Bullying Prevention Fall Break Tips – Teachable Tuesday
Teach Conflict Resolution Skills: Help students develop the tools to manage conflicts constructively. Teach them to use calm words, active listening, and problem-solving techniques to resolve disagreements instead of resorting to bullying. For more resources, contact your child’s school.
Concerns about bullying or suspicious behavior, you can easily and anonymously share them on our DoCo Tips page: https://www.docoschools.org/page/doco-tips
Together, we are DCSS – One Community, One Voice.

IMPORTANT: Dougherty County Schools will be closed Thursday and Friday in anticipation of severe weather associated with Hurricane Helene. We anticipate normal school operations will resume on Monday. Should plans change, we will send out notifications through the district app, text and email.
We are now in a Hurricane Warning and a flood watch. Hurricane force winds are projected overnight Thursday, into Friday morning. The system is expected to be precipitated by excessive rain on Thursday. This is a dangerous weather system. We encourage everyone to heed the guidance of emergency management officials and take all necessary precautions to ensure your safety and the safety of your family.
