The Depew Middle Schoolers have been focusing on acceptance, as they honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Through worksheets and projects, they've been learning about the civil rights leader's impact and legacy in our nation.

Providing a safe, secure and engaging learning environment that allows students to reach their full potential is the top priority for any school district. All district staff members are integral to this process.
Over the past few days, we experienced severe weather conditions that caused the district to close. We know that the teacher-student interaction in classrooms is essential to the learning process, but effective classroom instruction cannot happen without the support of the Depew staff members that assist and allow for this instruction to occur.
I want to express my gratitude to the members of the maintenance, Buildings & Grounds, Transportation and Cleaning Staff and their Supervisors that worked many hours over the past few days to clear the snow and get the buildings ready for school on Monday.
They are essential to the student learning process and we are all grateful for their efforts.
Dr. Whelan
