Happy 1st day of May! We have officially arrived at the last month of school. The next several weeks of school will be full of a variety of learning activities, field trips, and state testing as we bring closure to the year. This past week was busy at Dixie! We had several extended field trips for our students. Our Kindergarten students had a fun day at the Louisville Zoo and our 4th and 5th graders learned so much and had a chance to explore nature at 4H camp. Our Battle of the Books team competed in the district finals and came in 2nd place! On the same night many of our students logged in and enjoyed a fun virtual Science Night hosted by Ms. Sword.

Thank you to those who attended our first Parent Coffee Talk this past Tuesday. We shared the results to the district family survey and discussed ways we can improve communication between families and our school. We hope to make our Coffee Talks a regular event.

This upcoming week is Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week. The Dixie PTA has several activities planned to celebrate our staff. Please see this newsletter to learn how you may contribute. Thank you so much for your support of the staff!

Registration is now open for incoming kindergarten students for the 2022-23 school year! The birthday cutoff to enroll in kindergarten is age 5 on or before August 1st. If you know someone in our neighborhood with a child that is eligible for kindergarten next year, please let them know that the window is open to register! You can find more information here: Registration

Thank you for your partnership as we continue to strive to provide the best learning opportunities and outcomes for the students at Dixie. Working together we are "The Greatest School!".

Sincerely,

Cynthia Bruno, Principal
