Happy Literacy Week! Today we’re celebrating Read White & Blue by showing our love for reading and school spirit. Way to go, readers! ❤️🤍💙

Celebrate Literacy Week! Students and staff showed their school spirit by celebrating today’s theme, “Sea to Shining Sea,” wearing shirts featuring U.S. locations and famous landmarks. What an amazing way to bring reading, learning, and school spirit together!

Literacy Week is January 26–30! This year’s theme is “Read, White, and Blue: Celebrating 250 Chapters of America!” Join us as we celebrate the power of reading and explore stories that highlight America’s past, present, and future. Let’s turn the page and celebrate together!

Please join us in celebrating Mrs. McGee on her graduation from the OCPS Emerging Leaders Academy! We are so proud of her hard work, dedication, and commitment to growing as a leader. We can’t wait to witness all the amazing things she will continue to accomplish.

While you were busy being awesome in class, the teachers at Dillard Street were participating in a top-secret, totally underground Spirit Day. 👀 Yup — a spirit day you didn’t even know was happening! Can you guess our theme?

🎉✨ The Stellar Party Patrol made a stop at @DillardSt_OCPS to surprise Lauren Fiallo with the news that she’s an OCPS Teacher of the Year finalist! Her own kids presenting her with balloons made this moment unforgettable. Congrats, Lauren! #ocps #OCPSStellar

Go RED for Red Ribbon Week! Today, our students and staff proudly wore red to take a stand against drugs and kick off Red Ribbon Week with spirit and unity! Our halls were filled with pride, positivity, and a shared commitment to living drug-free. #RedRibbonWeek

Yesterday 3rd grade kicked off their division unit, and the kids had a blast breaking up counters into equal groups! They were so engaged and excited to see how division works in action. BONUS: they got to write on their desks. Love seeing their enthusiasm for math! 💡➗🧡

College pride was on full display at Dillard Street today! Students and staff joined together to celebrate National College Colors Day by wearing their favorite college gear. Go team! #CollegeColorsDay @OCPSnews

Today was the first day of our school composting program and our students were amazing! They learned how food scraps can be turned into healthy soil for our gardens, and their excitement was contagious. We’re so proud to see our school leading the way in caring for the Earth. 🌍

🍎Welcome Back📚 We’re thrilled to kick off the school year with an amazing team of educators! Our first day back started with a delicious breakfast to reconnect and recharge—and continued with valuable collaboration as we dove into our PLC structures and commitments .

We are so excited to welcome our amazing students and families to kick off a fantastic school year! Come meet your teacher, drop off supplies and get info about the new school year. It’s a great opportunity to start building a strong home-school partnership from day one.
