The Cognia Student, Parent, and Staff Surveys give our school community the chance to share valuable feedback about student learning and well-being this year. Your input is anonymous, voluntary, and highly encouraged.
By taking a few minutes to complete the survey, you’ll help provide important information to Cognia (our accrediting agency), Cobb County School District, and Dowell Elementary. This feedback guides us in strengthening our learning environment, supporting our staff, and ensuring every student thrives.
Your voice matters—thank you for helping us continue to grow together!

From the Principal's Desk |
Families,
We are now seven weeks into the school year, and I could not be prouder of our Dowell Dolphins! Our students are truly showing that they know and understand the rituals and routines of our school. They are walking in beautiful WAVE lines, using appropriate voice levels, and showing kindness and respect in all they do. Their manners are amazing, and their Dolphin pride shines through each day.
Our teachers are leading the way with positivity and enthusiasm for learning. The energy in the classrooms and hallways reflects a community that values respect, responsibility, and a love for learning.
This year’s theme, “Creating Tomorrow Together,” is coming to life each day at Dowell. As students and staff work side by side, they are not only meeting expectations but also building habits, skills, and character that will shape their future.
Thank you for your continued partnership in making Dowell a place where we truly are Creating Tomorrow Together—and where every student is empowered to live their BEST life!

5th Grade Families- Recorders |
Today, I am writing to ask for your support of our amazing 5th Graders and their musical journey. By donating just $5.00 your student will receive their own personal musical recorder instrument. They will be able to use their instrument in music class and take it home for practice as well. The $5.00 donation pays for a 2-piece soprano recorder, a cleaning rod, a durable case, and a fingering chart. If students are not able to purchase their own personal recorder through our school, they will be provided a recorder as part of a class set. These recorders will remain at school and will be sanitized through our cafeteria dishwasher daily after each use. |
Please join us for our annual Movie Night on Thursday October 9th from 6-8pm, |
