 Dogwood had two teams of students travel to George
Mason University this week to present their projects in the Chesapeake
Watershed Competition. Dogwood was the only elementary school with teams that
made it to the finals. We are so proud of our Dragons’ commitment to learning
how to be better environmental stewards and for sharing their learning.
Dogwood Elementary will be hosting Career Day on
Monday, June 11, 2018! The purpose of Career Day is to expose students to a
variety of careers in order to educate them and inspire them to consider their
future aspirations. By preparing early, students will be more likely to be
college and career ready after high school graduation. Students in grades K-6
will participate in Career Day. However, we can’t do it without you! We are
looking for volunteers to present during 30 minute sessions. Sign up here: https://goo.gl/forms/OYD27uBxTkGA31Ph1
Contact Jamie Gadley with questions or for more information. Thank you!
Rising sixth grader students are required to present
documentation of the Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis) booster
before beginning school in August. Contact your healthcare provider to review
your child’s immunization record, obtain documentation, or to schedule the
immunization. Documentation must be provided to the school student information
assistant (SIA) as soon as possible.
Take a look at Dogwood’s eTuesday folder for
information about Free School Physicals for students in Fairfax County offered
by Healthworks of Northern Virginia. This may be a helpful resource if you have
a rising sixth grader who needs to have the Tdap immunization. https://dogwoodes.fcps.edu/announcements/dogwood-tuesday-folders-2017-18
