This was a drill - at 10:16 a.m. we participated in the Great American Shakeout. This drill is observed over much of the United States in October of each year. Students were directed to "Drop, Cover and Hold on." If you would like more information on the drill and emergency preparedness, please refer to https://www.shakeout.org/resources/

[[Reminder]] Dayton Secondary will be participating in the 2025 Healthy Youth Survey between the dates of October 6-10, 2025.

All students in grades 6 thru 12 will be asked to participate in the survey. The survey asks about how youth perceive they are doing, social relationships, mental health, substance use, activities and interests, and more. Our community, the school district, and public health agencies use the anonymous data to help develop policies and programs that best support our youth's well being. For the youth this is a meaningful way to contribute to the planning of their future.

If you have further questions or to have your child opt out of participating in the Healthy Youth Survey please contact: Kristie Korslund - kristiek@daytonsd.org

[Announcement] I would like to announce the name of the new District Office Correspondent for the 2025-2026 school year, Miss Karmain Pollan. Karmain has come highly recommended as our next DO Correspondent and will be responsible for working alongside me as we create articles, stories and tidbits to share with you, our community. As part of the application process, applicants were asked to write a brief paragraph of what they are looking forward to about summer. Please enjoy Karmain's submission and welcome aboard Karmain! "Summer is such an amazing time to relax and take a break from the regular stressors that affect our everyday lives. There are numerous fun recreational activities to enjoy, including All Wheels Weekend, a fantastic community event held around Father's Day. I am super excited for that weekend, it’s such a fun time to spend with family and friends while getting to see a lot of cool cars on display. The Demolition Derby that takes place at night is incredibly fun; the crashing and racing are amazing to watch. I highly recommend attending the events during All Wheels Weekend." - Karmain Pollan, DO Correspondent
