There is currently a water leak in the main building at Demopolis Middle School. As a result, sack lunches will be served today.
Parents who would like to bring lunch for their student may do so. Lunches do not have to be in a separate container if they are being delivered from a local restaurant. Please make sure your child’s name is clearly written on the bag or container.
A table will be set up in the front office for lunch drop-offs.
Restrooms and running water are available in the other buildings. All other normal school operations will continue as scheduled.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we address this issue.
Fall break is just around the corner!!!
Teachers will be at school, Friday, Oct 9 for a Professional Development Day.

Demopolis City Schools Families,
Alabama’s RAISE (Renewing Alabama’s Investment in Student Excellence) Act, signed into law on May 5, 2025, modernizes the state’s school funding formula by providing additional funding based on students’ individual needs.
The RAISE Act provided $166 million in additional funding for the 2025–2026 school year and will provide at least $549 million over three years. These funds can support resources such as reading intervention, academic support, after-school and summer programs, and other initiatives designed to improve student success.
As part of the RAISE Act, the State is seeking family feedback to help identify opportunities to reduce administrative burdens, improve efficiency, and better support our schools and students.
Please take a few minutes to complete the survey by Friday, September 25. Responses are confidential and will be reported in aggregate only.

This is your chance to build a meaningful connection, serve as a positive role model, and make a lasting difference in a child’s life. Plus, students can earn community service credit for their participation!
Pick up an application in Ms. Pacheco’s office at the DHS Library.
The Demopolis City Board of Education will hold its regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, September 21, 2026, at 5:15 p.m. at the Central Office in Demopolis, Alabama.
Today, at DCS, we remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the heroes who stepped forward in a time of unimaginable tragedy.
We also remember how, in the days that followed, people of every culture, background, faith, and race came together—not as strangers, but as one nation united by compassion, courage, and hope.
May we never forget the strength found in standing together, helping one another, and choosing unity over division.
Today, we celebrate Labor Day and recognize the hard work, dedication, and contributions of workers who help make our schools, community, and country stronger.
TODAY — Monday, September 7:
Demopolis City Schools are CLOSED in observance of Labor Day.
TOMORROW — Tuesday, September 8:
Students will be OUT OF SCHOOL while our teachers and staff participate in a Professional Development Day.
We hope everyone enjoys the holiday and takes time to rest, recharge, and appreciate the people whose hard work makes a difference every day!
Monday, September 7 — Schools & offices are CLOSED in observance of Labor Day.
Tuesday, September 8 — Students are OUT of school while our teachers participate in a Professional Development Day.
We hope everyone enjoys the long weekend, gets some rest, and comes back ready for another great week of learning!
At Demopolis City Schools, we know that every school day matters and every minute counts.
When students are in school consistently, they have more opportunities to:
✅ Learn new skills and master important concepts
✅ Build strong relationships with teachers and classmates
✅ Participate in activities, athletics, clubs, and special events
✅ Stay on track academically
✅ Build habits that lead to success beyond high school
Missing just a few days here and there can add up quickly and make it harder for students to keep up. Good attendance isn't just about being present—it’s about being part of the learning, growing, and Tiger community every day.
Parents, students, teachers, and our entire community all play an important role in making attendance a priority.
Show up. Get involved. Stay on track. Succeed!
Every Day Counts at Demopolis City Schools!
