Central DeWitt School District -

Several juniors and seniors took advantage of visiting the University of Iowa yesterday. Students were able to participate in an admissions presentation, get a tour of campus and eat in the dining hall. Way to go Sabers on exploring your postsecondary options! Next week students will get an opportunity to explore the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. #gosabers #centraldewittcsd #cdhs #collegevisit #possecondaryoptions #universityofiowa #saberssucceeding

Today, our incredible CDIS Kindness Crew, along with a few Central DeWitt High School volunteers, came together to create an extra special start to the day for our students. As our students arrived at school, they were greeted with warm smiles, high-fives, and words of encouragement from these group members. It's all part of our ongoing commitment to fostering a positive and welcoming atmosphere for every student. Thanks for such a great start to our Friday! Go Sabers! 💜💛

Congratulations to Central DeWitt Intermediate School and Central DeWitt Middle School for being named as 2023 National Unified Champion Schools! Only three schools in Iowa were chosen and we had two of them! That’s incredible! Special Olympics Iowa will come at a later date to present the banner and hold an assembly to celebrate! National Unified Champion Schools are chosen based on having “an inclusive school climate and exudes a sense of collaboration, engagement and respect for all members of the student body and staff.” They also have to meet 10 national standards of excellence. In 2021 Central DeWitt High School was also named a National Unified Champion School. We are beyond proud to have schools that continually support, celebrate, and include everyone! #gosabers #centraldewittcsd #cdis #cdms #nationalunifiedchampionschools #saberpride #saberssucceeding #choosetoinclude #inclusion #everyonematters

Today the FFA Officers did an awesome event at DeWitt Randy’s Neighborhood Market! They hosted all the 2nd-grade students and teachers from Ekstrand and took them on a tour of the store. They visited the produce, meat, dairy, frozen food sections. They also visited the bakery where they each got a cookie after learning about how farmers grow the ingredients to make them! We want to thank Randy's Neighborhood Market for hosting the event! #gosabers #centraldewittcsd #ekstrandelementary #ffa #wherefoodcomesfrom #farming #learningisfun

Sixth grader, Christopher Shenker (LEFT), and 4th grader, Erik Nicholas (RIGHT), were key contributors to the work of The Purple Bean this morning at CDIS! What’s The Purple Bean you ask? Operated by Mrs. Jackson and her students, the “coffee and more” store delivers snacks, drinks, and an unlimited amount of smiles across CDIS and CDMS throughout our school week! Not only is The Purple Bean essential to teaching valuable customer service skills, and marketing strategies to students, but it’s also widely appreciated among our employees! It’s outstanding to see the growth of The Purple Bean and its valuable impact on students! Incredible work, Sabers! #gosabers #centraldewittcsd #cdis #cdms #thepurplebean #saberssucceeding #learningvaluableskills #learningisfun
