100% of the Profits stay right here at Dozier to help us create a fun, exciting atmosphere for all our little bobcats! In the last three years we have been able to build a covered walkway from the gym, an outdoor classroom, add on to our PreK playground and more! This year, we are hoping to add a brand new, large scale playground set to our main playground!
We could not do this without our amazing community! If you would like to support our students, please click to link to purchase a ticket, and try your hand at winning $35,000 or a 2024 FORD F-150!

The PBIS team is asking for donations of snack items from the list below to be able to allow students to purchase with the Bobcat bucks. All donations should be brought to the front office.
Example items to donate (everything must be individually wrapped):

Reminders
1. MORNING DROP OFF
Students are not allowed on campus prior to 7:30am. Walkers should NOT enter the campus until after the 7:30 bell rings. All students MUST be dropped off in the car rider line, in the back of school, in the morning. Students should not be dropped off in the teacher parking lot, or the side streets near the front of the school. Vehicles must enter the car rider line on Caldwell. Vehicles cannot enter the line, or block traffic on Kiddie.
2. AFTERNOON DISMISSAL
Our campus dismisses at 3:10. All car riders must be picked up by 3:30pm. Please ensure you enter the car rider line no later than 3:25pm. Please display your car rider sign in your front windshield when you enter the car rider line. We ask that you leave the sign in your windshield until your child is in the car. This will help the teachers who are loading students identify the correct vehicles to guide students to their vehicles.
Any student picked up in a vehicle, must be picked up in the car rider line. Walkers cannot be picked up in the semi-circle, front parking lot, or approaching side streets. Walkers are not dismissed until all car riders have been picked up for the day.
3. UNIFORMS
Students in 1st- 5th grade must wear uniform bottoms (pants and shorts) with belt loops. Belts must be worn in 1st - 5th grade and shirts must be tucked in at all times. Students in Prek and K may wear elastic waist bottoms.
