We wanted to remind you that Drew Charter School will be closed for Fall Break from October 9th through October 13th.
Whether you plan a cozy staycation or a fall adventure, we hope you have a fantastic break!
Important Reminder: Drew Charter School Operates Normally on Election Day
As Election Day, November 7th approaches, we want to remind our students, parents, and staff that Drew Charter School will follow its regular, in-person schedule. While the district will observe an asynchronous day due to many schools serving as polling locations, Drew Charter School is not a designated polling location and will continue its normal operations.
We encourage everyone to exercise their civic duty by participating in the election process, especially the local school board elections. Your involvement can shape the future of our community and schools.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We look forward to welcoming students to Drew on Tuesday, November 7th!
Get ready to celebrate the importance of attendance this month! Whether you’re a student, parent, or staff member in our Drew Community, this is your chance to recognize how being present and punctual contributes to students’ success.
Why does it matter? Regular attendance is more than just showing up – it’s about active participation, growth, and building a strong Drew Community environment.
Starting Friday, September 1, students who follow Drew’s attendance policy all month long will qualify for a chance to win prizes – including gift cards, amusement park tickets, movie tickets, and more! There will also be a celebratory event held in October!

Evaluate Self – build skills to regulate and deal with emotions
This year we all will work together to focus on S.H.A.P.E. – ing up for the school year.
