DCPS
Daviess County Public Schools are hosting back-to-school events as we look forward to welcoming students back to school in August. These events provide important information for our families to ensure a smooth beginning to the school year, including bus schedules, classroom visits, fee payments and information about after-school programs.
This list may not be complete; additional events may be scheduled at a later date. Parents should call the school their child will attend to confirm information about these events. Phone numbers are listed below.
In addition to these back-to-school events, DCPS is offering online registration for the first time this year. Parents and guardians who need assistance with that process may attend any of numerous “Open Lab” events at each school or at additional locations listed below.
