Jefferson Elementary

Good afternoon. This is Dixon Public Schools calling to inform you that school will be canceled for tomorrow, Friday, January 23, 2026. This decision is based on the Cold Advisory provided to districts from the National Weather Service. Tomorrow will be an inclement weather/snow day that will be made up at the end of the year. Please check our website for athletic and activity updates. Thank you and please be safe tomorrow.

Reminder: There is no school tomorrow
