The Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE) is partnering with Governor’s Early Literacy Foundation (GELF) to provide at-home reading resources for all Tennessee families of K–2 children for free.

This morning we received information pertaining to a perceived threat. Dyer County Schools implemented our security procedures to keep students safe.
