Our students have been enjoying number sense routines! Thank you to our local AMSTI specialist, Mrs. Byrd & our Math Coach, Mrs. Pittman for modeling this engaging number sense routine in classrooms this week. #OMIbetterTogether #alabamaachieves #amsti4all
Mark your calendars with these important dates!
Congrats to these students who received our first shout-outs of the year! Each week teachers send in shout-outs to recognize students for being awesome! Your student can earn shout-outs for helping teachers and friends and doing other random acts of kindness! Principal Fleming gives these students a small token of appreciation! 🌞
Mark your calendars for picture day!!! The 4th grade classes are split between 2 days so pay close attention to the homeroom teacher's names!
DCS Families,
Don't forget students at all four schools receive free breakfast and lunches through the Community Eligibility Program under the National School Lunch Program and/or School Breakfast Program! Children need healthy meals to learn. CEP gives food service professionals more time to focus on preparing nutritious meals that their students will enjoy and gives students more time to eat those meals by cutting down on time spent in the lunch line. More importantly, by offering all students a nutritious breakfast and lunch at no cost, CEP helps ensure more students come to class well-nourished and ready to learn.
Demopolis City Schools offers healthy meals every school day, so please encourage students to participate.
Happening today! Our community goes above and beyond to support our students! Thank you!

Demopolis City Schools has some changes on the horizon. Tonight, at a special called board meeting, DCS board members approved a contract with Dr. Bobby Hathcock to serve as Interim Superintendent. Dr. Hathcock spoke, thanking the board for this opportunity. He assured those in attendance that his door is open, that he will put his heart into this role, and that he is excited to begin. The board also approved contracts for Brandi Smith to serve as the Westside Elementary School Principal, Elizabeth Fleming as U.S. Jones Elementary School Principal, and Allene Jones as Demopolis Middle School Principal, effective August 1, 2024. With these changes, we are confident that the faculty and staff in this system are committed to our students and making this the best year yet.
A complete version of this meeting's minutes will be posted on the District website as soon as they are available.
DCS would like our community to be involved in the process of the revision of the Code of Conduct for the 2024-25 school year.

Thanks to Mrs. Helms' Alabama Power Foundation Grant the 5th grade classroom garden is starting to come together.
A few weeks ago we posted pictures from the Liberty Learning kickoff pep rally. Since then, our fifth graders have been learning about citizenship and how to become a super citizen themselves! Today, along with 2nd grade ,each class honored a community member that they believe is a super citizen! They chose to honor Katie Windham, Jay Reynolds, Melanie McCrory, Officer Dailey, Nurse Freeman, Mrs. Edwards, and Mrs. Fleming. Thank you for all you do for our school and community! Thank you to the sponsors who made this program happen!
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! For our final day, we would like to highlight some super important faculty and staff members who support students AND teachers!
Happy Teacher Appreciation week! Today, the spotlight is on our "Special classes" teachers. These teachers service every student on campus!
