We are committed to creating a school that gives every student the opportunity to SOAR.  Every student will have the opportunity to be succesful.  Every student will have the opportunity to develop his or her character and their academic skills.  The elementary education we provide our students will serve as the foundation that they will build their lives upon.  Not only do we prepare our students for a lifetime of academeic growth all the way through college but we have plans in place to prepare all of Dove's students for a happy and successful life.  Our ultimate goal is that ALL Dove Academy of Detroit students develop their character and are proficient in reading, writing, and math.

Announcing…

Free and Reduced Lunch Program for Students

Beginning at Dove Academy in the fall of 2008!

Dear Parents and Students:

We are very pleased to announce the beginning of a free and reduced hot lunch service for our students beginning this school year.

Free/reduced lunch applications will be mailed to your home the first week of August.  We will have a staff member at Dove Academy available to assist you in completing the forms and submitting the proper documentation.  Your information will be handled by only one staff member and kept strictly confidential.  Our goal is to have all the applications completed prior to the first day of school so that our lunch service may begin immediately.

If you have any questions concerning the application process or your child’s eligibility, please feel free to contact the school.  We are available to assist you in any way we can.

Hope you are enjoying your summer!

Sincerely,

Susan Diehl                           Frank Nardelli
