PFO Corner- HELP NEEDED!
The PFO is in need of a person or two to be this year's Santa's Night Chairperson! What does this mean?
Santa's Night is an annual Dewey tradition where Santa visits our school and our students and families get to skip mall lines (and prices!) to see Santa, tell him their wishlist, and take photos. There are often other activities like holiday crafts, ornament making, cookie decorating, cocoa, games, and story time... but really, the only limit is your imagination. We need someone to oversee the event and then a committee of other volunteers will help with the details!
During Santa's Night, there's also another event happening on campus... the Kid's Only Shoppe! Another beloved Dewey tradition, this is the students' chance to shop for gifts for their family, and also support the 6th graders, as it is the biggest fundraiser for their science camp at Westminster Woods in the spring.
Santa's Night is scheduled for Friday, December 12th from 5-7pm, so we've gotta get working soon! If you, or even you and a friend or two, are interested and willing to take this on, please contact PFO ASAP so we are able to still have this fun event! Please email PFOHarryDewey@gmail.com if you would like to help!
Parking Lot Update
Due to our growing staff population at Dewey, we are asking that families do not enter the parking lot until it opens at 8:45. You may drop off your students in front of the school before that time if they will be going to the MP room for breakfast. If you would like to walk your students in, we ask that you please park on the street. Thank you so much for your understanding!
Updated Mobile Device Policy
Attached below is a copy of our updated mobile device policy. Please take a few moments to review. Mobile devices include cell phones, smartwatches, tablets, earbuds, laptops, or any device with cellular, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth capabilities. Hard copies of our updated policy will be sent home with your student next week.
