Thank you to everyone who donated to the Angel Tree for Dobie students! This is only a portion of the gifts that were brought to help families in need.
Wishing you all a joyful and wonderful holiday season!
Mrs. Goode, CIS Site Coordinator
Today was a real treat at Dobie! First, our phenomenal staff was surprised with a Treat Trolley filled with delicious items donated by Dobie families as well as goodie bags courtesy of NJHS. Thank you to everyone who helped put a smile on their faces!
Our second treat was an appearance by the one and only Santa Claus who visited our ALE classrooms, both of which are on the nice list 😀
Happy Holidays!
For 7th grade art mid-terms, Mrs. Ramirez gave students the task of scaling up and designing a sneaker of their choice from a grid reference. Students could create their own unique design or recreate an existing design. Our 7th graders were VERY successful using the grids and many students said it helped them focus and break their drawing down into smaller, more manageable sections.
This past Friday, students from FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) wrote holiday cards to seniors in our community. They were delivered to the memory care residents at the Brooks of Cibolo who were very appreciative.
Congratulations to our Slim Chickens Athlete of the month, M. Dymond!
Register for SCUC's multicultural showcase!
Students in Ms. Morales' and Ms. Economidis' Personal Leadership and Development classes are wrapping up the semesters showcasing all they have learned this year with Passion Projects. Each student got to pick a topic that they were passionate about to teach the class. Students chose a wide variety of topics yet were all still able to put together a professional presentation to present in class.
Please check our midterm schedule when you make appointments for next week. To keep interruptions to a minimum during testing, students can only be signed out at these times:
- Monday and Tuesday: 9:45 AM to 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM
- Wednesday: 8:20 AM to 1:00 PM
If your student is absent for an exam, they will receive a 1 on their report card until it the test is made-up. Please coordinate with the teacher directly to schedule a make-up.
Thank you!
Progress reports are published in the Skyward Portal. Look for the Portfolio icon and then "sign" to access the report.
Happy Special Education Day to all the amazing educators who make a difference in the lives of exceptional learners! Your dedication, passion, and creativity inspire us all. Thank you for going above and beyond to provide inclusive and supportive learning environments.

Today during all four lunches, students were selected at random to do the Minute to Win It cup stacking challenge. The challenges are presented by Dobie's PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) committee to promote a positive school environment.
The National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) and Student Council (StuCo) worked together to donate to the Randolph Area Christian Assistance Program (RACAP) for our annual food drive. We collected over 1,000 items! Ms. Springfield's class won first place with 450 cans. Ms. Economidis' class came in second with 214 items, and Coach Castillo's class was third with 181. The 7th grade class won overall and collected more donations than the 8th grade. Great job giving back, Cougars!
Ms. Williams' classes got to try out different jobs using virtual reality today. The system lets students experience a job without leaving the classroom. Here are some of the things students were able to try:
- High wire electrical repairs
- Veterinary services
- Welding
- Medical (including knee surgery!)
- Culinary arts
- Roadside assistance
- Underground drilling
- And many more!
Dobie Cougars sure have talent! Our students showed up and showed out at tonight’s Talent Show, amazing all those in attendance.
Taking first place was Jasmine S. Second place was group act Julian and Elian. Third place was EJ D.
A special shout out to our judges Superintendent Meloni and the Board of Trustees, Cibolo Mayor Mark Allen, and Kathy Staley from RACAP.
All food donations from tonight as well as those collected during student Cougar Times will be brought to RACAP on Friday.
Congratulations to the 20 Dobie Honor Band students who earned a chair in the TMEA All-Region Band! Performing with only 5 hours of rehearsal speaks volumes about their talent, hard work, and dedication. It’s also great to see the support from parents and the leadership of Band Directors Mr. Robertson and Mr. Barbee. The Somerset Performing Arts Center was an incredible setting for this performance. Prior to the concert, students from Dobie and Corbett took a moment to snap a photo together.
Way to go, everyone!
FCA was up early this Saturday morning to make Blessing Bags to handout to those in need. They filled bags with small snacks and water that they provided and wrote a Bible verse in each.
Our ALE students joined their science buddies from Mrs. Nieves' class today to make solar oven s'mores. It was so much fun collaborating with other students while taking part in learning about heat transfer methods and enjoying a tasty treat.
Mark your calendars for Winter Midterm Exams!
🔆 Today in 7th grade science, we harnessed the power of the sun with DIY solar ovens! ☀️ Students experimented with their designs to see how heat and light can transform simple ingredients into tasty treats. 🍫
After our solar cooking adventure, they got creative with emotes, using science concepts to create fun, expressive icons that represent what they’ve learned. 🎨💡 From reactions to experiments to symbols of their favorite elements, these emotes let them bring science to life in a whole new way!
Who knew science could be so tasty and expressive? Keep up the amazing work, young scientists! 🧑🔬👩🔬 #STEMfun #SolarOvenScience #Science
