Volunteers
As of January 3, 2024, Fulton County Schools is utilizing the CheckMate Sign-In system to welcome visitors and volunteers into our schools. CheckMate has replaced the Raptor system. Unfortunately, the Volunteer Registration system did not roll over into the new system and all School Volunteers will need to re-register. Any task that will allow you to interact with students will require you to register as a Volunteer. The new re-registration will be effective until May 31, 2026. We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience. Please follow the link below to access the FCS Volunteer Registration page.

Important - All Visitors and Volunteers must remember to bring in their driver's license each time they sign in. The license will be scanned each time. Thank you for your patience as we are implementing this new safety procedure.
