 Dear Parents/Guardians and Community Members,
Dogwood Elementary will be hosting Career Day on Monday, June 10, 2019! 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 need volunteers to present during 30 minute sessions about their career. Career Day activities will occur between 9:15 a.m.-3:15 p.m. If you, a family member, or friend is interested in volunteering to share a career with our students, please complete this form by May 30, 2019.
Volunteer selection will be on a first-come basis. Bringing stress balls, pencils, or other work-related freebies for students is welcomed. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mrs. Jamie Gadley at jcgadley@fcps.edu or 703- 262-3100. With your help, we look forward to having an engaging Career Day!
Sincerely,
Jamie Gadley
Assistant Principal

The Dogwood Lost and Found is overflowing with jackets, sweatshirts, lunch bags, hats and more. If your student has lost a piece of clothing this winter, please check the lost and found in the Dogwood Café.
Dear Parent or Guardian:
The school health room is reminding parents and guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up no later than the student dismissal time on the last day of school. Medication left in the health room after that time will be discarded. It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student. However, with parent or guardian permission, a high school student may transport over-the-counter medications to and from the school health room.
Medication authorization forms for next school year may be obtained from the school or online at https://www.fcps.edu/resources/student-safety-and-wellness/school-health-services. A medication authorization form is required for any medication, prescription or over-the-counter, to be kept at school. Please be sure medication orders are clear. All information on the form must be completed. Part I must be signed and dated by the parent or guardian. Part II must be signed and dated by your physician. Over-the-counter medication given for headache, muscle pain, orthodontic pain, or menstrual cramps and antibiotic or anti-viral medication do not need a physician signature. More detailed information is available on the back of the medication authorization form.
Over-the-counter medication must be in the original container and clearly labeled by the parent or guardian. All prescription medication, including physician’s samples, must be labeled by the pharmacist or physician. Please make sure that the label clearly states your student’s name, the name of the medication, the dosage of the medication, and the time interval for administration.
If your child will be enrolled in a summer program sponsored by Fairfax County Public Schools, your existing long-term medication authorization form(s) may be used for the summer program. Please let the health room know if you would like a copy of the form(s).
Your cooperation will ensure that we can safely give your student his or her medication. If you have any questions, please contact your school health room aide, at 703-262-3100, or your school public health nurse, Hope Luong, at
703-639-7879.
Thank you for your cooperation and have a good summer.
