Doyle Weekly Newsletter

Dear Doyle Families,

With the Padres off to an exciting start this season, there's a buzz of energy and optimism in the air, and we’re feeling that same momentum right here at Doyle! Just like our hometown team, our students and staff have been working hard, supporting one another, and showing what it means to be part of something bigger than ourselves.

Team Doyle is in full swing. Classrooms are alive with learning, creativity, and connection. Our teachers are bringing their best each day, and our students are rising to the challenge with curiosity and confidence. Whether it’s mastering a new math concept or making a new friend, we are so proud of the growth we’re seeing across campus.

Much like a great baseball team, our success comes from working together with families, staff, and students all playing an important role. Thank you for continuing to cheer us on, stay involved, and be such vital teammates in your child’s educational journey.

Thank you for being a part of our amazing community. Together, we’re making this a winning season for every child.

Proud to be a Dolphin!

Armando and Kristy

Doyle International Festival Flyer Art Contest deadline EXTENDED to April 14th!

Our Doyle International Festival is on May 16th and we are still looking for students to showcase their art skills!

Each year, we have two art contest winners whose art will be our official artwork to promote this free, fun, family event.

Check out the flyer for details and requirements.

By now, you should have received an email from the Extended Learning Opportunities Office about the process and timeline for applying for PrimeTime.

If you did not receive it, please check your email settings to ensure district emails are not blocked, check your spam folder, and verify your email address is correct in our directory (login to the Parent Portal or contact us at doylelm@sandi.net)

At a glance:

• applications open on Monday, April 14th at 8:00 am
• parents will receive an email and text message between 6:00 - 8:00 am with an individual student link . Please do not share the link with anybody else - it will not work for their student.
• applications close on May 2nd at 9:59 pm. Applications will not be accepted after this date.

Next Coffee with the Principal is scheduled for Thursday, April 17th at 7:45 am in the Doyle Auditorium.

Grab a cup of coffee, grab some snacks, and hang out with us for end of the year information, important data, and reminders presented by our one and only, Principal Lopez.

We are still looking for parents who may be interested in being on the PTA board next year!

The PTA does so much for our students - be part of the decision making, planning, and approving process!

Without the necessary board members, students will not have access to: extra supplies paid for by PTA grade level grants, field trip buses, family movie night, and so much more!

Positions we still need nominations for:

• President (required to operate)
• Executive Vice President
• Vice President of Communications
• Secretary (required to operate)
• Memberships
• Historian
• Parliamentarian
