Dear Parents,

Welcome to another school year at Dahlgren Grade School! We will try our very best to make this a great year for you and your child. In order for students to be successful at school, they must first like being at school. If for any reason, your child does not like school or is having difficulty adapting to our learning environment, give his/her teacher or myself a call and we will try our very best to help him/her with whatever barriers that seem to be getting in the way.

It is important to be involved in your child’s education by having conversations with your child each day about his/her school day. Keep in contact with your child’s teacher on a regular basis to help your child develop good work and study habits. Participating in the Dahlgren PTO or becoming involved in the Partners-in-Education Program are ways to be involved as a parent. Time spent being involved in your child’s education will reap rewards and personal satisfaction.

To ensure that your child and all of the students attending our schools obtain the best education possible, certain expectations and rules have been established. It is our belief that by following the rules and expectations stated in the Student Handbook and the Unit #10 Calendar, students will mature into responsible and well-educated adults. Please read the handbook carefully and discuss it with your child. There is a place on the signature page in your child’s registration packet indicating that you intend to read and discuss the handbook together. The climate of our school is very important, and we would like to have input from you at any time on how we can make Dahlgren Grade School a safe, orderly, and efficient learning environment.

If you feel your child qualifies for free or reduced meals and you have not filled out the form, please contact the school office.

We are here to serve you and your child and see to it that the best education possible is achieved. Do not hesitate to call (618) 736-2316 or come by the office when you have a concern
