Eye of the Dragon
John Dewey Academy of Learning * December 17 - 21, 2018*
Information Meeting Regarding Location for Next Year
Hello Dragon Families!
Conversations regarding the new location for JDAL are moving forward. I would like to share details with you and provide answers to questions you may have.
Although it is short notice, I hope you will be able to attend an Informational Meeting on Tuesday, December 18 at 6pm. The School Board would like to hear your feedback as soon as possible, so I would like to share this information before winter break. If you cannot attend, please feel free to email or call me with your concerns. I will also try to make myself available Thursday and Friday during conferences so you can speak with me directly if you wish.
The relocation plan includes JDAL sharing space with the N.E.W. School of Innovation. This new charter school shares many of our philosophical beliefs such as personalized, student-centered, and proficiency-based learning.
Some points to consider:
- JDAL will likely have it’s own floor.
- JDAL will likely have its own entrance.
- JDAL and NEW will likely be able to share pupil service staff such as a social worker, school counselor, and school psychologist, making those services more available.
- JDAL and NEW will likely share spaces like a cafeteria and community room.
- Students will have easy access to the city bus for transport to off-campus classes.
Jason Johnson, Principal of the NEW School of Innovation, will be present to help answer questions.
Thank you for being a dragon! We appreciate you and we believe in you.
With gratitude,
Jen + the JDAL Staff
