📚 Academic Achievement

On March 11, students will complete their fourth benchmark assessments. These benchmarks are vital tools that help us celebrate your child's growth and ensure they are on track for success.

At DMS, we believe achievement is a team effort. While we are proud of our students' academic gains, we define success by more than just grades—it is found in their perseverance, effort, and daily progress.

We invite you to partner with us during Parent-Teacher Conferences to review this growth and prepare together for April’s state assessments. Your encouragement helps build the confidence and focus they need to thrive.

Proud to be a Bulldogger,

Lauri Wilson
Principal, Dewey Middle School

Congratulations to our Dewey Middle School Teacher of the Year, Debbie Miller!

Mrs. Miller teaches 6th grade Science and Reading and brings passion, energy, and dedication to her classroom each day. She is deeply committed to helping students grow into the best version of themselves—academically and personally. Her enthusiasm is contagious, her lessons are engaging, and her many talents make a lasting impact on our campus.

Dewey Middle School is truly fortunate to have Mrs. Miller as part of our Bulldogger family.

Click find out more information. Students who have attended previously have found this to be a great experience.

To help keep our school community healthy, please keep your child home if they are feeling unwell. The attached image provides helpful guidelines to assist you in making that call.

Kindly notify the office whenever your child is absent. For absences lasting longer than two days, we are happy to collect their schoolwork upon request. Please ensure you check in with us, as we want to avoid any missed work being recorded as an unexcused absence. An unexcused absence could result in your child receiving zeroes for missed work.

Parent, Student, and Teacher Guides provide a list of test-taking tips, objectives covered in the test, and practice tests. Parents/guardians are encouraged to discuss these materials with their child to help prepare them for the tests.

Please note the changes on the calendar in April to account for used snow days.
