Principal's Pin

Welcome to the 2026–2027 School Year!

Our incredible staff has spent the summer preparing engaging, rigorous lessons and exciting learning experiences for every student. This year's theme, Making Dreams Come True Together, reminds us that every child has unique dreams, talents, and potential. When students, families, and our school work together, we can help turn those dreams into reality.

Our commitment is to create a learning environment where every student feels valued, accepted, challenged, and safe. By working together to support your child's academic, social, and emotional growth, we can inspire confidence, build character, and open doors to a bright future.

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

• Be present each day and arrive on time. Attendance is one of the greatest predictors of student success. According to Dodge County School System policy, students who are absent more than 14 days during the school year may not receive credit for their courses. Excessive absences may be referred to the Attendance Support Team and require attendance recovery or summer make-up days.
• Protect instructional time. Students will not be called out of class for items dropped off during the school day. We will ensure those items are delivered to them as quickly as possible.
• Encourage nightly reading, studying, and completion of homework assignments.
• Communicate with teachers and administrators if questions or concerns arise.
• Monitor PowerParent regularly to stay informed about grades and attendance.
• Keep your contact information current so you receive important One Call Now messages.
• Read our school newsletter to stay informed about upcoming events and opportunities.

At Dodge County Elementary, we believe that strong partnerships with our families and community help make dreams come true for our students. We value your ideas, support, and involvement. We are seeking homeroom volunteers for classroom activities and reading days, as well as members for our Parent Advisory Committee. If you are interested in serving, please contact your child's homeroom teacher.

Thank you for trusting us with your child each day. We are excited to partner with you as we encourage every student to dream big, work hard, and achieve great things. Together, we will make this a year of learning, growth, and unforgettable accomplishments.

Let's Make Dreams Come True Together!
