Caregivers & Families

It Takes a Village

We believe children thrive when the adults in their lives work together.

 

At The Dewey School, families are an essential part of our community. We value the knowledge, experiences, traditions, and perspectives that each family brings, and we believe strong relationships between caregivers and teachers create a stronger experience for children.

Families Are Partners

At Dewey, we see families as partners in the learning process.

​

You know your child better than anyone. You know their stories, interests, comforts, challenges, and the little things that make them uniquely themselves. We value that knowledge and welcome families to share it with us.

​

Communication isn't simply about telling you what happened during the day. It's about creating an ongoing conversation about your child's experiences, questions, growth, and discoveries.

Communication That Keeps Us Connected

We want families to feel connected to what is happening at Dewey.

​

Lillio is our primary communication platform, where families can find important school information, announcements, reminders, and classroom communication.

​

We also value the everyday conversations that happen at drop-off and pickup simply being the quick question, the funny story from home, or the moment when a teacher shares something wonderful your child discovered.

​

We encourage you to:

  • Keep your Lillio account and contact information current.

  • Read school communications regularly.

  • Share important information about your child with us.

  • Ask questions whenever you need to.

  • Let us know when something changes at home that may affect your child's day.

​

Dewey is more than a place children come during the week. We want families to feel like they belong here, too.

​

Throughout the year, families may have opportunities to participate in:

  • Community celebrations

  • Family gatherings

  • Classroom experiences

  • School events

  • Fundraisers

  • Volunteer opportunities

  • Special projects

  • Outdoor adventures

  • ​

Some families may be able to jump right in, while others may participate in different ways. There is no one right way to be a Dewey family.
