Parents we are excited to share that you can be expecting a phone call in the next few days from your child’s homeroom teacher! If you haven’t heard from someone by next Thursday please call the school.
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.
If you are wanting to be involved in PTO for the 2020-2021 school year please email holicepowell@dyercs.net.
The last day to pick up student belongings will be June 17 from 9:00-1:00.
Upcoming 6th grade families: Fifth grade families, if your child is interested in band at Three Oaks please fill out the Google Form below. If you have any questions contact Mr. Hendren.
Students will have to have a school sports physical for band in order to participate in outdoor, after-school, and off-campus band activities. One sports physical for the school year is good for EVERY sport/ band that the student participates in that school year. More details to follow on sports physicals. Middle school students can be in band and still play sports, cheer, or dance.

Dear HPS Families,
Due to the Governor's Stay at Home Order, we have made the very tough decision to cancel our Easter Egg Hunt Parade. Instead of a parade, we would love for you to place your decorated eggs on the side windows of your car so we can see them as you come through the line at school to pick up breakfasts and lunches on Thursday, April 9 from 10:30 -12:30. You can also can pick up an academic packet on Thursday if you did not make it by the school on Monday.

Dear HPS Families,
It is the beginning of our second week out of school, and at this time, we are out until April 24. If that changes, announcements will be made on social media as well as in the local paper. This is a difficult time for all of us. Please know that you and your children are in my thoughts on a daily basis.
Meals will be provided each day this week. Our pick-up time will continue to be from 10:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. Academic packets will be distributed today and will also be available online at dyercs.net.
Please continue to monitor the district website, the HPS website, and the HPS Facebook page, as this is a great way to learn about any changes. Each grade level also has a Facebook group, so please join the appropriate page if you have not done so.
Our teachers are doing their best to check their emails regularly. If you have a question about any of the work that is provided, please email your child’s teacher. If you need the email address let us know.
We will also have someone answering the phone this week between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and
1:00 p.m. You can call during these times if you have any questions.
Please tell your children that we miss them and are thinking about them. We hope to see you soon.
Warmly,
Rena McKnight
We want to make sure you are connected to your child's teacher. If you are not already part of their classroom or grade level group, please join now. Teachers share lots of information that is relevant to their classrooms in these groups and it is a great way to stay involved and build classroom community.
