What a great start of the school year! As our staff and students enter Day 10, we can't help but be excited for an amazing school year. Remember that we have a School Board meeting tonight at 6:00 pm and our first Cross Country meet tomorrow night at 4:15 pm!
Dear Dedham School Families,
We want to extend our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by the traffic lights being taken out of commission the day before school started. While this situation was beyond our control, we truly appreciate your patience and cooperation during drop-off and pick-up times.
We are especially grateful for the support of our new School Resource Officer, Deputy Christie Scribner, who has been helping manage traffic on the north end of campus, along with the Hancock County Sheriff's Department for their assistance on the south end.
We’re hopeful that new traffic lights will be installed by the end of the week and will keep you updated on the progress.
Thank you again for your understanding and support.
Sincerely,
Larry Clement, Principal

As we put June in our rearview mirror and head into July, we want to take a moment to wish all of our friends, families, and staff a joyful and safe Fourth of July weekend. May your celebrations be filled with fun, relaxation, and quality time with loved ones. Happy Independence Day!
On the warmest day of the year, we hope everyone stays safe while we manage these conditions. Please remember to lower the risk of heat-related illnesses: Stay Cool, Stay Hydrated, Dress for the Weather, and Don’t Forget Pets.
As we complete the first week of summer break, we reflect with pride on a remarkable school year filled with focus, dedication, and tremendous achievement. This well-earned time away is a chance for rest, family moments, and summer adventures.
While students and staff enjoy the break, our hardworking custodial team has already begun preparing for the 2025–2026 school year, waxing floors, rearranging furniture, and getting our spaces ready to welcome everyone back in August.
We hope your summer is off to a wonderful start and filled with joy and relaxation!
What a marvelous day our Gr 4-7 students had at Camp Roosevelt! The weather didn't stop them from fishing, frog catching, playing board games, crafting, followed with a game of Capture the Flag. What a great culminating event and preview of our Middle School grouping for 2025-2026!
