• Good attendance is vital to learning. Please make every effort to have your child at school everyday, unless they are ill. Just a reminder, children need to be fever free for 24 hours before being sent back to school. Thanks!

• Please remind your child about appropriate behavior at school.  There are eight weeks left this school year and we still have many important things to accomplish with our students.  We need for the children to be focused on the importance of listening and learning, so they can be better prepared for their future school years.  Thank you!

• BUG Club! –  We are happy to report 153 Dixie Bee students in grades 1 – 5 brought up at least one grade from the second grading period to the third grading period without going down in any subject!!!  Each grading period, BUG students will add their name to a hat and at the end of the school year a name will be drawn for a free bicycle.  We are very grateful to the Kiwanis Club; our BUG Club sponsors!

Hugs,
Mrs. Cassell
