BE SAFE - OUR STUDENTS ARE WATCHING AND LEARNING FROM YOU!
Adults - please use crosswalks in our front lot and all around school.
Please focus your attention on driving forward after your child has left your car.
Please follow the directions of our staff who are working to keep everyone safe.
MOVING??
Do you plan on moving out of Pleasanton soon or over the summer? Please complete this form to let us know. Completing the form does not mean your student will be unenrolled from Donlon.
We need adult-only help!
Many of our teachers need to change classrooms for next year, and this is a huge undertaking - especially at the end of the school year. If you can assist us we would so appreciate your help. We need adults who can come to Donlon without children to help us box and move classroom materials, and to unpack them in their new locations.
I'd like to know who could be available and when so that I can create a schedule of help that best meets our teacher's needs. Please take a moment to see our "doodle" forms, where you can indicate all of your availabilty. If your availability matches that of one of our teachers, one of us will connect with you before the date you are available. I hope to be able to use all volunteers and support all of the moving classrooms. Thank you in advance!
Janet Gates, Donlon Principal
YOUR CHILD'S ATTENDANCE MATTERS!
Did you know...missing only 2 days each month of school means that your child misses 10% of their education?!
Learning is more than completing classwork - it's also learning social skills, conversation skills, problem-solving skills, independence, and more. These things cannot be replicated when your child is away from school - please have them here everyday, unless they are ill.
Here are some things that parents and guardians can do to help children come to school every day:
Set a regular bed time and morning routine.
Lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before.
Avoid letting your child stay home unless he or she is truly sick. Sometimes complaints of a stomachache or headache can be a sign of anxiety and not a reason to stay home.
Talk to teachers, school counselors or other parents for advice on how to alleviate a child’s anxiety about going to school or other issues.
Develop back-up plans for getting to school if something comes up. Call on a family member, a neighbor or another parent.
Avoid scheduling medical appointments and extended trips when school is in session.

PUSD Bilingual Volunteer Registry Slide.pdfA big Donlon SHOUT OUT to the Cubs of Singletree Court: Arya and Anhinu Yuthan, Viya Shah, Abeer Kulkarni, Ansh Rajput, Hrida Raghuwanshi, Akansh Gowda, Atharv Maheshwari, and Anvi Rajput (former Cub). These students (and former student) made mint, mango, original, raspberry, strawberry, and orange lemonade, and sold these along with popsicles, raising $350 for Donlon! Along the way, they learned many skills like planning, budgeting, marketing, and of course, making lemonade. Great job Cubs, and thank you for your donation!
Another big Donlon SHOUT OUT to Cubs Nathan Gouveia, Jackson Pilch, Preston Pentony, Cash Rampton and Daniel Gong, all second graders. These Cubs are partnering with the Bay Area Panthers (Indoor Football League) to do a fundraising event for Hively. A portion of ticket sales from their group will go to Hively. The Panthers play at SAP center in San Jose (the Sharks arena) and on June 3rd the boys will be recognized for their efforts on the big screen and brought onto the field. Congratulations!
Thank you to our Donlon parents who made so many of this month's fun events possible: Field Day, 5th grade celebration, 5th grade aquatic center field trip, our retirement celebration for Mrs. Vance and Dr. O'Neill . . . we are so grateful!
