Student Dress Code

Student dress code unchanged for 2010-2011The Dysart School District believes that there is a connection between student dress and academic success. In the spring of 2009, a Strategic Plan committee reviewed and revised Dysart’s student dress code. The committee consisted of parents, teachers and administrators. Dress code revisions were approved by the Governing Board and were implemented in the 2009-2010 school year. Dysart’s student dress will remain unchanged for the 2010-2011 school year but greater focus will be made on consistently enforcing the dress code. The student dress code can be viewed at www.dysart.org under the tab, “Parents and Students.”

DYSART SCHOOLS —

The most prominent items in the K-12 student dress code include:

Shirts/Tops

Pre-School Screening

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — May 10, 2010

Dysart preschool announces screening dates for 2010-2011

DYSART SCHOOLS — Do you have concerns about your preschooler’s development? The Dysart Early Childhood Education Center has added additional free Child Find Screening dates to allow families more choices to have their 2 year, 6 month old to 5 year old non-kindergarten eligible children be screened for developmental delays.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA, 2004) requires that public school agencies ensure that all children from birth through age 21 with delays or developmental disabilities are identified, located and evaluated to receive the supports and services they need. This includes all children living within the geographic boundaries of the school district including children who are homeless or wards of the state, children with disabilities attending private schools or those who are home schooled.

Public schools and the Arizona Early Intervention Program are responsible for “finding” eligible children and providing services needed for them to reach their developmental milestones or meet their educational needs. The Dysart preschool screenings, conducted at the Dysart Early Childhood Center, address vision, hearing, motor, speech and language, self-help, cognitive and social skills. The time to complete a screen is approximately one hour. Parents must be present with their child during the screening process.

Screening dates for the 2010-2011 school year are:

August 2	August 16	August 30	September 13
September 27	October 25	November 15	November 29
December 13	January 10	January 24	February 14
February 28	March 28	April 11	April 25
May 9	May 18

For more information or to schedule a special needs screening appointment, please contact the Dysart School District at (623) 876-7022. For information regarding screening children ages birth to 2.5 years old, please call the Arizona Early Intervention Project at (602) 771-1700. The Dysart Early Childhood Center is located at 17999 W. Surprise Farms Loop South, in Surprise.
