Helen L. Dollahan Elementary SchoolDear Dollahan Families, Students, and Teachers,
Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year at Dollahan Elementary — the proud home of the Dalmatians! Whether you are joining us for the first time or returning for another year of learning, growth, and leadership, we are thrilled to have you as part of our school community.
This year, our theme is "Leaders in Action", a celebration of how each of us — students, staff, and families — can live out the 8 Habits every day to make a positive difference in our school and beyond. At Dollahan, we believe that leadership is not just a role, but a mindset and a way of life. As a Leader in Me school, we are committed to helping every child discover their unique strengths, take initiative, and contribute meaningfully to their classroom, their school, and their world.
Throughout the year, students will have opportunities to lead in both big and small ways — in the classroom, on the playground, during school-wide events, and within their homes and communities. From Being Proactive and Putting First Things First to Sharpening the Saw, each of the 8 Habits empowers our Dalmatians to grow into confident, capable leaders.
We are excited to kick off the school year with several important upcoming events:
- Class Placement Card & School Info Pick-Up: Families are invited to come to campus on August 6th between 8:30 AM–12:00 PM or 3:00–4:00 PM to pick up placement cards and receive essential information for the new school year.
- TK and Kindergarten Informational Meeting: Join us on August 8th from 1:00–2:00 PM for an informative session where families will meet their child’s teacher, learn about first day procedures, and visit the classroom.
- First Day of School: Our first day of school will be on Monday, August 11, 2025. Parents/guardians will be allowed to enter the campus on the first day of school at the gate with your student (s). Please be prepared to show your identification. Parents/guardians will be able to escort their students to their designated lines, but will not be permitted to enter the classrooms. We can’t wait to welcome our Dalmatians back on campus and begin this exciting journey together!
To our incredible teachers and staff: thank you for your dedication, passion, and heart. Your work changes lives and builds the foundation for our students to thrive. To our families: thank you for partnering with us in your child’s educational journey. Together, we create a learning environment where every student is seen, valued, and inspired to lead.
Let’s make 2025–2026 a year to remember — a year filled with learning, laughter, and leadership. Let’s all stand tall as Leaders in Action!
With Dalmatian Pride,
Elizabeth Alegre-Punchur

Estimadas familias, estudiantes y maestros de Dollahan:
¡Bienvenidos al ciclo escolar 2025-2026 en la Escuela Primaria Dollahan, el orgulloso hogar de los dálmatas! Ya sea que se unan a nosotros por primera vez o regresen para otro año de aprendizaje, crecimiento y liderazgo, nos complace tenerlos como parte de nuestra comunidad escolar.
Este año, nuestro tema es "Líderes en Acción", una celebración de cómo cada uno de nosotros —estudiantes, personal y familias— puede vivir los 8 Hábitos a diario para marcar una diferencia positiva en nuestra escuela y más allá. En Dollahan, creemos que el liderazgo no es solo un rol, sino una mentalidad y un estilo de vida. Como escuela Líder en Mí, nos comprometemos a ayudar a cada niño a descubrir sus fortalezas únicas, tomar la iniciativa y contribuir significativamente a su aula, su escuela y su mundo.
A lo largo del año, los estudiantes tendrán oportunidades de liderar, tanto en aspectos importantes como en pequeñas y grandes dimensiones: en el aula, en el patio de recreo, durante eventos escolares y en sus hogares y comunidades. Desde Ser Proactivo y Priorizar lo Primero hasta Afilar la Sierra, cada uno de los 8 Hábitos empodera a nuestros dálmatas para convertirse en líderes seguros y capaces. Nos entusiasma comenzar el año escolar con varios eventos importantes:
- Entrega de Tarjetas de Ubicación de Clases e Información Escolar: Invitamos a las familias a venir al campus el 6 de agosto, de 8:30 a. m. a 12:00 p. m. o de 3:00 p. m. a 4:00 p. m., para recoger las tarjetas de ubicación y recibir información esencial para el nuevo año escolar.
- Reunión Informativa de TK y Kindergarten: Acompáñenos el 8 de agosto, de 1:00 p. m. a 2:00 p. m., para una sesión informativa donde las familias conocerán al maestro de su hijo, aprenderán sobre los procedimientos del primer día y visitarán el aula.
- Primer día de clases: Nuestro primer día de clases será el lunes 11 de agosto de 2025. Se permitirá la entrada al campus a un padre/tutor por familia el primer día de clases por la puerta con su(s) estudiante(s). Por favor, prepárense para mostrar su identificación. Los padres/tutores podrán acompañar a sus estudiantes a las filas designadas, pero no podrán entrar a las aulas. ¡Estamos deseando dar la bienvenida a nuestros dálmatas de nuevo al campus y comenzar este emocionante viaje juntos!
A nuestros increíbles profesores y personal: gracias por su dedicación, pasión y corazón. Su trabajo cambia vidas y sienta las bases para que nuestros estudiantes prosperen. A nuestras familias: gracias por colaborar con nosotros en el camino educativo de sus hijos. Juntos, creamos un entorno de aprendizaje donde cada estudiante es visto, valorado e inspirado para liderar.
Hagamos del 2025-2026 un año inolvidable: un año lleno de aprendizaje, risas y liderazgo.
¡Líderes en Acción! Con orgullo dálmata,
Elizabeth Alegre-Punchur
