The Dooly County School System hosted "Dips and Dialogue" for its annual Title I and Family Engagement night on September 28, 2023. It was an evening for the Federal Programs Department and school leaders to share information about the Title I budget, academic data and the resources, enrichment and interventions that are provided to students. Students were the highlight of the evening as the Dooly K-8 Art program displayed many of their works of art, the 3rd grade class sang an African folk welcome song, and the marching band played several crowd pleasing selections. Families were also able to visit with various departments and agencies to discuss the resources they provide. They received information about family engagement policies and plans and school compacts and were able to provide feedback and ideas through the family engagement survey.

DCSS Department of School Nutrition had "udderly" amazing interactions with students on World School Milk Day, September 28, 2023. The celebration acknowledges the successes of school milk programs and the health benefits of milk for children which includes nutrients such as calcium, iodine, and vitamins B-12 and B2. At Dooly K-8, students were greeted by school nutrition mascots and were awarded prizes for answering questions and participating in games during lunch. At the high school, the focus was during breakfast where students were treated with delicious cold, flavored coffees. Adding the flavored coffees such as French Vanilla, Caramel and Smore's increased breakfast participation seventy three percent.
