Dear Class of 2026 and families,
Happy Friday! It was great to see students back in the building after a much-deserved break last week. There are just two weeks left before Winter Break. It’s a busy time of year, so make sure you are finding time to decompress at the end of each day.
The deadline for January 2026 Dual Enrollment is Thursday, December 11, 2025. Students who are interested in taking classes at WCC during the winter semester should schedule a meeting with their counselor as soon as possible. All paperwork and registration must be submitted by December 11th.
Next Friday, December 12th, is a full-day professional development day for staff. There is no school for all students.
Friday, December 19th, is the deadline for senior pictures, ads, and quotes! Don’t wait until the last minute, submit your picture, ad, and quote today!
Information for yearbook and ad purchasing can be found here: Yearbook and School Photos - Dexter High School
The link for students to submit their senior quote is on the Class of 2026 Canvas page under the Yearbook Information Module (see image below).
Have a great weekend and go Dreads!
