Dewey School of Excellence

Our Dewey Eagles families + . Stay tuned all week to our social media accounts to see how many books our scholars can read!!

It is with heavy hearts and sadness that we mourn the loss of one of our beautiful students, Tatianna Joseph. We, as a school community, would love to collect donations to support the family of Tatianna. We knew and loved her when she was here. Now that she's gone to a better place lets support her family.
