We also have one part-time librarian. Our support staff includes a secretary, an educational assistant, a Title I assistant, a literacy assistant, a nurse/special education assistant, a computer lab technician and a part-time technical secretary.

Last year Dyllis Elementary School launched a reading initiative to insure that all students at every grade level would receive a minimum of ninety minutes of reading instruction daily. Following the Tyner method for teaching reading, students receive both whole group and small group instruction. Teachers utilize phonics and whole language methods to insure that students learn to read fluently, comprehending the reading material. Students are tested several times throughout the school year to determine their appropriate level of instruction. The children are then separated into small groups according to their reading level so that students are challenged at their level of instruction.
A variety of co-curricular activities are available at Dyllis Elementary School. Among these are: Community Celebrations, a K-2 Science Club, SMART (Stimulating Maturity Through Accelerated Readiness Training) Program, a Fall Festival, Boy Scouts, 4-H, River Ridge Environment Camp, After-School Book Clubs, Math Tutoring, Reading Tutoring, Think Link, Accelerated Reader, RIF, Book Fairs, Honors Program, Field Day, Chorus, Spring Carnival, Apples for the Students (Food City), Kroger's Earning plus Learning, Campbell Soup Labels, Presidential Physical Fitness, Box Tops for Education, and other field trips.
