Dear Dogan Nation,

It is an honor to be the principal of Matthew E. Dogan Elmentary School. As principal, my goal is to build relationships with our students, teachers, parents, and the community. I intend to create a strong school culture that celebrates the history of the school and community while inspriring students, faculty, and staff members to reach their full potential. I look forward to fostering a school culture to value Education, Ethics, Social Emotional Learning, and overall health. 

At Dogan, we believe that all students deserve to be Educated, Equipped, and Empowered to reach their goals in life. Our goals at Dogan consist of constant and effective ways of providing opportunities for students to enhance academic performance, improve school climate, and student engagement. We also aim to attract and retain an outstanding work force and community collaboration. 

With the support from our community members, parents, and staff I have no doubt that our students will be successful. Dogan Elementary has a kindred spirit and our school community always welcomes you. Your input, feedback, and support are always welcomed, we also encourage open communication with all stakehold members.

Our school aims for having a greater emphasis on improving student's academic outcomes and producing a generation of responsible and successful citizens. Dogan Elementary will continue to encourage and support students to reach their full potential academically, socially, and emotionally. In order to achieve these things. I have included several ways that the family of students can work together with Dogan's staff:

• Ensure your child gets at least 8 hours of sleep each night 
• Send your scholar t school everyday and on time 
• Actively and regularly communicate with your child's teacher via email, ClassDojo, telephone, notes, or letters
• Establish a routine for studying and doing homework
• Attend school wide events,classroom events, conferences, and Coffee with the principal
• Acknowledge and celebrate your scholar's success whether academic, social, athletic, or artistic
• Communicate directly with the school if you see an issue or have concerns
• Support and follow school initiatives and rules, especially those emphasizing academics
• Embrace the Dogan core vaues: Community, Curiosity, Integrity,Tenacity, and Courage

I am estatic to be apart of a community where family members are visible and actively engaged. I am honored and privileged to lead a dynamic communtiy where teachers and staff cultivate and environment where students can build confidence in themselves as well as value education.

2021 is here and we are so happy to have all students back in our campus!

Attendance is really important and we need ALL students here every day at 7:30 am. Please make sure you are making the necessary adjustments to your schedule to ensure students are going to bed earlier so that they can come to school on time. Leave home earlier and make it to school on time!

¡Feliz aῆo nuevo familia! El 2021 ha comenzado y hoy más que nunca necesitamos que todos los estudiantes lleguen a tiempo y no falten ningún día. Por favor hagan los cambios necesarios en su horario para asegurarnos de que los estudiantes se acuesten temprano y vénganse más temprano en la mañana para que no lleguen tarde.
