As we prepare to close out another successful school year, we recognize that summer break can sometimes create additional challenges for families, especially when it comes to accessing food resources. The Family Resource and Support Center (FRSC) is available to assist families who may need support during the summer.

Families may contact the FRSC at 229-438-3518 for assistance, information regarding community food programs, and guidance on available local resources. Our goal is to ensure that no family feels alone in navigating these needs during the summer break.
Thank you for your continued partnership, dedication, and support of DCSS students and families throughout the school year. Have an exciting and safe summer break.
Sincerely,
