Save the date! Parent-Teacher Conferences are coming up on January 30-31. Early dismissal at 12:30 PM.!"


WEATHER CLOSURE: Based on the current conditions, it’s not likely that Tuesday’s historic snowfall will melt away before temperatures drop again tonight, which could lead to unsafe road conditions for our buses Thursday morning. Out of an abundance of caution, the DCSS will close schools Thursday with plans to reopen Friday.

WEATHER INFO: The district is monitoring an approaching cold front that has the potential to bring snow and ice to our area next week. We will provide updates on our official channels - website, mobile app, SMS and Rooms -- if there are any changes to school operations.

Congratulations to Robert Cross and Lincoln for being honored for excellence by the Georgia Department of Education! Read more here: https://www.docoschools.org/article/1968702
