The establishment of a school governance council is intended to help local boards of education by bringing parents and the community together with teachers and school administrators to create a better understanding of and mutual respect for each other's concerns and share ideas for school improvement. School governance councils shall represent the community of parents and businesses.

The members of the school governance council are accountable to the constituents they serve and shall:

1. Maintain a school-wide perspective on issues;

2. Regularly participate in school council meetings;

3. Participate in information and training programs;

4. Act as a link between the school council and the community;

5. Encourage the participation of parents and others within the school community; and

6. Work to improve student achievement and performance.

Please use the button below to vote between the three qualified applicants. Once a representative has been named, all parties will be notified and a meeting schedule will be released. Meetings for each meeting will be posted on the school website.

DCMS will host a Tiger Parent Night Thursday, September 22nd for all parents/guardians. Gifted and ESOL will begin promptly at 5:30 where parents/guardians will gain insight into these two programs. Beginning at 6pm, parents will follow their child’s schedule and receive a brief overview of the curriculum and plan for class from each teacher. During this time, students who attended Dawson County Schools last year will also receive a printed copy of your child’s Georgia Milestone scores.

School breakfast and lunch prices for the 2022-2023 school year are:
