Students enjoyed a shared reading, learned about the anatomy of the brain, and explored important vocabulary to help them better understand and talk about neurodiversity. They also had the opportunity to decorate their own “brain,” reflect on what makes them unique, and discuss the ways they learn best.
We are proud of our students for embracing what makes each of us different and celebrating the strengths that make our school community so special!




These students were honored with a medal, certificate, and a donut treat in recognition of the kindness they’ve shown all year long. Their positive actions, caring hearts, and willingness to do the right thing make our school a better place every day. Way to go!


These students are being recognized for going above and beyond, showing kindness, responsibility, and making great choices! Keep up the amazing work!








Happy Administrative Professionals Day! Today highlights our group at Dixon Public Schools who fervently keep our buildings functioning every single day. They answer questions, keep things organized, and help students and staff. They are a key point of contact for our parents too. Their hard work keeps everything running smoothly, and it doesn’t go unnoticed. Thank you for being such an important part of DPS#170! #BePurple

We are so proud of each and every one of you—keep up the amazing work!
