Our state testing window is coming to a close! This week, our 5th grade students are finishing up their assessments, and we will be supporting any students who need to complete make-up testing due to absences or unfinished sections.

We are so proud of the focus, perseverance, and effort our students have shown throughout the testing period. Thank you for your continued support in helping students arrive at school well-rested and ready to do their best!

This Friday marks the midpoint of Trimester 3. Mid-trimester progress notices will be sent home on Thursday, May 7 and will also be available for viewing in Q.

Please note that progress notices are not issued for all students. They are sent home only if a student may be at risk of not meeting proficiency in a subject area by the end of the trimester.

If you have any questions about your child’s progress, we encourage you to reach out to their teacher.

Our office is currently accepting donations of gently used clothing items. These donations help us to support students who may need a change of clothes during the school day. We are especially in need of small/medium pants and shorts. If you would like to donate please drop off items to the office. Thank you for helping care for our students and school community!

It's that time of year - get your running shoes out to raise money for Dewey and the San Juan Education Foundation. Please join us for a morning of movement - either walking or running in beautiful old Fair Oaks. Join TeamDewey - link below:

No extra spending, no extra steps, just results. Seven Dewey families have already earned a combined $150 since the start of the school year simply through Local Dining and online shopping.

The best part is they did not purchase any extra gift cards. They simply shopped and dined at places they were already going and earned automatically. By linking a card for Local Dining or using the RaiseRight browser extension while shopping online, those everyday purchases turned into real earnings.

It is one of the easiest ways to participate in RaiseRight with no extra steps and no additional cost.
