Dewey Tiger Tale
May 3, 2021
Principal's Message
This past year has stressed the importance of taking time to notice and appreciate those around us. Today I want to take a moment and acknowledge the amazing staff that we have here at Dewey. Educating children academically, socially and emotionally is at the core of what we do.
From a smile and greeting in the morning, to engaging and challenging classwork, to tech support, to lunch preparation, to getting a band-aide when someone has a scraped knee, cleaning our campus, helping a student, or providing a listening ear, our staff works together to support student learning and connectedness to our school. It’s this team approach that makes Dewey such a special place. I want to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to our entire staff for all that they have done and do for our students, families and one another!!
Happy Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week!
You make the difference!

Sabrina Parsley, Principal
