Join us tonight at Larry Barrett Stadium as our Riverside Panthers take on the Adamsville Cardinals at 7:00pm. Tonight is the pink out game so let's deck out the stadium in Pink in support of Breast Cancer and cheer on the Panthers to another victory!
Regarding messages sent out earlier: the message about hat day is for Riverside students and special snack is for DCMS. Sorry for the confusion!
Next week we will celebrate Unity Day and Down Syndrome Awareness Week. We will have three special "dress up" days county wide in which we can all show our support for our students with Down Syndrome! Please show these students how much they are loved and cared for!

There are a few buses that are behind schedule this afternoon due to the incoming storm. They are all on the road now, and are delivering students home safely.
Tomorrow is picture day at DES!😁
October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month! Look for announcements this week about special "dress-up" days as we celebrate our students with Down Syndrome who are wonderfully made!

Please go vote for Ansley Pratt for the Jackson Sun Athlete of the Week!

Missing 10%, or 2 days a month, over the course of the school year, can affect a student’s academic success. #SchoolEveryDay

School keeps you safe, it educates you, it prepares you for your future. Don’t miss out! #SchoolEveryDay

Morning Greeter, Morning Announcer, and Funny Bone calendars for October are on our website. Go to www.decaturcountyschools.com and find DES. Then click on menu and documents. Thanks!
Reestablishing consistent, predictable routines for learning everyday is essentially to attendance and participation in all modes of learning. #SchoolEveryDay

ATTN: The main car rider line at DES should wait until 2:35 p.m. to pull around to the front of the school in order to keep our emergency lanes open. Thank you!
Bright futures begin with good attendance! #SchoolEveryDay

Congratulations to the Panthers on their Homecoming win over Camden last night 70-27! Great job boys!
