Old Dock

Good Afternoon Old Dock Families, This week starts our World’s Finest Chocolate Fundraiser. Tomorrow a flier providing details of the sale will go home with your child. If you are interested in participating and helping raise money for the school, then complete the form and return it to school. Once the permission form has been completed you may begin selling. Help support our third and fourth grade spelling bee participants. The spelling bee will take place at 5:30 PM on Tuesday, Oct. 8. Good luck to all the contestants. Parents please make sure that you have signed up for Remind and Here Comes the Bus. These two apps are used by teachers and administration to communicate with you. If you need assistance with downloading these applications, then please contact the school. You will need your child’s school identification number and the code 29893 for Here Comes the Bus. More details about Here Comes the Bus can be found on the county’s webpage. Our book fair ended on Friday. Thank you for supporting this event and for encouraging your child/children to read. It is important that children read every day or listen to someone read to them. This concludes the messages for the week. Thank you for supporting Old Dock Elementary School.
