It’s Safety Day at the Doddridge County Early Learning Academy!!!🚨

If you see fire trucks, police cars or an ambulance outside of our building, don’t be alarmed, we are teaching our students here about emergency and bus safety.

We send a big THANK YOU to all our first responders and bus drivers for keeping our students safe everyday!!!

🐾 Creating Moments That Matter at DCELA! 💚💛

Another school spotlight we LOVE to see! Doddridge County Early Learning Academy is making attendance something the whole family can celebrate with its Perfect Attendance Week recognition!

DCELA celebrated both a student winner and a parent winner, recognizing that getting our youngest Bulldogs to school each day truly is a team effort. 💚 From students showing up ready to learn to families making sure they’re there, every day matters.

And we have to say… 👀🍫 we spy the makings of some s’mores in that prize! What a sweet way to celebrate an accomplishment that helps build strong habits, friendships, and brighter futures.

Shoutout to DCELA for finding another fun and meaningful way to encourage our Bulldogs in the Building and create Moments That Matter! 🐾

🎶 Moments That Matter at DCMS! 💚💛

A big shoutout to Doddridge County Middle School for creating a special opportunity to bring students and families together during 6th Grade Band Immersion Night!

Every student had a parent or family member by their side as they shared what they’ve been learning—and even became the teachers for the evening, showing their families how to play their instruments. 🎺🥁🎶

These are the experiences that make school more than a classroom. Families engaged, students proud to share their talents, and memories made together—that’s a Moment That Matters. 🐾

Thank you to our DCMS Music Department and all the families who showed up to support our young musicians!

🐾 Shoutout to Doddridge County Elementary School for Creating Moments That Matter! 💚💛

We love seeing the creative ways our schools turn everyday opportunities into Moments That Matter, and DCES is doing just that with Buster the Attendance Bulldog! 🐶

Each week, Buster travels to the classroom with the best attendance, giving students a fun reason to celebrate showing up, learning, and making every school day count.

This week, Buster landed in Mrs. Lowther’s 3rd grade classroom, where students achieved PERFECT attendance! 🎉👏

A big shoutout to DCES for making attendance something to celebrate and to Mrs. Lowther’s students for showing us what it means to be Bulldogs in the Building!

Because some of the best moments at school are the ones you just have to be here for. 🐾

Today, we celebrate the dedicated custodians and maintenance staff who work behind the scenes every day to keep DC Schools clean, safe, welcoming, and running smoothly. 💚💛

From early mornings and late evenings to the unexpected repairs, spills, setups, and everything in between—you are always there, taking care of our schools and the people inside them.

Your work may happen behind the scenes, but the difference you make is seen and felt every single day. Thank you for your hard work, your pride in our schools, and the countless ways you help create an environment where our students and staff can thrive.

🐾 Happy Custodian & Maintenance Appreciation Day! We appreciate all that you do to make the moments that matter possible.

💚💛Family Focus Fridays 💚💛

🐾🍂 Welcome to October as we continue our Family Focus Friday Series! 🍁🎃

As we welcome October, it’s a good time to pause and reflect on the moments that shape our relationships with the children in our lives.

Whether we are parents, educators, or caregivers, the little moments of connection can leave a lasting impression. Sometimes, it’s the very first moment that opens the door to something much more meaningful. 🌻💫

See below for this month’s reflection from BCBA Ben Thomas on making every moment matter and the power of building positive relationships. 💛🤝✨
