Parents are continuing to park in the side lot. Please do not. We have arrival and dismissal procedures in place. Children know the rules and want to follow them. Thank you for your attention to these important safety procedures. Together, we can keep our parking lot safe for everyone!
Beginning Monday, November 11, 2024, the city’s sewer expansion project may impact Dixon’s traffic flow during arrival and dismissal. City workers are going to try hard to maintain one-lane of traffic on Stanton Ave. However, there is the potential for road closures at Stanton and Main, as well as Stanton and North Middle. Closures will be clear and visible. For safety, temporary alternate routes that may be used are Cherry St. to N. Middle or coming in on Salem St. will work too.
Monday, Nov. 11, 2024, is National Kindness Day! To kick-off our every Monday kindness lessons, please wear your ALWAYS BE KIND shirt! Kind shirts may be worn every Monday!
Have a great weekend!
