It's the Most Wonderful Time of The Year...
The fun continues this week with several events/activities:
Dyer Spirit Week at Five Below in Buford (Mall of GA location) begins tomorrow (12/2) and runs through the following Saturday (12/9). Present the flyer below at checkout and a portion of the proceeds will benefit our school.
Our Chorus & Drama Clubs' presentation of 101 Dalmatians is Thursday at 7:00PM in the cafeteria. (See flyer below for more details.)
Friday is Hat Day...for just $1 students and staff can wear a holiday (or any type) of hat to school all day. Proceeds benefit our PAWS program. Speaking of PAWS, our next celebration is Friday 12/15. We are looking for a few parent volunteers to help serve our awesome bears hot cocoa and cookies between 8:00-10:00 AM.

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!
