Today, the DC BOE received a phone call from the Secret Service Field Office in Memphis and were notified that students from Henderson and Decatur Counties personal information may have been used to fictitiously file taxes and apply for loans. If you have received any suspicious calls, emails, or letters regarding your students personal information asking for or to verify their information, please email Dr. Lyndi King at lyndi.king@decaturschools.org or Mr. Hugh Smith at hugh.smith@decaturschools.org with your child’s name, school, the contact you received (call, letter, email), and a call back number to reach you. If you have not received any suspicious contacts, there is no need to contact us at this time. Thank you very much!

A great job with attendance this week. For this week, it looks like 4th grade wins the first week of our attendance competition. Overall, our school was at 4.4% absenteeism for the week.
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!
