Attention DPS Families!
Friday, February 27th has been set aside for parent/teacher conferences. This is the third year that Dixon Schools has had Spring conferences. The goal of these conferences is for teachers to communicate interventions and strategies to help students to finish the year successfully. These conferences are being held in just one day and teachers will be focusing on students who may not be prepared to move on to the next grade level. Over the next 2 weeks teachers will be reaching out to specific parents and guardians to invite you and your child to a conference. As noted, these conferences have a specific purpose and are scheduled by an invite. However, if you have a specific academic or behavior concern that you would like to address, please contact your child’s teacher through email or Seesaw to request a conference.
Respectfully,
Doug Stansford
Assistant Superintendent

Congratulations to last week's DHS Spirit Stick winner Jamie Brigl!
As facilitator of our amazing Math Department Mrs. Brigl works continuously to ensure that all students have the most opportune learning environment. Her dedication to her students is inspiring as she truly believes that every student can learn if given the opportunity to grow and ask questions - and Mrs. Brigl works tirelessly to make that happen. Mrs. Brigl has also worked to utilize Advisory to provide students an additional opportunity to receive help in math and because of this our students continue to grow in their math skills.
Thank you Mrs. Brigl for all that you do!
