The purpose of this survey is to gather information regarding our programs within the Dixon Unified School District as we plan for the future needs of our students and staff. We appreciate you providing us with input in several areas as specified.

Updated Mask Guidance
As announced last week, the Governor issued an order making masks optional in the school setting. This updated policy goes into effect on Monday, March 14th at all sites and locations across the District.

We are sharing a parent education opportunity in partnership with Dixon Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Prevention Coalition. You can register by filling out the form https://forms.gle/Vh81qFJ4WsaDi4PB7. Please see the flyers for additional information.

Come and find out information on becoming your child’s best advocate and discover the resources that are out in the community for you to access in support of your child.

Following Board action tomorrow evening, you can expect that Dixon Unified will open our schools on March 14th with masks optional.  Please look for confirmation of this decision to be issued this Friday, along with any related information that you will need to have.

We expect to receive new guidance on masks on Monday, February 28th. It is anticipated that Governor Newsom will be announcing a date where masks will become optional in school settings. We will be sure to pass this information along as soon as it is available. Until such a date, mask remain mandatory inside.

Beginning Tuesday, February 22nd, the District will be relaxing its requirement on wearing masks while outdoors on campuses. The biggest impact of this is that masks are not required during recesses, lunch, breaks, physical education that is outdoors, and other times students are outside. Masks will be optional outdoors.
