The John G. Dinkelmeyer Elementary School

The John G. Dinkelmeyer Elementary School is a place where children, parents, teachers, staff and administrators work together to help each child reach their individual potentials. By working together we can make a difference.

Our dedicated administrators, teachers and staff are committed to the children and their families. They work hard to enhance their skills with strategies that support the curriculum through continuing educational opportunities at the Teacher Center or by common planning with their colleagues. Throughout the school year and summer many hours are spent on creating exciting lessons that inspire and make the curriculum come alive. Maintaining a line of open communication with children and their families supports their efforts.

Dinkelmeyer parents educate themselves by staying current and involved. An active and enthusiastic PTA provides many wonderful opportunities to the children. These include events such as the annual Fall Festival and Spring Carnival and many educational, but fun assemblies throughout the school year. The Shared Decision Making Committee and our new Beautification Committee's are additional ways our parents stay involved and informed. Dinkelmeyer parents are committed to supporting their children's education by maintaining an open dialogue with their children and their teachers. We are most appreciative of our PTA's generosity and support throughout the school year.

At Dinkelemeyer, children learn to respect themselves, property and others to ensure a safe environment for all. Character development has an integral role in our educational philosophy and curriculum. The children learn to assess their own behaviors with our Levels of Behavior and have found that recess can be peaceful when they participate in the many Peaceful Playground games they have been taught in their physical education classes. Maintaining a respectful environment is critical in enabling the children to focus on the task at hand, which is to learn the curriculum and to learn to be good citizens in society.

The Dinkelmeyer community is committed to working together to make a difference. Perhaps you'd like to come and join us.
