Due to the power line remaining down, parents picking up students at Madison/RMS should use Chicago Ave. to Fargo Ave. when picking up at 11:15 am today. Walkers will be routed to Hemlock for both north and south access. South walkers will utilize the overpass heading toward WalMart. North walkers will be directed toward Hometown Pantry where crossing guards will assist them north on Galena or west toward 7th Street. Buses will be adjusting their routes accordingly. Expect bussing delays and allow for increased traffic today. Please be safe out there.

Congratulations to last week's spirit award winner Mrs. Mitchell! She does an incredible job supporting students and staff each and every day and is smart, caring, and dedicated. She brings a positive attitude every day and keeps a cool head even in tough circumstances. She is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure students have the best chance at success. Recently, she coordinated our state testing and made sure all students had the opportunity to do their best ensuring accommodations were correct, alternate environments were set, and makeups completed. Thanks for all that you do Mrs. Mitchell!!!

Mr. Thorpe is an incredible teacher, coach, and colleague. He brings positive energy every day and makes pe fun for students of all abilities. As a coach, he helps athletes strive for their very best, while ultimately understanding that it’s about building the kind of character that will last a lifetime. We are lucky to work with him and the recently completed dance unit is legendary! Thanks Coach Thorpe for all that you do!

As we wrap up Assistant Principal Appreciation Week, our Principals would like to share a few words on how much they mean to Dixon Public Schools.
Mr. Shaner: "The DHS Assistant Principals do a wonderful job helping to ensure our students and staff are supported each day"
Mr. Magnafici: "Ms. Henegar is a steady, student-centered leader who builds strong relationships with staff and students while keeping a clear focus on growth, support, and success for all. Her positive presence and commitment to doing what is best for kids makes a lasting impact on our school each and every day.
Mrs. Downie brings energy, compassion, and a solution-focused mindset to Reagan Middle School, always going above and beyond to support students and staff. Her dedication to creating a positive, supportive environment helps make RMS a great place to learn and grow."
Mr. Sagel: "Mrs. Mitchell is smart, caring, dedicated, and continually puts others before herself. She is a big part of the reason Madison is a great place to teach, learn, and grow! Thank you Mrs. Mitchell!"
Mrs. Thorpe: "There are people who stand beside you, and then there are people who anchor you, the ones who balance you in a way you didn't even realize you needed. Kelli Full is that person. If I am the left, she is the right. Where I bring perspective, she brings the counterbalance that makes the whole picture clearer. What makes Kelli exceptional isn't just her leadership or skill; it's the steadiness in the middle of the storm. She doesn't shy away from the hard days; she walks straight into them with me. She doesn't endure the battle; she helps transform it. We stand together and that makes us both stand stronger, think better, and lead in a way that makes a difference."
Mrs. Glenn: "Miss Bus comes to school every day with a positive attitude and a smiling face. She never hesitates to help calm a student or assist a staff member. Our school is a better place because of her!"
Mrs. Huffman: "Mrs. Withrow is dedicated to the students of TJD. She creates a fun, positive environment for all students and staff. She is a team player and is resourceful when difficult situations arise. She is my "right hand" who works cooperatively with me to solve any situation. The students, families, and staff at TJD are lucky to have her as Dean of Students."
From the rest of us, thank you for everything you do here at Dixon Public Schools! #BePurple

I want to congratulate last week's spirit award winner Tammy Wolf! Tammy is outstanding and easy to work with both in her role as bus supervisor and her leadership role within Whitson's food service!
She works hard in both roles, is professional, positive, and always willing to go the extra mile to support staff and students. She has a ready smile and is often the first face students see when they arrive and leave from school, while always actively supervising students and keeping them safe. She can easily take vague details for a proposed event and put together something great and delicious that all will enjoy with service second to none! We are lucky to have her in both of these roles and she is a joy to work with!
Thank you Tammy for all that you do!
