Welcome back! We are excited and anxious to begin the new school year. Think back to your first day…..  Just imagine the excitement and energy that students will bring on Friday, July 27.

I hope the return to school finds everyone invigorated for a year of learning, new challenges, inquisitive minds and building relationships.

Teachers, students, staff, administrators and families will face the school year's challenges with determination and fortitude. Educators from across the state and nation continue to look to Dyersburg City Schools to see the potential in change but also the dedication that Dyersburg City Schools’ teachers give in educating our children. The government can mandate changes but one fact will continue to place Dyersburg City Schools at the front of the curve; OUR TEACHERS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!   Chromebooks, facebook, new curriculum, online testing, and new laws may get the headlines but the teachers make the difference. Teachers and parents are the most important factors in the students’ success each year.

Work hard, play with enthusiasm and believe! Let’s have a great year as the team of DYERSBURG CITY SCHOOLS!
