The Dooly County School System extends our heartfelt condolences to the Barrow County School System community during this unimaginably difficult time. We stand with you in grief and solidarity. While words cannot adequately express the depth of this tragedy or ease its pain, please know that our thoughts are with all those affected. We offer our full support to the students, families, educators, and staff of Barrow County as you navigate the days ahead.
Excitement was in the air at Dooly County School System's Professional Learning Day! We kicked off the day with Code of Ethics training led by PAGE attorney Alfreda Sheppard. Our 6th-8th grade math teachers engaged with Carnegie Learning consultant Crystal Clayton, while K-3 ELA teachers explored the science of reading with Rebecca Loera with the Rollins Center, and high school educators collaborated with Dr. Dickey from Educational Epiphany to design impactful lessons. It was a day full of learning, growth, and inspiration for our incredible educators!
HAPPY LABOR DAY

Ms. Sharron Marcus, former Dooly County School System Leader and retired educator was welcomed by a standing ovation from the DCSS. She encouraged faculty and staff to look in the mirror, remember that they are all a part of the Dooly TEAM, to not fall into the blame game. She reminded the educational leaders that they have power, strength and purpose. Ms. Marcus, now an author, inspired faculty and staff to never lose the joy of educating the future and shared much wisdom from her own experiences and writings.
