Congratulations to our September student of the month Bristol Passmore and our September staff of the month Monica Childers!



Smart Start Mondays are going well! From 7:45-8:45, teachers are meeting in collaborative teams to look at essential standards and data. Students are divided up by grade level and are doing literacy activities on comprehension and vocabulary with our specialists and paraprofessionals.










We had a fantastic day at Dwight Elementary with lots of happy children excited to be back together as a school family! Thank you for your patience during dismissal and for following our procedures! It always takes longer in the beginning and will get smoother and faster each day! Tomorrow is regular arrival time! Students can be dropped off at 7:30. School begins at 7:50! See you in the morning! - Mrs. Malin, principal


Hello Lil Cyclone families!
I want to give you some tips for helping us make arrival and dismissal to be the best it can be this year!
Smart Start Monday begins tomorrow! This means regular dropoff will begin at 8:30 and school will begin at 8:50. If you need early drop off, we will have staff members available for your child at 7:30. Tuesday through Friday, drop off begins at 7:30 and school begins at 7:50.
When you bring your child to school, stay in your vehicle and pull through our circle drive. For safety purposes, your child should exit the vehicle on the passenger side. We will have adults out front to assist your child should they need it. Parents will not be allowed to walk their child into the building; however, I can assure you that we will take great care of them and help them every step of the way!
This year we are asking you not to check your child out early. In fact, no one can be checked out after 2:50 so that we can ensure a smooth dismissal.
At dismissal, car rider parents will pull through the circle drive. Have your car tag visible to our staff. Our staff will say your child's name over the walkie talkie and your child will walk out to a colored cone. A staff member will load your child for you. If you need to get out of the vehicle, please stay in your car and pull up to the end of the drive before getting out so that our car line can continue moving efficiently.
We are looking forward to a great year with our Lil Cyclones!
