Principal's Message
Dear Dolvin Families,
I want to wish all our Dolvin Families a well-deserved Thanksgiving Break. I hope you all have a restful week off. We look forward to seeing our staff and students back at school on Monday, December 2nd!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Andy Stein
Attendance
Please send all attendance notes to dolvinattendance@fultonschools.org. You may also copy the teacher as a courtesy. Vacation/travel days are not automatically excused days.
If you are seeking pre-approval for an absence that is not considered excused, please contact Robyn Boateng at boatengr@fultonschools.org one week prior to the absence. A student can use six of these pre-approved days per year.
Another option is to fill out the Remote Learning Days Request form below and submit it to the teacher. Your child may use 5 Remote Learning Days per semester. The teacher must receive this at least 3 days in advance of the days requested and the work must be turned in with 2 days of your child's return.
If your child misses ten consecutive school days, they will be withdrawn. They can be re-enrolled upon their return. The same teacher/schedule cannot be guaranteed. No work will be given during the un-enrolled period of time.
For the full attendance policy, please go to https://www.fultonschools.org/students-families/attendance-policy/attendance-matters.
