TCAP: Our students and teachers have been working so hard all year. Now it's time for students to show what they know.
It is extremely important for your child to be on time and present each day for their assessments.
Make sure they get a good night's sleep. It's hard to test on an empty stomach, so make sure they eat breakfast at home, or get to school in plenty of time to eat.
Families, remind students to relax and to give their very best effort. Give them an encouraging word each morning.
April 21-28: TCAP Testing Grades 3-5
April 28-May 5: TCAP Testing Grade 2
Please read the following attachment about changes in the car rider dismissal process.
If you still have a learning camp form, we need those returned by April 18, 2021. This is a great, free learning opportunity for the summer.
Pre-kindergarten registration: Dyer County Schools will register children for the Pre-K classes on Thursday, April 29, 2021 from 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m., and on Friday, April 30, 2021 from 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at the Milton McGee Auditorium, 159 Everett Avenue, Dyersburg. Applications will be available the day of registration, or on the dyercs.net website beginning April 30.
Your child must be four years old by August 15, 2021, to be eligible for the program. If you are interested, please bring the following information with you the day of registration:
Child's Certified Birth Certificate (not the mother's copy)
Child's Social Security number
Proof of income for ALL adults in the household
Child's most current physical and shot record (TN shot form)
Proof of residency (utility bill or lease)
Please remember, applying for the Pre-K program does not automatically enroll your child. Notification letters will be mailed at a later date.
Please bring your child to registration if possible. Vision, speech, and hearing screenings will be conducted.
Kindergarten Registration: Registration for kindergarten for the 2021-2022 school year will take place on Thursday, April 29, from 8:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at Holice Powell School.
A child must be 5 years old on or before August 15, 2021, to attend kindergarten during the 2021-2022 school year.
Parents may pick up registration packets at their child’s school prior to the registration day. Included in this packet will be
• an explanation of requirements for enrollment
• registration form
The registration forms will also be available at dyercs.net and can be completed and submitted online, but parents must go to the school to turn in all other required documents.
On registration day, parents bring the following:
• child’s birth certificate
• child’s social security number
• certification of immunization (if you have physical and immunization record already completed)
State law requires that all children have a physical examination and proof of immunizations before entering school. You may register your child without the immunization record and physical, but you must have them both before school begins on August 3, 2021.
TCAP testing is April 21-28 for grades 3-5 and April 28-May 5 for second grade. This is mandatory in person testing. Please do not schedule appointments for your child on these days.
