September 19 has been declared West Virginia School Service Personnel Day by Governor Justice.
I also wish to express my gratitude for all the hard work and dedication our service personnel bring to Doddridge County Schools. Their efforts make a world of difference in creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for students and staff alike.
Their commitment to their work and compassion for our students, whether in the cafeteria, maintaining our facilities, providing support in the classroom, making sure our buses are safe, transporting our students or managing administrative tasks, does not go unnoticed. They play a vital role in shaping the educational experience and ensuring that everything runs smoothly.
So thank you to our School Service Personnel!
Superintendent Scott Cochran.

Opps. We made a mistake, and that's okay! We forgot that picture day was on the Wednesday of Spirit Week and Wacky Wednesday might not have been the best idea.
We will now be having "Dress Your Best" day instead!! Please note this change. If your student brought home a small flyer yesterday, just disregard it.

Good Evening,
The Doddridge County Board of Education is committed to the safety of all students and staff members. As many are aware, there has been a statewide and nationwide circulation of school threats via various forms of social media. At this point, Doddridge County has no credible evidence as it relates to these threats associated with our schools, we will continue to monitor the situation in collaboration with the Doddridge County Sheriff's Office, WV State Police, Homeland Security and the Fusion Center. We would like to thank our local law enforcement agencies for keeping our schools safe and secure.
Scott Cochran
Superintendent
Doddridge County Schools
Governor Jim Justice released the following:

It's gameday in Doddridge County and DCES students came ready to cheer on the Bulldogs!! DCES students held their PBIS Kickoff in exciting fashion today! Students worked in groups this week to create a class banner to display at the days festivities. Students then welcomed members from the high school football team, cheerleading squad, and the band. Some DCES staff then participated in a masked singer competition.
To cap off the celebration, students were treated to snow cones, cotton candy, popcorn, bulldog tattoos, and time to play on the playground with friends.
DCES would like to give a huge shoutout to the many community and parent volunteers who graciously donated their time and resources to ensure students had fun. We appreciate the support of our local 7/11 who donated ice for the snow cones. Additionally, we would like to thank the high school and their students for coming to meet our students. Lastly, we would like to give a shoutout to Doddridge County Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Scott Cochran, who performed 'Country Roads' beautifully as a unicorn in the masked singer performance.
Good Luck, Bulldogs!
