DMS Principal's Corner

December 5, 2023
Dear Dewey Middle School Families,
As we approach the end of the year, it's hard to believe how quickly time has flown by. December is a month filled with joy, reflection, and celebration, and we have some exciting updates and events to share with you.
Academic Achievements: We are proud to recognize the hard work and dedication of our middle school students. As we approach the end of the semester, we encourage students to continue giving their best effort in their studies.
Winter Break: The winter break is just around the corner! School will be closed from Wednesday, December 20, 2023 to Wednesday, January 3, 2024. Teachers have professional development on Wednesday, January 3, 2024, but that is not a school day for students. Students return on Thursday, January 4, 2024. We hope that all families take this time to relax, spend quality time together, and recharge for the new year. Whether you're traveling or staying close to home, we wish you a safe and joyful holiday season.
