November is Family Engagement Month in Georgia. The Governor and State School Superintendent of Georgia celebrate our parents this month. Here are excerpts from the attached letter. "Parents are our children's first and most important teachers. When families are actively engaged in their child's education, students have higher grades, better attendance, and greater self-confidence. This month, connect with your child's teachers, engage in their learning, and explore opportunities for involvement in the local school community. Thank you, Georgia families, for all you do, not only this month but throughout the year, to support your child's educational journey." https://www.gadoe.org/School-Improvement/Federal-Programs/Partnerships/Pages/Family_Engagement_Month.aspx

Dooly County School District Celebrates Prestigious 2024 GSBA Exemplary School Board Recognition
Dooly County School System is proud to announce the achievement and status of the Georgia School Boards Association’s (GSBA) 2024 Exemplary School Board recognition.
This recognition highlights the board’s commitment to continuous improvement, transparency, and collaboration, all of which play a key role in enhancing educational opportunities for every student in the district. The Georgia School Boards Association (GSBA) honors school boards that demonstrate strong governance, helping to create a positive educational culture that supports student learning and achievement.
Dooly County School met and/or exceeded the criteria set forth by GSBA to earn the honor of a 2024 Exemplary Board.
The GSBA Governance Team Recognition Program was developed by Georgia superintendents and board members based on the state board of education’s standards for effective governance to recognize exemplary leadership.
In 1998, the Georgia School Boards Association was one of the first school board associations in the nation to develop a program of standards for local boards of education.
The GSBA Board recognition program is a three-tiered program. For more information on the GSBA award categories, you may visit the GSBA website for awards and recognition to view the criteria for all tiers of the program.
DCMS Bobcats will be in the 2nd round of the playoffs on Wednesday, October 9, 2024!
