Weekly Updates 8/10/26

First, thank you so much for your cooperation, patience, and partnership during our first couple of days of school! It has been wonderful welcoming our students back, and we appreciate your help in making arrival and dismissal run so smoothly. We are so excited for our first House Color Day tomorrow! We encourage all our students to show their school spirit by wearing their house color. Moving forward, please encourage your child to wear their house color every Monday as well! 

Speaking of Mondays, please keep in mind that every Monday throughout the school year is an Early Release day with dismissal at 1:45 PM. Our first Early Release Monday will be Monday, August 10th, so please ensure your pick-up arrangements reflect this earlier time. 

We also ask that all families complete the Annual Student Update, which must be submitted every year. If you have not done so already, pleasevisit Dysart.org/ParentPortal or use the Campus Parent app. 

Additionally, per updated state health guidelines, any shared classroom snacks or group treats provided for school events can no longer contain 11 specific food additives or synthetic dyes (including Red 40, Yellow 5/6, Blue 1/2, Green 3, Red 3, titanium dioxide, BVO, potassium bromate, and propylparaben). Please note that this rule applies only to shared group treats and does not affect your child’s personal packed lunch or individual daily snack. For birthday and classroom celebrations, we strongly encourage fun non-food items like stickers, pencils, or bookmarks instead of edible treats! 

 Thank you again for your ongoing support.
