Dixon Middle School

This evening I had the chance to meet Mr. Jarod Sites, the new principal of Dixon Middle School (see the June 26 post).  I was impressed with the man and his vision for our local middle school.  He expressed a willingness to hear from parents; stated that he would soon know every one of the students by name; committed to interviewing each of the teachers and staff by August first; and has plans for expanding the available courses for students at Dixon.  Parents who attended the open house expressed support for high standards in academics and behavior. They seemed pleased with the specific plans that Mr. Sites described and gave suggestions for additional improvements

District School Board member and open house host, Kristine Manwaring asked those who were attending what they thought of several plans currently under consideration, including replacing Dixon with a new middle school on the Grandview Elementary site sometime in the next 5 years.  Mr. Sites asked for parent comment on the unfinished track on Dixon's field.

If you have 7th or 8th grade students this year, I encourage you to stop by Dixon Middle School some time this summer to meet Mr. Sites.  The number one indicator for a child's success in school is involvement by parents in their child's education.  Mr. Sites welcomes you to become involved in your child's Dixon Middle School experience.
