Important Halloween Updates
Dear Families-
Dewey has many special traditions that take place each school year. Last week we shared that students will be allowed to wear costumes, but that we would not be having the annual parade. After receiving feedback from our school community, I realize that I may have acted too quickly in suspending this annual tradition. Community collaboration is another important part of our school culture. Because of this, we have decided to hold the Halloween parade on Thursday from 9:45-10:05 on the blacktop.
We are committed to the ongoing partnership between school and home to create inclusive learning and enrichment activities for all of our students and staff.
Warmest regards,
Sabrina Parsley, Principal

Dewey Maker Lab
It’s back! This year, half of the school will come weekly for the first half of the year, then the other half of the school will come weekly the 2nd half of the year. Don’t worry if your child doesn’t start next week- everyone will have equal opportunity to DESIGN, BUILD, and CREATE in the Maker Lab.
The Maker Lab runs on your donations. There is a box for all donations in the office hallway. All cardboard tubes, craft supplies, duct tape, etc. are appreciated. Don’t keep google eyes around your house, but you still want to give? There is an Amazon Wish List: Dewey Maker Lab Wish List
Right now, the Maker Lab is needing your Hex Bugs that are no longer being played with. Give the bugs a second life, give them to the Maker Lab.
