While your child is on break, we encourage you to take a “break from the screens” and read together. The Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE) is partnering with Governor’s Early Literacy Foundation (GELF) to provide at-home reading resources for all Tennessee families of K–2 children for free. Based on a child’s grade level, they will receive an At-Home Decodable 7 Book Series and age-appropriate high-quality books from Scholastic.

This morning we received information pertaining to a perceived threat. Dyer County Schools implemented our security procedures to keep students safe.
