Please help us welcome Mr.Snipes to the Bearcat Family! Originally from Colquitt, Georgia, and now living in Bainbridge, Mr.Snipes enjoys hunting, fishing, and spending time outdoors. He appreciates the welcoming and supportive environment at Decatur County and how everyone has been willing to help. A fun fact about Mr.Snipes is that he worked in the HVAC industry before beginning his teaching career. We're excited to have him on our team and look forward to the experience and passion he'll bring to his classroom this year!

Density was more than just a formula in Ms. Rambo’s Physical Science class!

Students started by observing density columns and used their observations to discuss why some substances layered above or below others. From there, they completed a CER challenge, graphed their findings, and calculated the density of five different drinks.

Their investigation led to an important question: What caused the differences in mass?

Students used evidence from their data to connect mass, volume, and density and explain how the amount of matter in a given volume affects density.

Observe. Calculate. Graph. Explain. Repeat. That’s science in action!

📅 Time to plan, parents!

Make your student’s holidays count this school year by scheduling vacations and special activities during the designated breaks on the 2026–2027 school calendar.

Every school day matters. When students attend consistently, they stay connected, confident, and ready to learn. Plan ahead, protect instructional time, and help your child succeed!

💜 Attendance matters, every day!
