Fitch Camp: Fitch Camp Registration forms are being sent home to all 2nd-5th grade students. Forms are to be turned into the secretary at each building or scanned to Mr. Turner at, jturner@dowagiacschools.org. Registration will be cut off when we have reached our limit so make sure you get registered sooner rather than later. We will send a message over Facebook when registration is cut off.

Reminders

OUTSIDE LUNCHES: The district does not allow outside lunches to be delivered to school for students.

Given the increase in illnesses, this serves as a friendly reminder about the importance of proper handwashing.
