WEEK TWELVE

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!

EAGLES, IT’S TIME TO GET IN SHAPE

Seek to Understand Others – show empathy for differences and serve others

Honor Trust – show integrity and honesty 

Act Responsibly – good judgement, good decisions, and be accountable

Present Professionally – uniform on properly and take pride in how your presentation

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.
