Dear Dixon High School Families,<\/span>
\nWe have a lot going on at Dixon High School so please read through the following information.\u00a0 As always, if you have any questions, please let me know.<\/span>
\nImportant Survey<\/b>
\nPlease complete this important survey regarding Secondary Independent Learning Interest for 2023-2024.\u00a0 We really want to hear from everybody.\u00a0<\/span>
\n Just go to this link\u00a0 <\/span>Independent Learning Survey – Secondary<\/span><\/a>
\nParent Evenings<\/b>
\nEven though we met on extremely short notice, we had a great parent meeting this past Monday evening.\u00a0 We discussed everything from four-year plans to student bathroom issues to AVID Elective v. AVID Schoolwide to how freshman students integrate into our campus.\u00a0 It was really nice to be able to just hear parents, seek their input, and clarify why we do things the way we do on campus.<\/span>
\nOur next meeting will be on<\/span> Tuesday, March 14 from 7:00-8:30.<\/b>
\nYouth Conservation Corps Opportunity for Summer 2024<\/b>
\nToday, I shared information about this program with teachers.\u00a0 It provides local youth, ages 15-18, an opportunity to gain work experience and skills, learn about their local environment and explore careers in environmental science, conservation, parks, and recreation. <\/span>Youth Conservation Corp <\/span>\u00a0members will assist with a variety of work projects to help restore and protect the natural and cultural heritage at John Muir NHS and several other NPS sites in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. This experience also includes several educational field trips.\u00a0 If your student is interested, please take a look!<\/span> Youth Conservation Corp – John Muir NHS<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>
\nProm is Just Around the Corner<\/b>
\nWe are very excited about prom this year, especially after a wonderful evening at Winter Ball.\u00a0 Prom is our biggest and fanciest dance of the year and is coming up this spring.\u00a0 In an earlier version of the RAMpage, I announced that it was on May 6 but I was wrong!\u00a0 Oops!\u00a0 Prom is actually on May 5 this year.\u00a0 The dance will be held at the Rancho Solano Clubhouse, one of our favorite and largest venues.\u00a0 We will continue to keep you updated as the students plan the dance.\u00a0 In the meantime, if anyone needs or wants support with prom, there is an organization with a great opportunity!\u00a0 <\/span>The Princess Project (<\/span>PrincessProjectSonoma.org<\/span><\/a>) is a non-profit organization that provides free prom dresses to teens in financial need. Their dress giveaways will be held on select days between February 25 and March 23 at their pop-up shop in Petaluma. Instructions for making an appointment are on the website.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nDHS also has a Prom Dress Closet available for students to shop.\u00a0 Interested students should check in with Audrey Madden or Yolanda Gonzalez\u00a0 in the office.<\/span>
\nFAFSA<\/b>
\nIt is true!\u00a0 Every senior needs to complete a FAFSA this year to earn a diploma – even if they are not planning on attending a four-year college. Also, to be eligible for all types of aid, students need to complete the FAFSA by March 2!\u00a0 Please take a look at this article for some more information <\/span>FAFSA – State Policy Article<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 Our staff is available to help if you need it.<\/span>
\nScheduling for Next School Year<\/b>
\nStudents should have completed their course requests for next year. <\/span>If your student has not completed their course requests, please have them stop by the counseling office ASAP.\u00a0 They will need to complete a hard copy at this point. <\/b>\u00a0Here are some of the documents your student (and families) should be familiar with.\u00a0 We have hard copies of all of these in the office.<\/span><\/p>\n
