Each week, we challenge students, staff, and parents to a "Monday Mission." These missions are aimed at increasing relational capacity, modeling good social skills, and keeping all members of the Dix Street family connected. Give them a try and encourage your child(ren) to take part in our "Monday Missions!"

Student, Staff, & Parent Mission: Written Affirmation! This week your mission is to pick at least one person each day to write a written affirmation to. Affirmation's are simply a way to let someone know why you appreciate them. I challenge everyone to try to go beyond the surface and focus on character traits of people. Letting people know why they are special to you fills their bucket!

Greetings Dix Street Families! It is so good to be back "home". I have enjoyed meeting with the staff this past week and getting to know all of your students. They have all made me feel very welcome my first week.

I did want to provide the opportunity for families to get to know me, and for me to get to know you! Next week Wednesday I plan to hold a virtual town hall meet and greet. Simply click on this link!

Town Hall Get to Know Meeting:

The second opportunity for a meet and greet will be a tailgate before the varsity home football game next Friday night September 24th. I will be grilling hotdogs for Dix Street families in the far east high school parking lot from 5:30-6:30 PM. See the map below. The star indicates where I will be with the grill!

The last opportunity to meet me will be at our Dix Street Open House on October 5th. More details on this will be coming in the following weeks.

Again, we really appreciate your patience.

Although we had hoped to remain without masks, The Allegan County Health Department has issued a mask mandate for Kindergarten-6th grade students. Details and information about the mandate can be found at the link below and by clicking the button below:

It is extremely important to have up-to-date contact information available for each student. When emergencies arise, we need to be able to contact parents/guardians. This is also the contact information that is used for school closures and district updates.

Please log in to the Infinite Campus Parent Portal to check that your contact information is current and to make any necessary changes. If you need assistance or login information for the Parent Portal, please contact the Dix Street OfficeThank You!
