Parent Survey: We are interested in obtaining information from our parents/guardians related to the PreK-5th grade Holiday Classroom Parties. This survey only takes a few minutes and will help buildings create plans for future Holiday Classroom Parties. Computers will be available in buildings on Thursday & Friday during conferences to complete the survey. The survey will close at 5 pm on Wednesday, October 15th.
Every coin counts, and all funds raised will support organizations in our own community, including Dixon Public Schools. Let’s come together, spread the word, and get those containers filled!

Our Spirit Stick winner for this week is Mr. Magnafici!
He greets our bus students every morning and sees them onto the bus every afternoon. He makes sure our students are safe, and he may even sneak them a treat or two for the ride home. After bus duty, Mr. M works the front desk to help with the lunch count for our students and they all love having the job of bring their class's bag down to him. We are so lucky to have him here at Washington!
We also have new options for wrestling gear, flags, etc.

The Dixon Public Schools Board of Education is continuing its search for the district’s next permanent superintendent with the support of the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB) Executive Search team.
As the Board narrows the field of candidates to semifinalists, community input will play an important role in the final selection process. On the evening of Wednesday, October 29th, a representative group of district staff, parents, and community members will have the opportunity to meet with the semifinalist candidates, hear them respond to questions, and provide feedback to the Board.
Those interested in volunteering must be available from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on October 29th and should email Erin Grubic at egrubic@dps170.org or call 815-373-4966 by Friday, October 17th. If the number of volunteers exceeds available spots, participants will be selected to ensure broad representation across the community. If selected, you will be sent additional information about the interview process.

When your student is in school consistently, they’re not just keeping up with lessons—they’re building strong habits, friendships, and the confidence to succeed. Missing even a few days here and there can make it harder to catch up and stay engaged. Regular attendance helps your child stay connected, supported, and ready to reach their full potential. Let’s team up to help them thrive—one day at a time! 🏫🎒📝
