Hello Dexter Elementary Families.
Hello Dexter Families!
As the leaves turn and the air becomes crisp, we look back on a fantastic October filled with memorable events and accomplishments. We are excited to share some highlights and upcoming opportunities with you!
Our Annual Kindergarten Teddy Bear Picnic was a delightful success! Students and families gathered to enjoy a day of fun, friendship, and furry companions. It was heartwarming to see so many smiles and hear the laughter. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped create lasting memories.
Wacky Wednesday continues to be a favorite among our Dexter students! A special thank you to Anna Chaney and her amazing crew for organizing such a fun event each month. We appreciate your continued support in making these days so special.
We are proud to announce that we have ended Quarter 1 with great success! While we celebrate our achievements, we also recognize areas for growth, such as improving student behavior, ensuring timely submission of schoolwork, and encouraging students to ask for support. We are working diligently on realigning our 2024-25 action plans to best serve our students' interests.
Grades were sent home with students on Friday, 10/18/24. Please review them together and discuss any areas of improvement.
Our thoughts remain with families recovering from the recent flood devastation. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need assistance. We are here to support you in any way possible.
Red Ribbon Week was a meaningful success, with engaging dress-up days and valuable lessons in drug and alcohol awareness. Instead of adding to family burdens, we opted to celebrate with a fall dance, and we thank the high school for inviting us to their candy collection event. This community connection is truly appreciated.
November brings new opportunities and a fresh start for everyone. Here are some important dates to remember:
· No School: Tuesday, November 5, in observance of Election Day.
· Creede Theatre Performance: Tuesday, 11/12/24, as part of our Fine Arts Grant.
· Thanksgiving Lunch: Join us for a special family lunch on Friday, 11/15/24.
· Fall Break: No school from November 25-29.
We hope you have a wonderful weekend and enjoy quality time with loved ones. Thank you for being an integral part of our Dexter community!
Warm regards,
The Dexter Elementary Team
