Happy October!
The DPS #170 Wellness Committee’s focus for the month of October is Hygiene. Throughout the month, we will be sharing helpful information, tips, and resources to support the health and wellness of our students, staff, and families.
To kick off the month, we wanted to highlight a few local resources that may be helpful for families who need assistance with hygiene or other basic necessities:
• Dignity Drive of Dixon – Check them out on Facebook
• Goodfellows
• Lee County Health Department
• Your school nurse is also a great resource and can help connect families with additional support.
Please reach out should you have a family in need, and I will work to find a community resource that can help. We have many great organizations and individuals throughout our community who are willing to support our families when a need arises.
Thank you for continuing to look out for our students and families and helping connect them with the resources they may need.

Attention DPS Families! Today is National Custodian Day! Their hard work often happens behind the scenes, but it does not go unnoticed. Whether it's keeping our school buildings clean and safe, to touch up paint jobs, tearing down/cleaning up after sporting events, or just lending a helping hand, they help create a place where everyone can feel comfortable, welcome, and ready to teach or learn. Not all of our custodians are pictured, but this day goes out to all of them.
