Dolphin Friends is a program that encourages awareness and acceptance of people who are “differently-abled”.  Helping peers promotes self-esteem and sensitivity towards others.  One common characteristic of autism is the inability to develop appropriate social and play skills.  This is the primary emphasis of our program.  A Dolphin Friend is paired up with a student/s in the school and taught how to play with and socialize with them.  The Friends are trained in listening skills, responding, problem-solving techniques, characteristics of autism, and how to interact and “teach” play skills to their peers with autism.

Dolphin Bay Elementary works hard to ensure the safety of all of our students and staff. 

To help with this, some of our responsible fourth and fifth grade students are chosen to serve as Safety Patrols. They are assigned to a post, an area within the school, where they monitor the students to help maintain an orderly and safe environment. They attend to their posts before the morning bell rings and after school.

To be chosen for this position, the students write an essay explaining why they should be chosen, and their reason for wanting to participate in this program. Once the essays are submitted, teachers and administration score them to ensure that the most promising candidates are chosen.

These students work hard to make certain that our younger students are safe at all times.

It is an honor to be able to serve as a Safety Patrol, and our students do a fabulous job!
