Spring Break!

• We will be celebrating Arts Day next Friday, March 30^th. This is an enormous effort and we would LOVE your help.  If you can donate food items, bottled water/drinks, and/or paper products for our volunteers who are participating in Arts Day, that would be fabulous.  These items may be dropped off in the car lane on Friday, or brought to the office earlier in the week.  Thank you so much for your help!
• Another Family University will be held this weekend at Tates Creek High School on Saturday, March 24, 2018 from 8:00-4:00. Family University provides information to parents and community members on various topics.  Please feel free to attend. 
• Crystal Peters will lead many of our Dixie students in a music performance at the District’s monthly School Board Meeting. Please feel free to attend and cheer on our Dixie students. 
• Our SBDM Curriculum Committee is currently looking at adopting a new k through five math program. The District will provide the funding and training to implement the new Pearson math program for the 2018-19 school year.    We will let you know more about this as we gather information. 
• The district is updating all technology over the holiday break. No teacher, staff or administrator will have access to e-mail or district technology over the break.  I want to let you know in case you are trying to communicate with staff during this time. 

• We would love volunteers to help clean the booths we have purchased for the cafeteria. We need help daily between 8-10 and 12:30-2:30.  If you are interested in helping, please contact Cheri Presley at 859-381-3116 or e-mail her at: cheri.presley@fayette.kyschools.us
• If you have not registered for kindergarten yet, but still need to do so, please contact our Registrar, Deborah Lancaster at 859-381-3116. She will help get you registered. 
• We would like to make you aware of a change in immunizations requirements for the 2018-19 school year. Students will need proof of having at least 1 Hepatitis A shot prior to starting school in the fall. Hepatitis A is a series of 2 immunizations that can be given as early as 6 months apart. 

Reminders:

Don’t forget to have you children here early enough to have breakfast.  Also, be sure you are on time to school.  We are arriving at a time in the school year when tardies begin to accumulate.  It is important to get your child to school on-time, every day.   

Senator Thomas Visits Dixie Elementary

On February 12th, Senator Thomas met with the 5th grade class at Dixie Elementary.  Upon entering he was greeted by four OMAC (Operation Making a Change) members and was escorted to the library where he spoke to the classes.  During this time, he shared his personal educational journey, which included attending Bryan Station High School, Dartmouth College, and Harvard Law School.  Students researched Senator Thomas’ life and were well prepared for the Q and A session that ensued.  Senator Thomas encouraged Dixie students to take full advantage of their education and reminded them to not let obstacles stand in their way, sharing, “There’s no such thing as good luck.  Luck equals preparation, plus opportunity.”  Dixie students were also invited to the State House to be a Page in his office during this legislative session.  His visit to Dixie concluded with a student lead tour of the building and him leaving the students two books, one about Kentucky facts, and the other The Legislative Process.
