Dolvin Diary

Dolvin Families,

We value your feedback! Fulton County Schools wants to hear from you through the Georgia School Climate Survey. This survey gives you the chance to share your thoughts on your child’s school.

Key points:

• The survey will be available from February 3-March 31. Dolvin Family Survey: https://survey.gadoe.org/FM?sid=A4E90C88
• The survey is anonymous and confidential.
• The survey is available in both English and Spanish.
• We need at least 71% participation to not lose a climate star in our rating

We also want to hear from our students! Students in grades 3-5 will take the survey at school next week.

Your input helps us make improvements, and we truly appreciate your time and feedback!

Thank you,

Andy Stein

There will be no lunch visitors allowed on February 20th due to the Boostheron Lunch. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

The Lottery Application for the 2025-2026 Dolvin Georgia Pre-Kindergarten Class is open! This lottery application process will close at 11:59 pm on March 5, 2025. Dolvin's lottery will be held on March 26, 2025, and will be posted on the dolvin.org website. You will receive a lottery number prior to that date. Please note that we will hold an in-district lottery and an out-of-district lottery. The in-district applications will receive priority. After the lottery, you will be notified of your status by the end of the day on March 28th. Please see the attached flyer for more information as well as the dolvin.org website.

Please take the time to set up your parent portal if you have not done so already. You will need your student's ID number.

Our school is committed to the health and safety of our students and staff. The district mandates that students must be fever free for 24 hours minimum without the use of fever reducing medications. Likewise, students must be free of diarrhea and vomiting for a full 24 hours. Failure to adhere to these guidelines results in the spread and the reintroduction of germs in our classrooms. Make sure to combat this cold and flu season by eating a healthy diet, getting plenty of sleep, and staying home when you are sick. If you are planning to give fever reducing medications before school, it would be wise to reconsider sending your student. Please give them the time they need to heal. Any questions please contact Ariel Lochner in the clinic at 470-254-9281.
