🎉 A proud moment for Dixon High School! 💚🐏

Please join us in celebrating DHS teacher Michael Vlach, who contributed feedback to College Board’s revised AP Computer Science Principles course framework! Mr. Vlach and Dixon High School are recognized in the acknowledgments alongside educators and experts from across the country.

This recognition reflects Mr. Vlach’s dedication to expanding opportunities for our students and sharing his expertise beyond our classrooms. Thank you, Mr. Vlach, for representing Dixon and helping shape computer science education!

💻 AP Computer Science Principles introduces students to computing while building creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills they can use across subjects and future careers. It can also be a great first AP course for students ready to challenge themselves.

As course registration approaches, we encourage DHS students and families to talk with their counselor about AP Computer Science Principles!

Dual Immersion Program Expansion:

More Dixon Unified students are building bilingual futures! Last year, Gretchen Higgins Elementary expanded dual immersion from K-2 to TK-3 and introduced new Spanish-language math and literacy instruction.

This year's plan extends the program through fourth grade as we continue toward a full TK-6 program in 2028-29. We are proud of our students' learning and grateful to the educators and families helping this opportunity grow.

Kindergarten to 5th Grade Early Literacy and English Language Arts:

To make sure all of our elementary school students has a strong foundation in reading our elementary schools started a new program where every student gets reading instruction that is "just right" for them. This program is called "Walk to Read" because once a day, four days a week our students walk to another classroom on campus to get specialized and indivisualized reading instruction.

Our elementary students showed literacy growth across grade levels during the first year of Walk to Read! With new reading programs in English and Spanish, additional staff, and targeted training, our teams have built a stronger foundation for early literacy. Thank you to our students and educators for their hard work. Next, we will deepen Walk to Read and pilot new K-8 English language arts materials to build on this progress.
