Opinion Writing Meets Technology!
Mrs. Holley’s second grade students are putting their thinking caps on with a little help from Magic School! Using this powerful tool, they explored strong reasons for and against students having cell phones as part of their Unit 5 opinion writing.
Magic School also helped them organize their ideas and structure their opinion essays—setting them up for clear, confident writing. We love seeing technology used to support critical thinking and strong student voices.

Decatur County Schools is committed to maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for all students and families. To support this effort, OPENGATE Security Systems are now in use at the primary and elementary levels.
At Jones Wheat Primary (JWP) and West Bainbridge Primary (WBP), OPENGATE is located in the front office safety vestibules for parent and visitor entry. At Hutto Elementary, OPENGATE systems are placed at areas of entry used by both students and adults, including the lobby, gym, and cafeteria.
OPENGATE allows individuals to walk through without stopping or removing belongings, helping maintain efficient entry while enhancing school safety.
Thank you for partnering with us to keep the Bearcat Family safe every day.
