Attendance Corner
What happens when you don’t call in an absence?
When your student is going to be absent on a school day, you can notify the school by phone, email (DeweyAbsence@sanjuan.edu) or via the Parent Portal. If your child is marked absent and we have not heard from you, we will call you at the contact number we have on file for you to ask the reason of the absence. If you do not notify us or respond to a message with a reason for the absence, it will automatically become “unexcused”. So please be sure to let us know when your child is going to be out!
Art Room Request
6th grade is starting their sculpture unit, and they will need cardboard to help them construct their projects. They will be creating infinity mirrors inspired by Yayoi Kusama's "Infinity Rooms", and create a sculpture surrounding it, using cardboard as the base. Any cardboard donations are greatly appreciated and can be left in the office. Acrylic or tempera paints are also welcomed!
Thank you for the help, and support!

Share your perspective about your school and district
San Juan Unified would like to invite parents and students to take the San Juan Unified annual district climate survey. Your feedback is vital and informs school and district leaders of the changes needed in their communities. The deadline for the survey is Feb. 7.
Surveys are available online in several languages at:
- Parent Survey - sanjuan.edu/parentsurvey
- Student Survey - sanjuan.edu/studentsurvey
- Staff Survey - sanjuan.edu/staffsurvey
We greatly value your feedback and thank you in advance for your participation.
The Harry Dewey School Library is a fantastic hub for knowledge and exploration! We are so excited to see our student actively using the online catalog to research topics they love. Have you checked it out together yet? Explore here: https://dewey.sanjuan.edu/academics/library
