Picture day retakes will take place on Tuesday, November 2.

Caregivers who have not previously ordered a package do not need to bring anything to retake day; however, they can preorder a package at the following link:

Reflections Art Program
Do you have a little Matisse at home? Or perhaps an aspiring poet or dancer? If your child is looking for a creative outlet, get them started on artwork for this year’s Reflections Art Program themed, “I Will Change The World By….”.
Dryden PTA will be accepting submissions through November 4 for the National PTA Reflections Art Program in the following categories: visual arts, photography, literature, music composition, dance choreography and film production.
