Welcome Mrs. Cobabe!
We are excited to announce that Mrs. Cobabe has accepted the position of full time music teacher at Dewey! Mrs. Cobabe has been working with us the past two years as an instructional assistant and we are excited to have her transition into this new role. Music has always been apart of her life. She plays both the piano and clarinet and has been in multiple choirs. She's also led choirs from age three to adult! Music has always been an important part of of her life and she is hoping to share that love with our students.
Attendance Corner
Camp is getting close!
6th grade camp at Westminster Woods is approaching, from March 17-March 20. If your student will not be attending camp, and you have not yet requested Independent Study, please notify Mr. Gallington or Mrs. McCulloch right away so we can have a study packet ready for your student. Students who do not attend camp and have not requested Independent Study are required to attend school on camp days.
CA Physical Fitness Test
In February and March our students in grades 5-6 will participate in the California Physical Fitness Test (PFT). The FITNESSGRAM is the required annual PFT for students in grades five, seven, and nine in California public schools. (6th and 8th grade students are tested each year to support improvement and transition for the next year.) This health-related fitness test, developed by The Cooper Institute, is intended to help students acquire lasting habits of regular physical activity.
The FITNESSGRAM includes tests for five areas of fitness: Aerobic Capacity, Abdominal Strength and Endurance, Trunk Extensor Strength and Flexibility, Upper Body Strength and Endurance, and Flexibility.
On February 7th, all fifth and sixth grade students received a 2-page informational packet on the test. Additional copies will be in the hanging folder inside the office.
