– 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 182 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!
