📅 Time to plan, parents!
Make your student’s holidays count this school year by scheduling vacations and special activities during the designated breaks on the 2026–2027 school calendar.
Every school day matters. When students attend consistently, they stay connected, confident, and ready to learn. Plan ahead, protect instructional time, and help your child succeed!
💜 Attendance matters, every day!

Welcome to Second Grade! 💕📚✏️
We are looking forward to getting to know each of our students and helping them have a successful and exciting year. Our goal is to create a classroom where every child feels loved, valued, supported, and encouraged to do their very best.
Pre-K Orientation
🚗 CAR PICK-UP REMINDER 🚗
Dear Parents & Guardians,
For the safety and security of all of our students, anyone picking up a student through the car pick-up line MUST have an official car tag displaying the student’s name.
🏷️ No car tag? No problem!
If you do not have your student’s car tag, please come to the front office for assistance. Students will not be released through the car line without the proper car tag.
We know this may take a little extra time, but keeping our students safe is always our #1 priority! 💛
Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and for helping us keep dismissal safe and smooth for everyone! 🐾
Tomorrow is Bearcat Pride Wednesday – let’s paint the town Purple & Gold! ✨
📸 We want to see YOU! Post your Purple & Gold tomorrow, tag us, and let’s fill our feeds with Bearcat Pride!
Let’s show everyone what it means to be a Bearcat.
GO CATS! 🐾💜💛

Prioritizing safety the Bearcat Way, OPENGATE Security Systems provides an added layer of protection at every Decatur County Schools campus.
Decatur County Schools remains committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment on every campus for our students, faculty, and staff. As part of this ongoing commitment, OPENGATE Security Systems are in use across all Decatur County Schools campuses, including primary and elementary schools, as a proactive measure to help keep our schools weapon free.
The OPENGATE Security System is an advanced, walk-through weapons detection system designed to enhance school safety while maintaining a smooth flow of student entry. Unlike traditional metal detectors, OPENGATE uses advanced sensors to detect weapons and prohibited items without requiring students to stop, empty their pockets, or remove backpacks. This allows for efficient and non-intrusive screening, making it ideal for high-traffic areas such as school entrances.
OPENGATE provides an added layer of protection for students and staff. The system is portable, quick to set up, and built to detect a wide range of threats while minimizing false alarms. With its modern design and cutting-edge technology, OPENGATE supports the district’s commitment to creating safe, secure, and nurturing learning environments across all grade levels.
We encourage families to continue emphasizing the importance of school safety and working together to help keep the Bearcat Family safe on every campus, every day.
