🧡🖤 EVERY DAY IN THE CLASSROOM COUNTS! 🖤🧡
Regular school attendance plays an important role in student success. Even missing one day can mean missing valuable classroom instruction, important discussions, assignments, and opportunities to learn alongside classmates.
We understand that cold and flu season is here, and your child's health and well-being always matter. Please encourage healthy habits, get plenty of rest, and keep students home when they are sick. When they are feeling well, we encourage them to be here, ready to learn!
With the upcoming holiday breaks, let's work together to keep attendance a priority and finish strong. Every day matters, every lesson counts, and every student deserves the opportunity to succeed!
Let's be ALL IN for attendance, learning, and success!

Important Update for Dowagiac Union Schools Families
We are currently awaiting confirmation from the City that the waterline repairs have been completed.
We hope to provide an update by 10:00 PM this evening, if additional information becomes available. If no further announcement is made tonight, families should plan for school to be in session tomorrow as scheduled.
Please be aware that a boil water advisory is currently in effect. As a precaution, we will encourage families to send bottled water with their students tomorrow. Bottled water will also be available at all school buildings to ensure students and staff have access to safe drinking water.
Should the repairs not be completed and school need to be canceled, a “snow day” announcement will be communicated between 5:30-5:45 AM through our normal district communication channels.
We appreciate your patience, understanding, and flexibility as we work through this situation. The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our top priority.
Thank you for your patience as we navigate this.
