We loved seeing our school shine in RED today! ❤️
Our students and staff showed up “RED-y” to give their best effort on the IAR, and the energy was incredible. We are so proud of everyone for showing determination, confidence, and school spirit. Let’s keep the momentum going!

IAR testing is right around the corner, and we’re excited to keep our students motivated and encouraged with some fun dress-up days!
While our 2nd graders do not participate in the IAR, we would love for them to join in the fun and show their support for our hardworking 3rd graders. School spirit goes a long way in building confidence and positivity!
Stay tuned for the upcoming dress-up schedule—we can’t wait to see everyone’s creativity and encouragement on display!
Thank you for your support in helping our students shine!

Students in Mrs. Kingham's class made "Lucky Charms" bar graphs today and had discussions about how their graphs were similar and different. Everyone had a great time!




Check out this week's AMAZING P.U.R.P.L.E. students! They are amazing, and we are so proud of them!








With Dixon pride, they lead the way, doing what's right every single day. They think ahead, they think anew, finding the best for students too! Supportive, kind, a teammate true, flexible, strong in all they do. With open hearts and minds that shine - the Spirit of DPS 170, by design! Way to go, Mrs. Buikema!
