Principal's Message
Dear Dewey Families,
Spring has officially sprung! It’s hard to believe, but spring break is already upon us. As I was looking at the calendar, I realized we only have eight and a half weeks left in the school year—time is truly flying!
This week, our fifth-grade students are beginning state testing. When we return from spring break, the rest of our third through sixth graders will begin their testing. Dewey’s testing schedule is listed below for your review and planning.
We also hope you can join us this Thursday for our Spring Lunch with a Loved One event. Families are invited to bring a picnic blanket, your favorite lunch, and enjoy a meal with your child on campus. It’s a great opportunity to connect and celebrate the season together.
As we head into the final stretch of the school year, there’s still so much to look forward to—learning, field trips, family events, and fun all await us in the coming weeks.
Wishing you a safe and enjoyable spring break!
Warmest regards,
Sabrina Parsley
Principal
