Thank You!
GCPS Parent Surveys
Thank you to everyone that completed the Georgia Department of Education survey during conferences last week. We have one more survey that we need your help with.
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).
If you do not have a Parent Portal account, you may visit our front office to complete a Parent Portal form, along with showing a valid ID, and we will get you signed up for an account.
Click here to log-in to your account.
** You may also come in to Dyer Elementary School and take the survey on paper, or on one of our GCPS computers. **
Bruster's Blue Ice Day - Wednesday 11/14
Holiday Lunches are Coming!
Come one, come all
We'll have a ball
Please join us for this festive time
It'll cost a bit more than a dime.
But, to kick off the season,
Well, who needs a better reason?
Food, family, fun
So be sure to come.
Hope to see you there,
Bring $3 for lunch, it's more than fair.
WED. 11/28: PRE-K & K @ 10:45 / 4TH @ 11:30
THUR. 11/29: 1ST @ 10:45 / 2ND @ 11:30
FRI. 11/30: 3RD @ 10:45 / 5TH @ 11:30
Parents with multiple students are encouraged to join each of their children on his/her designated day for some quality one on one time. That said, we realize this isn't always possible. If that is the case for your family, you may choose which of your children's days works best for your schedule, and then check your other student(s) out and have them join you. After lunch, you can check them back in and send them back to class; just be sure to let your child's teacher know in advance so they are aware.

Birthday Wishes in Big Lights!
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.
