Dear Dorsett Shoals Families and Friends, We at Dorsett Shoals would like to welcome back our returning students and new students to our school. We hope that you have enjoyed your summer and are ready to begin another exciting year. During my first year as principal, I am truly looking forward to getting to know you by working together. It is my goal to continue with the friendly school-family partnership that makes Dorsett Shoals such a wonderful learning environment where your child will grow academically as well as socially. Our goals this year are the continuation of efforts to increase our scores in all areas of the Georgia CRCT; to integrate writing across the curriculum; to differentiate instruction; and to increase parent involvement. In addition, attendance is another area we would like to focus. It is very important that your children are present and here at 8:00 a.m. In order to accomplish our goals, we must have rigor+relevancy+relationships=results to be successful. Communication between home and school is an essential component for student success. Dorsett Shoals Elementary School offers a variety of ways for you to support your children and our school. Our PTA is an extremely dedicated organization that works tirelessly to support our school. We invite you to become a part of the Dorsett Shoals PTA as an active member. In addition, you may want to volunteer in the classroom, become a mentor, and/or serve on the school council. Your active participation and involvement in school events/activities makes all the difference in the success of our school. Please mark your calendar! Our Open House is scheduled for Tuesday, August, 4, 2009 from 4:00p.m-6:00p.m. Our faculty and staff have worked throughout the summer to prepare for our students. Their dedication and willingness to do "whatever it takes" is to be commended. So I hope that you will be able to attend and meet the wonderful faculty and staff at Dorsett Shoals Elementary- "Where it is truly about the kids"! We are truly looking forward to a successful year with you! Sincerely, Kacia Thompson Principal
