Shopping for our Spooktacular Book Fair runs from October 19 to October 30, and it takes a village—and some fantastic volunteers—to bring it to life!

We need volunteers to help set up and break down, guide students as they pick out new books, and help with budget math before students head to the register.

Plus, as a special treat, all volunteers receive 10% off their purchases!

Congratulations to Thiago Garcia Rodriguez from Ms. Abraham's class for winning the Golden Bear Art Award! In first grade, we studied the art of French artist Henri Matisse. When Matisse was older, he used scissors to paint- cutting shapes out of bright paper to create an abstract composition. Great job Thiago!

Title: PBIS Rewards: October’s Candy Salad Party & Spooktacular Specials!

At Dyer Elementary, we believe in celebrating positive behavior every single day! Through our PBIS Rewards program, we actively teach and encourage our BEARS expectations—helping our students grow to be Brave, Engaged, Accountable, Respectful, and Safe.

When staff catch students showing these great traits, students earn digital BEARS Bucks in the PBIS Rewards app. Kids can save up and spend their hard-earned bucks in a few fun ways:

• Classroom Prize Carts: Quick, fun rewards right in their own classrooms.

• The Trading Post: Our school-wide store where students can buy entries into monthly raffles or tickets to exclusive school events!

What’s Happening in October:

• Monthly Raffle (10 Bucks/entry): Candy Salad Party! One lucky winner will earn a sweet Candy Salad Party for their entire class!

• Monthly Event (50 Bucks): Spooktacular Specials! Students can redeem 50 bucks to take part in our fun October event during their specials time on Friday 10/30.

Ask your child how many BEARS Bucks they’ve earned this week and what they are saving up for! Thank you for partnering with us to keep our school community safe, positive, and engaging.

Make your student's birthday extra special while helping fund our PBIS Rewards! Both students and staff earn BEAR Bucks for positive behavior and going above and beyond. Students use their BEAR Bucks to enter monthly events like Bear of the Month breakfasts, The Jingle Jog, and Spooktacular specials, or to buy raffle tickets for fun class parties like Crumbl Cookies and Uber Treats. Staff redeem their BEAR Bucks for well-deserved treats from our teacher snack and drink carts!

Here are two easy ways to celebrate on campus:

1. Birthday Wishes in Big Lights! ($10) Display a "Happy Birthday" message featuring your child’s first name and last initial on the school marquee for three full days (their birthday, plus the day before and after).

• Summer Birthdays: Celebrated during their birthday week or the last week of school!

• How to Order: Place your request on MyPaymentsPlus.com under the School Events tab. Please allow 3 business days for processing.

2. Birthday ICEEs for the Class ($30) Treat your child’s entire homeroom to ICEEs! It saves you a trip to the store, and they are free from most common allergens so every classmate can join the fun.

• Distribution: Handed out during lunch on your child’s birthday (or the nearest school day if it falls on a Friday or weekend).

• How to Order: Purchase in advance on MyPaymentsPlus.com under School Events. Please allow 3 business days for processing.

For full guidelines on campus celebrations, please review the Dyer Elementary Student/Parent Supplemental Handbook.
