Dixon: Important Attendance Reminder
Dear Parents/Guardians,
As we progress through the school year, many students are approaching an attendance threshold that requires attention. In many cases, absences are marked as unexcused due to a missing excusal note or phone call. Additionally, some absences remain unexcused because a doctor's note from your child’s pediatrician or primary care provider (PCP) has not been submitted.
To ensure your child’s attendance record is accurate, please make sure to provide any necessary documentation for excused absences. If you have any questions about your child’s attendance status, we encourage you to contact the school. We would be happy to provide you with an attendance printout for your reference.
Thank you for your cooperation and support.
We’re excited to share the Dixon Spring 2025 Newsletter with you! 🎉 Stay up to date on all the amazing things happening at Dixon, including recent highlights, upcoming events, and important announcements. Don't miss out—check it out today!

Dear Parents/Guardians,
We want to inform you about Senate Bill 288, a legislative measure aimed at strengthening efforts to prevent sexual abuse and support the well-being of all children. This bill focuses on implementing evidence-based education and resources to empower students, educators, and families in recognizing, preventing, and addressing sexual abuse.
Key provisions of the bill include:
• Age-appropriate lessons for students on personal safety and boundaries.
• Training for school staff to recognize and respond to signs of abuse.
• Clear reporting procedures to ensure the safety and support of affected children.
In compliance with this legislation, Senate Bill 288 requirements will be implemented during the next several weeks at Joshua Dixon Elem.
The letter found in the link below, serves as a passive consent notification. If you have no concerns regarding your child’s participation, no action is required on your part. If you have any questions, concerns, or wish to opt out, please contact our school counselor, Mrs. Cathi Raub-Carney, at 330-482-5355 ext. 34402 or Cathi.Raub@ColumbianaSchools.org
