Principal's Message
Our theme this year is Learning is Timeless at Dickinson. Each grade level will be a different decade. Dickinson celebrates 30 years of excellence this school year! We hope this is the best year yet! This year Dickinson will be blocking in grades 3rd-5th. This means that students will have two teachers where subjects will be divided between the both of them. According to research, Students are able to move more frequently during the day, which helps increase attention. It also provides students with an opportunity to be challenged academically by different teachers in different classroom environments. Students also develop interpersonal skills by being exposed to different teaching styles.
All required beginning of year forms must be completed through the Skyward Family Access Center for the 2022-2023 school year. Student schedules will not be available online through the Family Access Center until all the beginning-of-year forms are completed for your student and after schedules have been released. Beginning-of-year items include family contact information, emergency contacts and the Student Handbook signature page. These items will be available through your normal Skyward Family Access login starting Monday, August 1 and need to be completed by Thursday, August 11 as we prepare to make personal phone calls from our teachers to parents for class assignments. All parents will receive a detailed letter from the district which includes instructions on how to access the beginning of year forms and their log in information. Should you need assistance once the window opens please contact Amanda Degollado at 832-223-1400 for any questions you may have regarding Skyward.
We want you and your family to have a positive back-to-school experience. Should you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact any of our faculty or staff members at 832-223-1400 between the hours of 7:00-3:45 as it is our pleasure to help meet your child’s needs. As always, if there is something we can assist you with please contact the campus.
I will share a lot of information via Facebook, so please check it routinely for updates. It's going to be a fabulous year! :)
