Doyle Traffic Circle Reminders
Just a few friendly reminders for procedures during arrival and dismissal:
- Please always have students exit the vehicle on the passenger side. This is incredibly important for the safety of your student.
- Please pull your vehicle all the way forward to the "Pull Up To Here" sign. Do not leave large gaps in front of you. This helps us get the most students possible out of their cars and in school on time.
- Please pull as close to the curb as you can. When students are dropped off in the middle of the lane, this creates a safety hazard and severe traffic jam.
- Please do not leave your vehicle unattended in the traffic circle. This creates an unnecessary traffic jam, creating a delay in many students arriving on time.
We thank you for your continued support in ensuring all students and families are safe.
Breakfast Reminder - Only Served Until 7:37 am
Please remember - breakfast is only served until 7:37 each morning.
We are seeing an increase in students arriving after 7:37 and have not eaten breakfast. This creates a delay in them getting to class and making them late for instruction. Our cafeteria doors will be closed starting at 7:37 - if your student has not eaten, they will need to first report to class. Our health office is always equipped with snacks for students if they need it.
Arriving to school early and on time is incredibly important for your students education.
We appreciate your support.
Doyle PTA Announcements
Jog-a-Thon Volunteers Needed
We are still looking for Jog-a-Thon volunteers!
Sign up any time here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090D45AEA823A6FF2-47287767-doyle#/
How to "do" Jog-a-Thon
1. Make sure to REGISTER your child TODAY so that they can get that first Emoji bag clip prize! Register here: https://doylepta.org
2. Make a DONATION (however big or small), either on the website or by cash or check (cash and checks should go in your student's Jog-a-Thon envelope, and be brought to school on April 10th).
3. Next, ASK OTHERS FOR DONATIONS. Don't be shy! The culture here is to ask family, friends, colleagues and neighbors for donations. Most people will chip in, especially as it's in the news that San Diego Unified School District is facing a budget deficit of $93 million. So every little donation helps!
4. Finally, be sure to check with your employer if they MATCH DONATIONS. For example, if you donate $50, the company can MATCH that donation and donate $50 as well. We already have companies like LPL Financial, Novartis, Charles Schwab, Dropbox, and Pfizer pledging to match donations!
Coffee with PTA - Every Friday
Join us on Dolphin Drive at arrival every Friday! Spiritwear will be on sale, and cash is preferred. Please note that not all sizes will be available! Swing by to see what we have in stock.
We currently have female shirts, a few male shirts, some children's shirts, visors, and sweatpants available for purchase.
We look forward to seeing you there!
