Principal's Message

DGE Families,

 

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year at Donald Graham Elementary School! We are excited to begin another year of learning, growth, and community. Our dedicated staff is ready to support and inspire your child every step of the way as we continue to “Catch the Wave of Learning” together.

 

At Donald Graham, we believe that strong partnerships between school and home create the foundation for student success. We are grateful for our families and community members who continue to support our mission and help make DGE a positive place for every student to thrive.

This year, we continue to focus on high-quality instruction, academic rigor, and meeting the individual needs of all learners. We ask for your continued partnership in the following ways:

 

  • Read with your child daily. Whether your child is learning to read or already reading independently, time spent reading together builds a love of learning and strengthens literacy skills.

  • Join our PTA. When families and educators work hand-in-hand, our school grows stronger. Your involvement—big or small—makes a difference.

  • Volunteer when you can. Whether you have 10 minutes or an hour, your time and talents are valued. Ask your child’s teacher how you can help—there are always ways to support from home or school.

  • Reinforce the value of education. Talk with your child about school, ask about their day, and share how you use what you’ve learned in your own life. Your interest shows them that learning matters.

  • Celebrate your child’s uniqueness. Every child brings something special to our school community. Helping them recognize their strengths builds confidence and encourages growth.

  •  

Open, two-way communication is a cornerstone of our success. If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can contact me through ParentSquare, by phone, or by email at any time. I welcome the opportunity to partner with you throughout the year.

 

Together, let’s make this school year a memorable one filled with learning, joy, and achievement.

 

Go Dolphins!
