Dewing School Digest

Hello Dewing Families,

If you have ever experienced the week leading up to October 31st in a school, you know how much fun it can be! I hope that for those who celebrate Halloween have a great evening! As a reminder, please do not send candy to school...we love our students without the extra sugar!

Assembly-Yesterday, we had our October assembly where Mr. Waldron discussed Self-Control with students. Following the educational part of the session, the winning grade level classrooms from the Fun Run had the opportunity to slime me. The kids were very kind about it. The teachers....well....let's just say thank goodness the PAC warmed up the slime!

School Council-The Dewing School Council is working to create some SEL related parent information sheets which are aligned with our SEL focus in the school. Please see our first newsletter below.

Food Drive-The Annual Dewing School Food Drive is upon us! Please see the flier below. We always have a great turnout of donations for this drive and we are looking forward to another great year.

From Nurse Robinson-As a reminder, cold and flu season is coming, please check with your pediatrician if you are considering getting a flu shot for your child.

Dewing Spirit Wear-The PAC has arranged for an opportunity to purchase Dewing School Spirit Wear for children and adults. Please see this link for more information: r: https://dewingpac2025.itemorder.com/

Enjoy the weekend!

Warmly,
Mrs. Bosworth

I have heard that there have been a number of families whose emails from our staff have gone to spam. Here is a solution from our IT department:

1. Mark as “Not Spam”

• If they find your emails in Gmail’s Spam folder:

  • Open the message → click “Not Spam”.

  • This trains Gmail to trust future emails from your domain.

2. Add District Email to Contacts / Safe Senders

• Ask parents to add the sending address (or @tewksbury.k12.ma.us domain) to their Contacts.

• In Outlook/Yahoo/etc., they can also add the domain to their Safe Senders list.

4. Check Promotions / Updates Tabs

• In Gmail, messages sometimes land in “Promotions” or “Updates” instead of Inbox.

• Parents can drag the message into “Primary” — Gmail will ask if it should always do that for future emails.
