T-Shirt Contest: Each year, Dyersburg Electric purchases T-shirts for the students and staff. Similar to last year, the students have been asked to design the T-shirt again this year. One student’s design will be picked for the 2020-2021 school year. Designs are limited to one color, and designs must be submitted to their teacher by Friday, September 25, 2020. We cannot wait to see all the students’ designs!

Parent-Teacher Conferences
Parent -teacher conferences will be held on Tuesday, September 1, from 3:30 - 6:30. Due to Covid-19 procedures, conferences will look much different this year. Parents will be contacted by their child’s teacher regarding conferences, which are by appointment only. Most conferences will be held over the phone, but if an in-person conference must be scheduled, please note the following protocol:
*Appointments only
*Only one parent/adult per conference
*Temperatures will be taken
*Masks are encouraged
*Choctaw Academy students will be contacted by the Choctaw Academy teacher regarding progress reports and conferences. Choctaw Academy students do not need to attend parent-teacher conferences at Holice Powell.
We are taking applications for our PreK program. Applications can be picked up in the office.

The Dyer County School System plans to release two Frequently Asked Questions documents early next week. One document will answer questions about school reopening and the other document will be specific to Choctaw Academy. If you have a question that might need to be included in either of these documents, please email that question to dcreopening@dyercs .net.
All Dyer County Schools will hold an early registration on Tuesday, July 14 from 9:00am-1:00pm. This is for students new to our system. Please bring the following documents: certified birth certificate, social security number, proof of residency, and the student's last report card.
