Happy November! The weather has finally turned and the days are getting longer.

We want to remind you there is no school on Monday, November 11th for Veteran's Day and for Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 28th and Friday, 29th.

We hope you enjoy time celebrating your family and friends.

Ruby Bridges event will be on Wednesday, November 13 from 4PM to 6PM.

Save the date for our upcoming Carnival on Friday, November 15! This is our only fundraiser for the year and is a great time for all! We have time for all students to enjoy the event from 3PM to 4PM, and then we open it up for our families and alumni at 4PM.

There will be food, games, music, and fun! Check out the flyer.

As it gets colder outside, we want to remind our families that the Dodge dress code requires jackets and sweaters that can unzip entirely down the front. Please help your child come to school ready to go. We are still gathering votes for our Dress Code updates. You can vote at the QR below or at click on this link.

Our school council is a vital part of the Dodge community. We will share more information and dates in upcoming newsletters.

You can help our students get the most out of school years by making contributions through Arizona's tax-credit programs. Contributing is easy, and the impact is immense. This year, Dodge was able to support students with fees, attend events and competitions, attire for our new folklorico club, and sent students to Sky School.

Everyone you know who lives in Arizona can help improve education at your child's school by making a tax credit contribution.

Every contribution, from $5 to $400, makes a difference.

So please, ask everyone you know to Give Kids the Extra Credit.

In addition to the TUSD Dress Code, Dodge has the additional board approved items.

Dress Code not uniforms – white, light blue or dark (forest) green shirts with collars and sleeves; black or khaki pants. Dresses or Jumpers must be solid colored in black or tan or match the dress code top garment color choices (listed above) in cotton or cotton twill blends. Dresses must have a sleeve or be worn over a dress code top. No pullover hoodies allowed. Jackets with college/university logos are allowed providing the jacket is still able to completely open down the front.

It is very important to us that our children are safe during arrival and dismissal. Please plan for the process to take longer than usual at the beginning of the year. Students are still navigating the campus and learning the process.

The bus bay is located at the front of our school on E. Pima St. There is no parent drop-off or pick-up at this location.

Parent drop off/pick up:

To use our main parking lot entrance, follow the flow of traffic around the lot. Students will enter and exit campus through the gate at the north end of the parking lot. Please watch for direction from our staff. It is our goal to get you in and out of the lot as quickly and safely as possible. Cars are not to pass or cut across the parking lot. We realize for the first few days this may be a longer process than usual. We appreciate your cooperation in advance.

We also have access for parent pick up/drop off on the east side of our campus on N. Sahuara Ave. When using this curbside access, we ask that you not have students cross the flow of cars. Instead pull up to the curb for them to safely get into the passenger side of your vehicle.
