It's U.S. National School Social Work Week. The DCSS would like to recognize our Student Services Director: Dr. Ursula Harris. Thank you for all that you do for the Dooly County School System and community!


This week marks U.S. National School Social Work Week for school social workers. We hope you will make some great plans to celebrate as well as receive much-deserved recognition for the vital role that you provide to students, administrators, teachers, educators, parents, and the community!
The theme for National School Social Work Week 2023 is “We Rise.” School Social Workers rise up - supporting their students, families, and school communities. School Social Workers rise to share hope. They rise to listen and understand. They rise to challenge inequities. They rise to support all students.
Dooly County School System wants to personally thank Dr. Ursula Harris and Ms. Kimberly Floyd for the social services they provide to our students and school family. We are truly blessed to have them on our team. Please thank a social worker today!

February 15th was National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day. The Dooly County School System would like to recognize Captain David Jones.
According to the National Association for School Resource Officers, “The SRO assignment is unique within the law enforcement profession. These officers fill a three-part role, serving as informal mentors or counselors, law educators and law enforcement officers to support the students, and communities they serve. They are valuable and essential members of the education community who deserve unwavering respect and support from the public in the pursuit of keeping schools and students safe.”
Captain Jones is passionate about his job, and cares about our scholars. Thank you for all that you do for our district!

Greetings, Dooly County 21st C.C.L.C. parents,
Due to the level three severe weather threat and potentially hazardous road conditions, the Dooly County School 21st C.C.L.C. after-school program will not meet today. Instead, students are asked to use their regular method of transportation home at the end of the regular school day. Dooly County 21st C.C.L.C. after-school is taking this precautionary measure to maintain the safety of all students and staff.
Thank you!

P-EBT Benefits DHS Issues Additional 2022 Benefits to Eligible Children
The Georgia Department of Human Services’ (DHS) Division of Family & Children Services began issuing a third round of 2021-22 P-EBT benefits in December, this time covering the 2022 summer months for eligible children. Families with SNAP-enrolled children ages 0-5 and 5 who turned 6 during the school year, as well as K-12 students who participated in the National School Lunch Program, are eligible for the one-time $391 benefit issuance.
SNAP recipients will have the benefits loaded onto their current head of household’s EBT card.
Children who are no longer receiving SNAP will have the P-EBT benefits loaded to their head of household’s previous EBT card, provided the state can match the child’s identity from a previous year.
Eligible non-SNAP students will receive a P-EBT card or, where applicable, have the benefits loaded onto a prior P-EBT card if they received benefits in a past P-EBT issuance.
If this is the first benefit issuance to an eligible child, a new card will be provided
