Good Afternoon Parents,
Football practice is canceled. Normal practice will resume tomorrow.

The Cognia Parent Survey is designed to collect data on student academic learning and wellness during the current school year. Participation in each survey is anonymous and voluntary, and participation is highly encouraged. The survey results will provide the Cognia Accrediting Agency, the Dougherty County School System, and local schools with data regarding parent feedback to support continuous learning.
Please be assured that your responses are anonymous. The survey will remain open through September 20, 2024.
Thank you for completing the Cognia Survey and providing us with valuable feedback!

The district is aware of a threat circulating around the state on social media. It appears that the schools mentioned were extracted from a list of Title 1 schools listed on the GaDOE website.
Although we believe this to be a hoax, out of an abundance of caution, we are placing all schools on a soft lockdown posture until the posts are investigated thoroughly.
The safety and security of our students, employees and guests is our number one priority.
