What is Special About Our School?
Lake Dolloff Elementary, built in 1970, was named after Frank Dolloff, who was a homesteader here in the late 1800s. Strong parent involvement and a high degree of respect and responsibility shown by the students make this school unique. Lake Dolloff also maintains a very positive relationship with its neighbor, Kilo Middle School. Kilo students tutor Lake Dolloff students in the Power of One Program.
Our students learn leadership skills by participating in Student Council. Achievements are recognized in a variety of ways, including recognition assemblies, “Caught Doing Something Good” awards, and Lake Dolloff buttons and pennants. Because home and community also play a valued role in the social and academic development of students, many adult volunteers serve on PTA and on the Site Leadership Team. Parents and community members are encouraged to be involved in all aspects of the school. The school’s web site and newsletters, and reader board are important tools for communication.
Lake Dolloff serves more than 400 students in regular classrooms plus two sessions of special education preschool. Cultures from around the world are represented in this school, and everyone benefits from the diverse student population.
Lake Dolloff’s first and foremost goal is to help students develop strong reading and writing skills. Well-trained teachers and strong family support help students move toward that goal. Programs that focus on reading and writing skills include AmeriCorps Homework Club, Reading Assessment Facilitators, Extended Learning Opportunities, Accelerated Reader, and Read & Lead.No Child Left Behind Report Card
The No Child Left Behind Act requires all schools and school districts in the United States to prepare annual reports for parents and the public detailing their academic achievement. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction’s web site makes this information available on-line. Find your school’s report card on-line at http://reportcard.ospi.k12.wa.us/. Click on Federal Way in the “Summary” box, and then choose your school from the list. You may also request a paper copy of the report card at your school’s office.
