From the school

At Dickens, our parents and community are a vital part of our schools success. Our PTA is growing rapidly, establishing a positive foundation for parents and teachers within our school. Along with planning activities for our school community, they have provided volunteer time treats for teacher and support within the classrooms. We have given back to our families and the community in various ways. With our Pennies for the Holidays drive, we were able to provide several families with holiday meals. Our Angel Tree program provided gifts for students who were experiencing difficult situations throughout the holiday season. As the school year continues, we strive to meet the needs of our families and community.
