Letter from the Assistant Principal 

Hi Dixon family, 


The year is coming rapidly to a close, and it seems like this rain won’t let up! I am hoping that rain does, in fact, go away so our children can get some much-needed time outside. This year we have spent so long indoors and separated from each other that any chance to get outside is very welcomed. 
 

Ms. Rosy and I are very excited to offer the Dixon Summer Learning Experience. It will be held here from June 14 - 25, so only two weeks. It’s going to be a really enriching experience, so please make sure to fill out the form in this week’s TidBits by this coming Friday, May 7th, to make sure you could be eligible for enrollment. If you are unable to come, we hope that you are able to have your own enriching summer experience. 
 

As always, thank you for forming part of our Dixon family. Enjoy this spring weather when you can!

 

Best regards, 
Jonathan Leggett
Assistant Principal
