📚✨ Literature and Social Studies Curricular Crossover! ✨📚 The Civil War has made an exciting appearance in Ms. Hayley’s 8th grade ELA class! 🏞️ Students dove into novels related to this important historical event, then showcased their creative talents by designing one-page summaries of their books. ✏️🖼️ We’re thrilled to share some of the amazing one-pagers created by our 8th graders! 🌟 These students are not only learning about history but also using their artistic skills to bring these stories to life. 💡🎨 #DCMS #8thGradeELA #CivilWarInLiterature #StudentArtists #LiteracyAndHistory #DCMSCreativity

Decatur County Schools Weather Update:

.
Decatur County Schools is aware of concerns regarding the predicted inclement weather expected in our area today, Wednesday, March 11, 2026. After consulting with Decatur County Government and Decatur County EMA Director Andrew Sparks, the decision has been made for students to remain in school and follow the regular dismissal schedule.

.
Weather forecasts indicate the strongest portion of the storm system is expected to move through our area around early afternoon and should clear by approximately 3:00 p.m. If schools were to dismiss earlier in the day, school buses would likely be on the road during the time the most severe weather is expected.

.
For that reason, Decatur County Schools will continue to monitor conditions closely, but at this time, students will remain in school, dismissal will be at the normal time, and after-school will remain open.

.
The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority, and we will continue working closely with local emergency management officials to monitor the situation and keep the public informed.
