Outdoor Classrooms

Students will return to Dothan Brook Elementary School on Sept. 8, but they won't be spending much time indoors this year, because of the global pandemic.  The school has been a leader in outdoor education for several years now, and we have encouraged teachers to use portions of our land to expand their use of outdoor classroom spaces this year.  Every class in every grade now has a separate, designated outdoor classroom space.  Teams of teachers, parents and students have done a great job getting the forest ready for class! 

When you walk on the trails, please be aware that there may be classes in session nearby, and please keep your dogs on leash until you are well past the brook and up the hill, so that no dogs will disrupt classes.  All of the classroom spaces are located either in the woods near the brook, or adjacent to the school building, or on the school's athletic fields.
