In Case of Inclement Weather...
Just a friendly reminder that in the event of inclement weather, Gwinnett County's school calendar has two (2) make-up days built in, but the county could opt to use a Digital Learning Day instead. In the event that the decision is made to use a Digital Learning Day, Dyer Elementary School will alert you through electronic communication. This information will also be posted on Gwinnett County Public School's website. Please find the flyer below with more detailed information regarding Digital Learning Days and the use of eCLASS.
It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
- Five Below Spirit Week - Shop at Five Below, Mall of Georgia from 12/3 - 12/9 and a portion of your sale will go back to our school. Flyers will be located at their registers, just be sure to let them know you're with Dyer Elementary when you check out.
- Hat Day for PAWS is 12/12, pay $1 to wear a hat to school. Proceeds help support our PAWS program.

Last but not least, we would love to have a little holiday fun during the last 4 days before Winter Break (12/17 - 12/20). Please join us in our fun countdown by dressing up each day. (If you need supplies, head to Five Below during spirit week this week.)
Countdown to Winter Break:
Those last 4 days seem to take forever.
Let's make it fun by dressing up together!
Students and staff can all take part,
Each outfit will be like a work of art!
On Monday we'll be so full of cheer,
let's dress in the theme of Santa's reindeer!
When Tuesday arrives, it will be your pick,
Dress as a snow pal, or Jolly St. Nick!
Wednesday will be a "Workshop Scene",
Dress like an elf or wear red white & green!
Thankful on Thursday, we'll surely be.
How will we dress? It's a mystery!
Crazy socks, elf shoes or straight out of bed?
Anything to make us smile and not lose our head!
Sip & Slime PAWS Party - Wednesday 12/19
Tickets were due today, and at our last count, this will be the most highly attended PAWS party to date! Parents & family members, we're going to need your help!
Join us as we celebrate our bears' good character by creating our very own slime to take home.

Birthday Wishes in Big Lights!
****Special Notice**** The deadline to add December birthdays to the marquee is Friday, 12/7. If your child's birthday falls during the end of December or on January 1st, be sure to have their birthday added prior to the deadline.
We will continue our PAWS program school-wide. The goal of this program is to not only notice positive behavior, but also to reward that behavior. You can help support the funding of this program, and wish your child a happy birthday on our school marquee at the same time. It's a win-win! For a $5 contribution, a Happy Birthday message along with your child's first name and last initial will be displayed on our marquee for three days during the week of your child's birthday. Summer birthday? Not a problem, We will display summer birthday messages during the last week of school and during their birthday week. NOTE: Your child's name will be displayed on their birth date as well as the day immediately before and after. Orders can be placed via Mypaymentsplus.com under the School Events tab. Please note, requests will be processed the next business day.
