Though we’ve only just met, you’ve already greeted me with warm hugs, friendly handshakes, and radiant smiles. I could see the excitement in your eyes as you joined the School Tour, connecting with teachers and friends through fun team challenges. You’ve started to get familiar with a new way of learning and discovered more about this shared home of ours.
Your new uniform is more than just an outfit – it’s a gentle reminder that you are now an essential part of The Dewey Schools. Starting today, we’ll write a new chapter together, titled “Beyond the blueprint, Mapping your own way.” This will be a journey without a fixed map, because you will be the ones to carve out your own way. Along that path, you’ll find amazing friends, inspiring teachers, and perhaps even a version of yourself you never imagined. No matter who you are, where you’ve come from, or how unique your personality may be, Dewey values and celebrates those differences. We believe each individual is a special piece that helps complete the vibrant and diverse Dewey community.
Don’t worry about grades, and don’t be afraid of making mistakes or facing setbacks. At Dewey, you’re allowed to stumble, to experiment, and to grow from imperfection. Success here is not measured by achievements, but by your progress each day. Every effort you make, no matter how small, is meaningful and worthy of recognition.
Bring your curiosity, an open heart, and your desire to explore. And remember: behind every step you take, I, along with your teachers and friends, will always be by your side. You will never walk this journey alone.
Today, you are Dewey’s new members. Tomorrow, you will be brave trailblazers, confidently writing your own brilliant chapter. Welcome officially to The Dewey Schools community!
– From “Dewey Dolphin” – your companion on the journey ahead.
