Eye of the Dragon
John Dewey Academy of Learning, August 2022
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the John Dewey Academy of Learning is to provide students
with a rigorous project-based curriculum and a safe, caring community in which to learn.
By developing the whole person - academically, professionally and personally -
JDAL will assist students in reaching their full potential.
Welcome Back!
We can't wait to see you next week (August 30) for Registration/Open House! Our school has undergone quite the transformation this summer as we expanded into the whole building. We hope you are just as excited as we were to see the new and improved space!
Important Reminders:
Some areas of our school, like the outdoor learning/movement space and the project studios, are still under construction. Thank you for your patience as we finish up our final projects!
As mentioned in the last newsletter, we will now be using DOOR #1 as our Main Entrance. It is easy access directly across the parking lot. Our doors are locked during the school day, so please ring the buzzer and Ms. Marcia will welcome you inside.
Due to very low participation last year, we no longer have access to the yellow bus. Students can still ride the City Metro for free with their school ID. Parents/Guardians can drop off students after 8:15am for breakfast and pick up right after school at 3:00pm using Cherry Street and Quincy Street. Please DO NOT use the alley. Students who cannot get picked up right at 3pm are encouraged to walk to the Brown County Library until pick up. Students cannot stay at JDAL after school and dinner will not be served this year.
Wednesdays are LATE START for students. School begins at 9:30am on Wednesdays, but students can still get dropped off after 8:15 if needed. Ms. Jen will supervise study hall in the cafeteria until school begins.
Only NEW students join us at school on September 1 and 2. Returning students start September 6.
Please review the July newsletter for other important info!
If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at jmagamaite@gbaps.org or call 920.481.9367.
Thank you for being a Dragon!
