Important Dental Screening Information for TK & Kindergarten Families
On Tuesday, October 27, Early Smiles Sacramento will provide FREE dental screenings at Dyer Kelly.
TK and Kindergarten students will automatically receive a dental screening unless a parent says NO in writing.
If you WANT your child to have a dental screening: You do not need to do anything.
If you DO NOT WANT your child to have a dental screening: Please complete one of the forms below and return it to your child's teacher before October 27.
Forms are available below in different languages.
Parent-Teacher Conference Invitations Have Been Sent Home!
Teachers have sent Parent-Teacher Conference invitations home with students. Please check your child's backpack for the invitation. It includes the date and time of your meeting.
Conferences will take place November 16–20. This is your opportunity to meet with your child's teacher and talk about how your child is doing in school.
Important Reminder: School will dismiss at 10:55 AM every day during conference week. Teachers will be meeting with families, so staff will not be available to supervise students after dismissal. Please plan ahead for your child's pickup.
Thank you for your understanding!
Attendance Shout-Out — Ms. Soule's Class!
A big shout-out to Ms. Soule's class for having the highest attendance last week with 99%! They had only ONE student absence the entire week!
Way to go, Dragons!
Being at school every day matters! When students come to school on time, they have more time to learn, grow, and spend time with their classmates.
Thank you, families, for making attendance a priority.
Let's keep it going, Dragons!
Fall Fun Run — Friday, October 30
Get ready, Dragons! We are having a Fall Fun Run on Friday, October 30, during students' regular specialty time.
Students can wear their Fall Spirit Week outfits and enjoy running, music, and fun with their classmates!
Let's have some fun, Dragons!
Rehearsal for Little Mermaid Kids cancelled for Wed. Oct. 28th
The Little Mermaid Kids rehearsal scheduled for Wednesday, October 28, has been canceled.
Please plan accordingly. Thank you!
Breakfast Ends at 7:35 AM
Beginning this week, students must be inside the cafeteria by 7:35 AM to eat breakfast.
We have too many students arriving late for breakfast, which keeps the cafeteria full when class begins at 7:45 AM. This is causing students to be late to class.
If your child eats breakfast at school, please arrive a little earlier so they have enough time to eat and get to class on time.
Thank you for helping our Dragons start their day ready to learn!
After-Hours Campus Safety
For the safety of our students and our school, no one should enter the secured Dyer Kelly campus after it has closed for the day. This includes climbing or jumping over gates. There is no staff supervision after hours.
If you see someone entering the secured campus after hours, please call the non-emergency number at 916-874-5115.
Thank you for helping us keep our students and campus safe.
