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, Mr. Payne!

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

Today we had the joy of celebrating our Kindness Award recipients with a special donut treat this morning! 🍩

These students were selected by their teachers for consistently showing what it means to be kind, respectful, and responsible. They are the ones who do the right thing... even when no one is watching. They help make our school a better place each and every day.

We are so proud of you and grateful for the positivity you bring to our school community.

Due to the power line remaining down, parents picking up students at Madison/RMS should use Chicago Ave. to Fargo Ave. when picking up at 11:15 am today. Walkers will be routed to Hemlock for both north and south access. South walkers will utilize the overpass heading toward WalMart. North walkers will be directed toward Hometown Pantry where crossing guards will assist them north on Galena or west toward 7th Street. Buses will be adjusting their routes accordingly. Expect bussing delays and allow for increased traffic today. Please be safe out there.
