Students toured the facility, watched a demonstration featuring a new nail trend application and learned more about the skills and knowledge needed to pursue a career as a nail technician. Topics included proper nail preparation, application techniques and the importance of sanitation and safety practices.
Experiences like this give students an opportunity to explore career paths, learn directly from industry professionals and consider possibilities for their future!

Students toured training facilities, learned about the opportunities available through each union, and explored the application process. They also had the opportunity to see apprentices in action and hear firsthand about their experiences as they develop skills and prepare for their careers.
Interested in learning more about apprenticeship opportunities? Here are the unions students visited, along with information about their application processes:
🔹 Carpenters Union – https://mactc.org/ Four application events each year, or applicants can schedule an appointment.
🔹 Millwrights Local 2158 – https://www.millw2158.com/ Four application events each year, or applicants can schedule an appointment.
🔹 Quad City Electrical Training Center – https://qcelectrical.org/ Accepts applications year-round. The application process takes approximately 6–9 months.
🔹 Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 25 – ttps://lu25.org/training/application.html Next application deadline: January 29, 2027.
Experiences like this are an important part of Central DeWitt's Work-Based Learning program, connecting students with local industries and helping them explore career opportunities outside of the classroom. There are many paths to a successful career, and we're glad our students have opportunities to discover them!
Thank you to these Unions for welcoming our students and giving them an inside look at the opportunities available!

On Tuesday, November 3, voters did not approve the $33.7 million general obligation bond for the Connected Campus facilities plan. Unofficial results show 1,317 votes (29.9%) in favor, and 3,091 votes (70.1%) opposed; Iowa law requires 60% approval for a school bond to pass.
These results make it clear that the Connected Campus plan, as presented, did not have the support of our community. It would be premature to attribute that outcome to any one factor. Over the coming weeks and months, we will need to re-engage our staff and community to better understand the concerns and what a plan that can earn broad support might look like.
The infrastructure, safety, and learning space needs identified through our comprehensive facilities planning have not gone away. We remain committed to addressing those needs thoughtfully while continuing our most important work of improving student learning and outcomes.
We want to thank the many community members who attended tours, informational meetings, and other events this fall to learn about the bond issue. Your questions and feedback were valuable, and that kind of engagement will be just as important moving forward. In the months ahead, the district will continue to share information about our facilities and host additional opportunities for community members to learn more, ask questions, and voice their opinions. We encourage everyone to stay involved, because the path forward should reflect the priorities of the community we serve.
Thank you for your continued support of our students and schools.

👏 A special congratulations to Central DeWitt junior Evalyn House, who earned an Outstanding Delegate Award for her work on the second day of the conference!
Experiences like these give students the opportunity to explore global issues, strengthen their communication and critical-thinking skills, and engage in meaningful discussions beyond the classroom.

Students put their problem-solving skills to the test as they made their way through two classrooms and the cafeteria, searching for hidden clues, finding specific items and solving the challenges needed to escape each eerie room.
