Pre-registration for kindergarten and students in grades 1 - 5 who will be new to Dryden is now open. Information and step-by-step registration guidance will be available on the district website at www.sd25.org/Registration on that date.

Pack the Piggies Fundraiser!
Are you ready to Pack the Piggy, Dryden? The Arlington Heights Council of PTA’s (AHC-PTA) funds $15k annually in scholarships for former D25 graduating seniors in D214. This year, the AHC-PTA will be running it’s 5th “Pack the Piggies” fundraiser across the district to raise money for these scholarships.
The contest begins Monday, February 2 and goes through Friday, February 6, which gives us 5 days to pack our piggy to reach our goal! Each district school’s goal is to raise $1 per student. Our school's goal is $451. If we reach our school & district goals, Dryden will celebrate with a fun celebration - stay tuned for details! To help reach our goal, students can bring in coins, cash, or checks (made out to the AHC-PTA) and pack our piggy in the main hallway!
Let’s have some fun for a great cause starting Monday, February 2!
