Eye of the Dragon
John Dewey Academy of Learning * August 19 - 23, 2019 *
Welcome Back to the 2019-20 School Year!
It's hard to believe the school year will begin soon! We have been busy this summer moving to our new school building and getting everything ready for your child's arrival. We know you may have a lot of questions and want to provide as much information as possible. Please check our website for information as well. If you have any questions, please call our office at 920.272.7074.
New Location - Our school is now located at 701 Cherry Street, 2nd floor. All entrances will be locked throughout the day. Please enter from the large parking lot where a staff member will be located to answer the door. All JDAL students and visitors will use the center stairwell to get access to the 2nd floor. The elevator is available for parents/guardians and students with a medical excuse.
School Supplies - Students do not need a large amount of supplies to be successful at JDAL. We provide each student with a personal laptop to use and have various other supplies available. Your child will quickly learn what learning style works best for him/her/them. Please click the "School Supplies" link to see what advisors suggest.
Schedule - Since JDAL will be sharing the building with the NEW School of Innovation, we will be staggering the start/end and lunch times with NEW to avoid overcrowding and confusion.
breakfast - 8:10 am
start - 8:45 am
lunch - 11:45 am- 12:15 pm
dismissal - 3:30 pm
dinner - 3:30 -4 pm (same as NEW)
Advisory Assignments - Considering we are still enrolling new students, assignments are not complete. This information will be available at the Open House/Registration Event.
New Staff - Returning families will see three new faces when the school year begins. Please take a moment to say hi to our new social worker, school counselor, and middle school advisor at Open House.
PBL 101 - All new students, and some returning students, will be enrolled in our project-based learning on-boarding seminar, PBL101, which takes place every day from 12:30-1:30. Students in this seminar have the ability to take one off-campus class during their neighborhood school's first hour. Please work with our school counselor to schedule this course if you are interested.

WWII Learning Opportunity - August 30th *LIMITED SPACE
Hello!!
We have a fantastic opportunity to begin learning and exploring WWII before school even starts-hurray!
I am able to borrow a van to transport students to join Ms. Jenna and I on a fun-filled trip to beautiful Portage, WI to tour the amazing WWII museum there. https://www.travelwisconsin.com/history-heritage/portage-wwii-history-museum-192742 The first four students who are interested and return their permission slip will be able to go.
We will meet at the new building (701 Cherry St.) and leave promptly at 8 am on Friday, August 30th. The cost is $7.50 per student. We will be there over the lunch hour, so pack a lunch because I'm not sure what options there are to buy food.
We'll return to school before 4pm. If you are interested in this exciting adventure, please let me know ASAP and I will send out a permission slip. I need commitments by Friday, August 23rd and will email interested students the permission slip, which can be returned anytime, but no later than next Thursday at Open House.
I hope you can join me!
