Attention DPS Families! There is no school tomorrow.
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.
Please sign up for a parent teacher conference if you haven't already done so!

Reminder: The Community Engagement Committee of Dixon Public Schools is tasked with engaging the community for the betterment of our students and families. We have previously done outreach regarding the school start times, mental health, and attendance. As a committee, we know that parenting is hard. As we continue this community outreach, we would like to hear from our community about topics that are important to you or your child(ren). Please complete the brief, 2-question survey found through the link below to assist the committee in its focus for the 2025-2026 school year. Thank you for your time.

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.
