Party Time!
First, we would like to extend our thanks to our wonderful parent volunteers that helped serve hot chocolate to the students that attended the PAWS party this morning. We appreciate all of your help, and the students did too!
Class parties will be held on Wednesday 12/20 (times are listed below). If you plan to join the fun, please be sure to park in a parking space (not in the bus lanes out front). Remember, you will need to bring your photo ID and check in at the front desk. We also ask that you do not check students out to attend their sibling's party, (there simply isn't enough room in the classrooms.) You may check your student out to go home early in the classroom with his/her teacher but please keep in mind, you will need to check out siblings in the office prior to the last check out at 2:15.
Winter Class Parties - Wednesday 12/20
10:15-11:00 3rd and 5th
12:15 – 1:00 K and 4th
1:20-2:05 1st and 2nd
Parent Surveys
Parents,
Please help us improve our school by taking a few minutes to complete two very important surveys: one for GCPS and one for the State of Georgia.
Each year GCPS conducts a Parent Perception Survey which is available on the Parent Portal. Once you log-in to your account, the survey should automatically pop up on your screen (make sure your pop-up blocker is turned off if you don't see it). Click here to log-in to your account. If you haven't yet set up a Parent Portal account, please visit our main office at Dyer to complete the brief form and show your valid ID. We also have computers available in the Media Center for you to use to complete the GCPS survey.
The other survey is from the State of Georgia and assists with our College and Career Readiness Climate Star Rating. You may complete the State survey on your computer, smartphone, or tablet or again, at the Dyer Media Center. We would like ALL parents to complete this State survey, and all responses are anonymously submitted directly to the Georgia Department of Education for analysis. Please click here to access the State survey.
We hope you will take a few minutes to complete these two surveys to help us improve Dyer Elementary. Thanks for your support!
