Hello 8th Grade and Track parents/guardians, this is Mr. Rogers sending out a reminder about 8th grade individual promotion and track pictures that are scheduled for Friday, April 11th. 8th grade individual pictures will start right away Friday morning at 8:30 am. As a reminder, 8th graders must follow the dress code and caps/gowns will be available if students would like them. If your student is gone on Friday, we will use their school picture in place of the individual picture being taken as we do not have a retake day for these pictures. Track pictures are scheduled for after school at 2:45 pm on Friday. If you need another packet or need the picture code to order online, please call our office at 683-2368, option 2.
Very Respectfully,
Mr. Rogers

Good afternoon, this is Randy Shipman, Superintendent at Dillon Elementary School District with an important announcement regarding bus students being dismissed early today, 2/7/25, due to inclement weather.
Today, all bus riders will be leaving school twenty minutes earlier than normal due to blowing and drifting snow. This will allow our bus drivers to safely navigate the roads and bus students to arrive home safely with a little extra time. Your child may be home a bit early due to the early dismissal time. All other students, other than bus riders, will be dismissed at their regular dismissal time. If you would like to make alternative plans, please contact your child’s office by 1:45 p.m.
As our district remains committed to maintaining timely and relevant communications with staff, families and the community, please contact the office if you have any questions.
Just a reminder that all Robo call transcripts can be found on our district school website and Facebook page.
Thank you and have a great evening.
