Enjoy the Journey, TOGETHER!

Welcome to the 2025–2026 School Year!

Our incredible staff of educators have been planning and preparing rigorous lessons for our students throughout the summer. This year, our theme is Enjoy the Journey Together—a reminder that learning is a shared adventure between students, families, and our school. Together, we are dedicated to making meaningful connections with students—helping them feel valued, accepted, and safe. Supporting your student academically will give them the opportunity to accomplish great things.

To help ensure your student’s success this year, please keep the following in mind:

  • Be present each day and on time. Your student’s attendance is a priority. According to the Dodge County School System’s policy, if a student is absent more than 14 days during the school year, they will not receive credit for their courses. Excessive absences may be referred to the Attendance Support Team and required to attend attendance recovery days or summer make-up days.

  • Respect instructional time.  Students will not be called out of class for dropped-off items; we will ensure deliveries are made to them.

  • Study nightly and complete all homework assignments.

  • Communicate concerns directly with teachers and administration.

  • Check Power Parent regularly for updates on your child’s grades and attendance.

  • Keep your contact information updated to receive One Call Now messages.

  • Read our school newsletter to stay informed about upcoming events.

At Dodge Elementary, we value your opinions and suggestions, and we are committed to building strong relationships with parents/guardians and our community. We are seeking homeroom volunteers for activities and reading days, as well as member for out Parent Advisory Committee. If you are interested, please contact your student’s homeroom teacher.

Thank you for your continued support. Let’s make this a year of growth, connection, and joy as we Enjoy the Journey Together!
