FCAT Student Reports
Individual paper FCAT student reports should be delivered to schools within the next few weeks. We will mail these reports with final report cards as soon they are ready. If you have had a change of address please notify us as soon as possible.
The FCAT Parent Network has been discontinued by the state of Florida due to budget cuts, so individual student scores can no longer be accessed online.
Summer Reading List
All students at Doctors Charter School have required summer reading projects, including incoming 6th graders. Download the summer reading list and assignments here.
Parent Service Hours
In response to parental request, the 25 hour per year, per family parent service requirement can be fulfilled by donations of $25.00 per hour ($625.00), or a combination of service and donations.
Important Notice about After-school Supervision
Due to budget cuts, DCS will no longer offer after-school supervision for students; therefore, please make arrangements to pick up your child by 3:45 pm. They will be along the student drop off/pick up side of the building. This does not include tutoring, clubs, athletics, etc. |
Teacher Wish Lists
You can also view the Teacher Wish Lists if you would like to make a contribution; please remember that some of the items on the list may have already been purchased. To make a contribution towards these items, please download a pledge card.
Important Message regarding student drop off
Under NO circumstances should students be dropped off on the street in the front of the school. Cones will be placed on the street to prevent drop-offs. All students should be driven to the drop-off circle on the north side of the building. There will be no exceptions.
Viewing Grades and Homework
Your child's grades as well as homework assignments will be posted in the Pinnacle Internet Viewer accessed through the Parent Portal.
Miami-Dade County Public Schools provides a Parent Portal section on its website to allow parents to view student information, including schedules and grades. In order to access this portal, you must VISIT our school to obtain a Parent PIN. WE CANNOT give the PIN on the phone or to a student. You will be asked to show ID and sign a form that will be put in your student's file to show that you have obtained the PIN. You will also need your student's ID number to set up access.
We strongly recommend that you consult the user's guide, which can be downloaded from the Parent Portal, before registering. The password parameters are very specific and the registration will not be successful unless every step is carefully followed.
Check out our Photo Gallery of recent events. We will periodically change these pictures to show photos of various activities at Doctors Charter School
Policy regarding releasing students before school is dismissed:
No student is to be released from school in the last half hour of the day without authorization from the Executive Director or his designee. Student absence from class in the last half hour of the day will be counted as unexcused. Parents, please keep this in mind when scheduling appointments.
Conflict Resolution Process - Please note revision:
The conflict resolution process appearing on page 8 of the Code of Conduct and as the first of the appendices in the Student/Parent Handbook contains an error. This also applies to the chart which can be downloaded below. Meeting with the discipline Committee is not one of the steps of the conflict resolution process. A meeting with the Discipline Committee is intiated by the school, and only occurs when a student has accumulated 40 or more demerits.
