From Ms. Keeshia Carter:
I would like to nominate Mr. Lynorris "Pete" Thomas for the Bobcat Coin of Distinction! As an alumnus of Dooly County Schools, Mr. Thomas provides landscaping services for Dooly County Schools and donates his time and energy to the faculty, staff, and students of DCSS. Mr. Thomas has donated countless hours and items, including but not limited to cook ware, meat, and pressure washing services to the Bobcat Marching Cats! He continues to remain humble and committed to the Dooly County community and the Dooly County School System.
From Dr. Barbara Bryant:
Mr. Thomas does an outstanding job in maintaining the campuses in our district. However, we were pleasantly surprised Monday morning when we arrived at PREP and noticed the beautiful landscape at PREP Academy. Mr. Thomas donated his personal funds to purchase red mulch to improve the appearance of PREP Academy.


Dear Dooly County School System Families,
Due to significant increases in Covid outbreaks during the holiday season, the Dooly County School System will enforce the "masks required" protocol beginning January 3rd. All students, faculty, and staff are required to wear masks on buses and in schools except when eating or otherwise advised by school staff. Please remember to stay home if feeling sick, socially distance when possible, and wash hands regularly.
We will monitor Covid spread and make decisions to adjust plans based on scientific data. Thank you for your support in these efforts to keep everyone safe.

The DCSS School Board is holding their monthly meeting on Thursday, December 16th at 6 p.m. We will follow guidelines provided by the CDC in holding the meeting. The Media will be allowed to cover the meeting live. The public is encouraged to view the meeting via Facebook Live from the Dooly County Schools Facebook page.
