There were several highlights from tonight’s Board of Education meeting. First, Demopolis City Schools was named a National Beta District of Distinction because of our commitment to academic excellence, leadership development and service involvement. National Beta has over 500,000 active members and 9,000 clubs both nationally and internationally. This is a prestigious honor. Districts who receive this award induct qualifying students in all eligible grades, 4th-12th. US Jones, Demopolis Middle, and Demopolis High were presented with plaques tonight honoring their chapters. US Jones sponsors are Jennifer Helms, Emily Windham, and Jennifer Bedsole. Demopolis Middle School sponsors are AJ Etheridge and Amanda Smith. DHS sponsor is Rachel White. Thank you for your commitment to Beta and DCS students.
Next, our upward trend in student achievement continues as ACAP scores for ELA and for Math both increased for this year over last year. College and Career Ready is at an all time high of 95% and ACT average scores are up over a half a point.
Connie Davis, DCS CTE Director, was selected to serve as the Director of the Association of Career Tech Administrators for CLAS in 2023-24.
Finally, DCS board members were recognized for achieving higher levels of training. Betsy Stephens achieved a Level 2 Certificate by the Alabama Association of School Boards. Harris Hurst received a Level 4 Certificate and Carolyn Moore received a Masters 5th year certificate.
We are thankful for their commitment to make our system the best it can be. Demopolis City Schools is achieving excellence each and every day.

Welcome Back! This year at DCS we would like to issue an attendance challenge to our students and parents. Seventy-five percent or more of our students have great attendance. Twenty-five percent have attendance issues. We need to challenge ourselves as a school district and as parents to improve our attendance records. Take care of your parental responsibilities by providing a written excuse any time your child is absent from school.
When your child is absent from school the procedures are as follows: You should receive an automated call indicating the absence. Send a written excuse from you or your student's doctor the day they return to school. You will have three days to submit the excuse or it will be unexcused. Unexcused absences will result in truancy and juvenile court. As a parent you should have access to the Parent Portal to view your student's grades and attendance at all times.
This year accept the challenge. Let's improve our attendance record by having no unexcused absences! Have a great day!
DCS had a great first day of school! We visited all four campuses to see how the students' day was going. To view first day pictures, check out each schools' social media!

On the first day of school, local churches came together to show their support and appreciation for DCS employees. They provided delicious meals to all four schools that not only filled stomachs but also warmed hearts. Your generosity reminds us of the strong sense of community that binds us together. Knowing that our neighbors stand with us has given us renewed energy for the school year ahead. Many thanks!
We are thrilled to welcome each and every one of you back to another exciting school year! Whether you're returning students or brand new faces at DCS, we are ready to embark on a journey of learning, growth, and discovery together. WELCOME BACK!
