Big milestones start with small steps — and this is an important one! Mark your calendar: Pre-K & Kindergarten Pre-Registration is coming up March 19. If you have a child who will be 4 or 5 years old by August 15, this is an important first step in setting them up for a strong, confident start to school. 💙
🕗 Thursday, March 19 | 8 a.m.–5 p.m.
📍 Register at your local school: Dresden Elementary School, Greenfield School, Gleason School PreK-12, Martin Primary School, Sharon School
Pre-registration helps our schools plan for:
✨ the right number of teachers
✨ classroom space and materials
✨ readiness screenings
✨ and meeting each child’s individual needs
In our Pre-K and Kindergarten classrooms, students benefit from: creative, hands-on learning, socialization and early friendships, foundational academic skills, and confidence-building routines that make school feel safe and familiar. 📚🌱
👉 Be sure to have a birth certificate, immunization record, proof of residency, and proof of income for Pre-K applicants.
We’re excited to meet the next class of learners and leaders! 💫

Bethel University’s PA department visited Dresden Middle School 7th graders this week, bringing science to life! The students who had been studying the heart and lungs in their health science classes had the chance to dive deeper with hands-on learning about these organs. Great job as always by Kerri Smith and the PA team for dedicating their time, and career coach Mrs. Mindy Thomas for organizing such an impactful day for the 7th grade!



Schools across Weakley County hosted Veterans Day programs yesterday to honor and celebrate the brave veterans who have selflessly served our country. Each program was a powerful reminder of the courage, dedication, and love for our country that our veterans possess. We appreciate the hard work and planning that goes into each program to both honor our heroes and educate our students on the service and sacrifice of those who risk their lives for our country and the values of democracy. Thank you to our speakers, local veterans, and community participants for being a valued part of such an important day!
