Doyle Weekly Newsletter

We love seeing parents and students bike to school! It's a great way to decrease our carbon footprint, encourage physical activity, and get your day started!

We would like to remind all parents and students who bike to/from school the importance of following the flow of traffic for their safety and the safety of those around them. Bicycles should not be riding against the flow of traffic, this creates significant safety risks and creates additional traffic.

Thank you!

PowerSchool Parent Portal access will be ON at 3pm today!

You can login via your mobile application or on a web browser here: http://powerschool.sandi.net/public/

Book Fair is open December 2nd through the 7th in our Doyle Library. Details are posted at doylepta.org

Help make this a successful event for students and families. Without volunteers, we will risk having to close the book fair on specific days! This means less shopping time for classes during the school day and less/no family shopping time!

PTA CA Reads program is going strong! Be sure to log your students time to win prizes!

We will hold our next Coffee with the Principal on December 19th at 7:45 am in the Lounge

Next SSC Meeting is on December 19th at 2:30 via Microsoft Teams

We encourage all travel to be done during breaks and outside of normal school days, but we know that doesn't always work out! If you plan on your student being absent for more than 3, but less than 14 school days, talk to your students teacher about an Independent Study Contract at least 2 weeks prior to your scheduled trip.

This is an official contract that requires parent, student, and teacher signatures, and provides the opportunity for your student to complete work and earn attendance credit upon return.

Please keep in mind that this is optional for teachers. When teachers agree to an Independent Study Contract, they take extra time out of their planning and personal days to create a packet of work for your student to complete while out of school. If your student does not complete the required work, a certain number of days can and will be marked "unexcused".

We are not able to accommodate Independent Study Contracts beyond 14 days.

Attendance is important! We strongly encourage all vacations and appointments to be scheduled around school days/times. However, we understand...life happens!

If your student is going to be absent, please inform the front office using one of the below methods:

• Doyle Elementary Attendance Reporting form : this can be found on our school website - just scroll down on the homepage and click "Report an Absence"
• Call the front office at 619-605-4500 and select Option 2 for Ms. Venus in Attendance.
• Email us at doylelm@sandi.net
• Message us at ClassDojo School

Attendance matters, but so does your students health! Check out the district recommendations on when to keep students home:
