Mrs. Devers shares thoughts of gratitude and our upcoming December Learner Profile of being Caring. There are many wonderful events to take part in at Dogwood ES in December, she invites you to join us. Click here or on the picture to hear her December message.
If you missed it the first time, brought back by popular demand, we will have a Zumbathon on December 8th at 4 to 6 pm, don't miss it a second time!
This holiday season, the best gift you can give your child is a good education. And the best place to get an education is in school. It’s tempting to extend your vacation by a few days, but remember, those days count as absences. Just a few missed days here and there, even if they’re excused absences, can add up to too much lost learning time. So make sure your child is in school every day, right up until vacation starts. Our teachers will be teaching, and our students will be learning.

There will be food, fun, friends and the movie The Incredibles 2 at Dogwood ES on Friday, December 7, 2018 at 6:30 pm sponsored by our PTO. Come for a night of family fun.
As inquirers, you are often wondering. We are excited to offer an opportunity for you to search for answers to a wondering and share your findings with the Dogwood community.
Wonderfest is being aligned with Dogwood’s Family Science Night, as it will be an evening of discovery! To participate in
Wonderfest, complete the registration form distributed by classroom teachers and available outside of the main office.
Each participant who registers by November 30th will receive a tri-fold project board. All projects will need to be turned in on Monday December 9th to your child’s classroom teacher. Please contact Mrs. Gadley with any questions you may have: jcgadley@fcps.edu http://safeYouTube.net/w/C7tf

Full-Time Level IV (Center Screening Procedures)
Guidelines:
Parents or guardians may refer students in Grade 2 who are not in the screening pool, and students in Grades 3-7 by submitting the Advanced Academic Programs Level IV Referral Form to the school. The referral is due January 10, 2019 5pm. Attn: Stephanie Guffain, AART. We will confirm that it has been received.
Referrals:
The completed form is submitted to the school principal or AART who acknowledges, in writing, receipt of the referral. Do not wait for test scores to arrive before submitting a referral for your student as there will be no referrals for Level IV screening accepted past the January 10th deadline.
Screening Files:
The local school screening committee prepares and submits completed Level IV screening files to be evaluated by the countywide central selection committee. Multiple sources of information are reviewed to determine eligibility for placement in Level IV. Documents included in the screening file are listed below. Parents or guardians are responsible only for those documents specifically noted, to be turned in to the AART by the January 10th deadline.
We are bringing the Primary Years Programme (PYP) learner profiles to The Dogwood Café. Students at all grade levels are being asked to be caring and principled during lunchtime. Our hosts, Mr. P and Ms. A are monitoring for classes who are respectful and responsible in the cafeteria in order to award the Golden Broom. So far we have had 7 classrooms win the Golden Broom award. They are:
Mr. Chierichella's 6th grade class,
Ms. Adam's 2nd grade class,
Ms. William's Kindergarten class,
Ms. Hargreave's Kindergarten class,
Ms. McHie's Kindergarten class,
Ms. Clark's Kindergarten class,
Ms. Allen's Kindergarten class.
Ask your child what their class might need to work on to earn the golden broom award!
