DIXON, CA (MPG) - We kicked off the 2023-24 school year, and by all observations and accounts, things went well across the District. It is inevitable that there are small complications and challenges that arise, but our staff is focused on addressing them as quickly as possible. We ask for patience as we do work to fully understand a situation and respond to you, but also commit to being responsive to your needs and informing you of outcomes as soon as possible.

The first place to start asking for assistance or clarification is at the school site. Some issues are at the teacher level and others at the principal level. Bringing issues to the District Office before working with staff at the site will result in you being referred back to the site, so it is always best to start there. For those active on social media who have questions or concerns, it is not effective to start addressing your situation there. Direct contact with the school – where accurate information and assistance is available – should always take place before making a post with partial or incorrect information. Similarly, a question seeking information is usually best posed to the school, but there are many helpful families in the District who can provide basic information or where to find it on the website.

Reminders
1.We are requiring all of our families to complete the Parent Data Confirmation (PDC) process electronically right now. This process gives us the most accurate information. It also provides us with permission or authorization for important areas that relate to your children. If you have not completed this, please go to your personal email that is on file with us to see the directions on how to do so. If you have any questions, please contact your school site.

2.Traffic is terrible! Please try to leave early, take alternate routes, and consider dropping off a block or two away from school to help minimize congestion. We should all also drive as if a police officer was directly behind us at all times – slowly, following all traffic rules, and emphasizing safety above all else. We do have the support of the Dixon Police Department with additional enforcement as school opens, so that police officer behind you might actually be real.

3.We want the very, very best for your students. We cannot serve them well enough without the involvement, support, and follow through from all of our families. Together, our students can learn and develop in the most important ways and at the highest levels.
