Good morning Doss families - 

Kudos to all the volunteers that made our annual Doss HOWL a success. The students were so excited they couldn’t stop talking about it. These events are creating memories that will last a lifetime. And as we move into the month of November, the excitement continues with the Doss Book Fair beginning this Friday, Nov. 8-15 and Cultural Heritage Night on Nov. 14. 

GRATITUDE is our SEL Word for the month of November. Gratitude is “choosing to appreciate the people and things in our lives.” Practicing Gratitude can increase our well-being and our happiness. 

This month’s Parent Principal Coffee is Friday, November 8th, at 8amin the cafeteria. We will share information about the Human Sexuality and Responsibility curriculum and Enroll Austin and registration for the 25-26 school year, including dual language applications. If you would like to see the lessons, you may access them on the AISD website. https://www.austinisd.org/pe-health/health-education We will send parents opting in or out forms in Wednesday folders, Nov. 13, and your child’s teacher will send them digitally as well. HS&R lessons will be taught the week of December 16th-20th. 

Doss Cafeteria invites family members to Thanksgiving Lunch on Thursday, November 14th, during your student’s lunchtime. Guest lunch costs $5. Guests must pay in advance using this LINK or come to the office with cash by Wednesday, November 6th.
