Principal's Message
Dear Dolvin Families,
I hope everyone had a great spring break! It is hard to believe that the ABC countdown began today, meaning we only have 25 days of school left. This is a very busy time of year in schools! Please know the ABC days are completely optional and not meant to be an extra stressor in your life, they’re just for fun. Just a reminder about a couple of events coming up, we have our parent coffee presentation on Milestones online tomorrow at 9:00 am. There will be an email sent out with a link today and a text reminder tomorrow. Next Friday, we have our Family Fun Night from 4pm to 7pm, I hope to see everyone there!
-Andy
Splash Into Kindergarten
Get ready for our annual Dolvin "Splash Into Kindergarten" event! 🌟 Join us on Friday, April 25th, from 9:00-10:00 AM for an exciting morning. Parents of rising Dolvin Kindergartners will receive valuable information about Dolvin and Fulton County Schools. Future Kindergartners will meet the Kindergarten team, explore a school bus, playground, and classrooms, enjoy a story in the Media Center, and participate in the official Dolvin Kindergarten Signing Event! 🎉
Spread the word to neighbors and friends with rising Kindergartners. We can't wait to help you Splash Into Kindergarten at Dolvin! 🚀
