We have had a great start to the school year! Thank you for helping us get our mornings off to a smooth start. ❤️

Just a quick reminder about our morning arrival times:

7:50 AM – The bell rings and our duty teachers come inside as we begin our school day.

7:50–8:00 AM – Students may get out of the car and walk to the front entrance. A staff member will be in the hallway to let students into the building.

8:00 AM – The tardy bell rings. After 8:00, a parent/guardian will need to come into the office to sign their child in.

Thank you for helping us start each day on time and ready to learn! We appreciate your support and are excited about the great year ahead!

🎒❤️ Dwight Families — You’re Invited! ❤️🎒

We are excited to share a wonderful Back-to-School Bash & Backpack Buffet happening this Friday, August 14th, at Wesley United Methodist Church on Cumberland!

📚 What’s a Backpack Buffet?
Students will receive a FREE backpack and then get to “shop” through a buffet-style setup to fill their backpacks with school supplies! Volunteers from our community will be there to help students, encourage them, and make this a fun and meaningful experience. 💕

🍽️ Dinner will also be provided!

This event is open to all families in our community, and we would love to see our Dwight families there! Come enjoy an evening of fun, fellowship, encouragement, and community connection as we get ready for a new school year. 🖤❤️

There’s nothing better than seeing our Dwight Lil' Cyclone Families together! ❤️🌪️

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Popsicles on the Playground! It was the perfect evening to cool off with a popsicle, let the kids run and play, and spend time visiting with friends, families, teachers, and staff.

Sometimes the simplest events create the sweetest memories, and we loved seeing so many smiling faces as we kicked off another great school year together.

Thank you for making our Dwight community so special. We can't wait to see everyone again soon! ❤️🖤
