Dear Preschool Families,
We wanted to inform you that there will be no Preschool classes on Friday, December 17, 2021 due to the shortened day schedule. 

Additionally, the  last day for Preschool classes for the 21-22 school year here in Dysart will be Tuesday, May 17, 2022. 

Preschool classes will follow the Monday Early Release schedule on Monday, May 16 and will have a normal school day.

Please join us for our first annual Costume Ball on Friday, October 29th from 5-6:30. The cost is $2 per person or $5 per family. 

Also, our school picture day is Friday. Your child will be coming home with order forms. 

The students at El Mirage Elementary School got a very special visit from the Arizona Cardinals Milk and Cookies Program this week. Big Red, the mascot, got the students energized and ready for reading. Big Red was joined by Cardinals alumni Mark Maddox and cheerleaders Emily and Zaryn who read a selection of books to students.  The students were awarded the special assembly for perfect attendance and leadership skills.  After the reading, students enjoyed a yummy snack of milk and cookies, an Arizona Cardinals backpack, and mini football.
 
The Cardinals, SRP, and Albertsons-Safeway have teamed up for 19 years on the Milk and Cookies program, which supports and promotes literacy throughout Valley elementary schools.

Hello Dysart parents and guardians,

Just a quick note to let you know that we have brought back our Active COVID Cases website (Dysart.org/Cases). The site is being updated by the end of the day each Tuesday and Friday. An active case is noted when the following criteria are met:

• An individual that attends school or works on a campus/site has tested positive for COVID-19 and is in isolation.
• The positive case has been reported to us. 
• We have reported it to the Maricopa County Department of Public Health. 

Please remember that the total number reflects all active AND confirmed COVID cases that are still in effect for the next school day for all students or staff, so that parents have the most relevant information available. As positive cases complete the 10-day isolation period, they are removed from the count, and cases that are in their last day of isolation on the date of the update are not included, since they would no longer be active the next school day. Although the Active Cases website is updated twice a week, please know that we are sending immediate communications to direct contacts as soon as we are aware of a positive case and the information is verified.

The latest COVID updates are always available at Dysart.org/Coronavirus.  We appreciate your continued partnership in keeping our campuses safe and healthy. Don’t forget that students that are sick or awaiting COVID test results should stay home, and parents/guardians may notify us if their student has tested positive on our online COVID Reporting Form. 

Your patience and understanding during this challenging time are greatly appreciated. Thank you

We are currently hiring for crossing guard and paraprofessional positions. If you would like more details please contact our office at 623-876-7200 and visit the human relations webpage to apply.

Good afternoon Dysart parents and guardians:

Each year, school districts are required to verify student information. In order to do so, we ask that you view and complete the Annual Student Update via the Parent Portal online. We want to ensure that we can communicate with families regarding their student, or in the case of an emergency, so it is essential that we have accurate and up-to-date contact information. The Annual Student Update will allow you to confirm or update your contact information, address, student health and emergency contact information and preferences.

Parents/Guardians may also complete all annual acknowledgements online in the update.  Available for review are the Electronic Information Services (EIS) User Agreement, 2021-2022 Student Parent Handbook and Hearing and Visions Screening Information.

A Parent Portal account is needed to complete the Annual Student Update. The Parent Portal can be a great tool for parents to stay informed 24/7 about their child’s academic progress. Grades, attendance, assignments, and more are viewable in real time online or via the app. Parents with multiple students in the district have a single login to access information for all of their children in one place. The Campus Parent app is available on iTunes, Google Play, and Amazon. If you don’t already have an account, you may sign up for one at Dysart.org/ParentPortal.

Please perform your Annual Student Update today in 3 easy steps:
Log into the Campus Parent app or your online Parent Portal account at Dysart.org/parentportal
Click on "Annual Student Update"
