DYI Dolphin Report
January 12th, 2024
A Message from the Principals,
Welcome to the first edition of the DYI Dolphin Report. This bi-weekly newsletter is a great way to stay updated on what's happening in our 4th and 5th grade classrooms as well as our school and community. In each newsletter we will highlight a different academic team so you will know more about what is happening throughout our school. It will be a great sneak peek into what we, as staff, get to see everyday. We will also use this newsletter to let you know more about important events. Hopefully the Smore will help us cut down on some of the reminders we send you each and every week via Remind. We hope you enjoy the first edition of the DYI Dolphin Report.
Sincerely, Mr. Blake, Dr. Greeson, and Mrs. Cleary
DYI Happenings

January SEL Focus Area
Throughout the year we have been focusing in on the Dolphin Way (Be Respectful, Be Kind, Be Responsible, and Be Safe). We have also been highlighting the CASEL Social Emotional Competencies. In October our focus was on Self-Awareness. In November and the beginning of December we highlighted Self-Management.
From mid-December until January 12th, we have been discussing "Responsible Decision-Making." Responsible decision-making is the ability to make caring and constructive choices about personal behavior and social interactions across diverse situations. We are encouraging students to make responsible decision making out at recess, in the dining room, in their classrooms, in their social interactions as well as at home!
Lost and Found
LOST and FOUND
Before we left for Winter Break, we had all students check out our extensive Lost and Found to ensure that they had the chance to recover lost items. We then donated the remaining clothes to the Seashore so that there would be extra clothes for students during the Seashore Trips.
We are only two weeks back from Winter Break and we already have a dozen or more sweatshirts and coats. Please remind your student to check into the Lost and Found if they come home without something that they left with in the morning! Your help in this matter is truly appreciated!
