As we begin a new school year, we are always looking to keep our students SAFE at Dudley! During drop off & pick up, please have students exit the vehicle on the sidewalk side (which will always be the RIGHT side)! Thank you for keeping our students safe.




Elementary students who were absent today are welcome to take their SCHOOL PHOTO on Tuesday. Mrs. Floyd will take them to the PAC for their photo.

If you happened to see the "Let's GLOW Swedes" shirts this past week at Back To School Night, you have a few more days to order one for YOU! Last day to order is 8/26/23!

The football game scheduled for Friday, September 8th has been moved to 7:00PM. This will allow for a regular dismissal time of 3:30pm on that day. This is a change from the printed school calendars.

It's a GREAT day to be a SWEDE! Today was the start of Swede Orientation... an opportunity to bring our 4 new teachers and 2 student teachers into the building a few days early. They spend time with the admin and leadership teams, meet with their mentors, learn all of the Swede Essentials, and even partake in a community tour (you may have seen us around town today in the Swede bus)!
Please join us in officially welcoming Mr. Jackson, Mrs. Burkink, Ms. Mullen, Miss Zach, Miss Nichols, and Mr. Bartels to our District!
A huge thank you to ALL the staff and stakeholders who show up big-time this time of year to give a warm welcome (and even some Gothenburg Swag... thanks, Gothenburg Chamber of Commerce!) to these new teachers! #GoSwedes
