Dixon Transportation: Good morning Dixon families of bus 9 students. It is running about 10mins behind schedule this morning. Thanks for your patience!
Good Afternoon what an amazing first day of school for our Preschool and Kindergarten students! Just a reminder for those parents picking up children at Joshua Dixon after school… If coming in from Stanton and making a right, your line will be curb-side in front of the gym. If you are making a left and pulling in, please stay in the second line of traffic. You will need to place the yellow FAMILY NAME TAG on your visor or dash for easy viewing. If you did not get one, please contact the office at 330-482-5355. This will be very help and appreciated by those on duty.
Students who walk home will be dismissed shortly before car riders. Please do not park and ask for your child to be dismissed as a walker as they are a car rider. You will thank us during inclement weather.
Please remember, the office is your PRIMARY and FIRST line of communication, not your child’s teacher. I realize with Remind and Dojo, that it is convenient to text the teacher, however, teachers are busy teaching and, for safety, we want to make certain all transportation adjustments are through the office. The students know and understand the rules and the process and modes of transportation changes can confuse them.
It is important that all PreK-K students know their last name. The name on the Family Car Tag is how they are called from the dismissal room. Many students today did not know their last name and it slowed down the process. Thank you for making this a priority.
Again, if not physically walking, students of those parking will need to wait at the front entrance until all car riders are dismissed. This process is not for the impatient but, given time and practice, it works and most of all it is safe.
Thank you for your understanding and for your continued support.

Dixon: Due to a tattletale unit malfunction, Dixon had a level 2 lockdown drill today. We have these drills 3-4 times a school year. As practiced, all students and staff followed procedures to a tee. I am very proud of everyone. This is why we practice and have periodic drills. We will continue to look into the unit and make any repairs necessary.

Transportation: Bus 6 is delayed due to a train. This may impact other bus routes. Please be patient. Bus 6 is behind picking up students. Other busses may also be delayed.
Spring Fling is just around the corner! We are looking for Volunteers and Donations!
Dixon: Parents/Guardians please be reminded that we have established procedures in place for drop off and pick up to ensure student safety. Please do not drop students off prior to the 8:10am arrival time and leave them unattended. There is no supervision prior to 8:10am and students were found running about the parking lot. Further, the side lot is for staff parking and the entrance is used for bus drop off and pick up. This allows for two separate traffic flows and ensures safety for those students walking to school. Please do not use the side lot. If you wish to park and walk your student(s) to the front door, please use the library parking lot closest to Salem St. or the lot next to the church. We appreciate your cooperation in adhering to the established procedures. Together we can keep all of our students safe! Thank you!
Attention, bus riders: There may be some transportation delays due to road closures with bus routes today. Please be patient. Drivers are working to reroute where necessary. Thank you and have a great day.
