When you’re not having a good day, it might be easy to respond to people from a place of unhappiness. Sometimes on those days, if you can’t say anything kind in those moments, learn to remain silent. Kindness matters. #edchat

The week ahead may not be perfect, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be a great week! I hope you’ve had a restful weekend and are prepared for a productive and fun new week with your students! #edchat

As a teacher - I’m not preparing my students for a test. I’m looking for hard work and EFFORT... if I get that - I’m PROUD of them no matter what the test score says! Because that hard work down the road will translate into a good life! #NextLevelTeaching #DBCincBooks

Due to concerns surrounding COVID-19, the Dickson Co Schools Extended Childcare Program we will not be open during Spring Break, March 16-20. We apologize for any inconvenience & hope everyone understands this action.

We are pleased to report that the initial incident which impacted the Dickson Co Schools late Tuesday afternoon has been resolved. The testing has been completed, &reports are negative. We are still proceeding with a deep cleaning & sanitizing of facilities & buses.

At this time, in order to complete these tasks, we will maintain the same restrictions which we have placed. All campuses are closed (including daycares). Activities will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
