Hello, Bulldog Families💙🐾-SDHS Seahawks are in the playoffs!! The High School is happy to welcome our Middle Schoolers to their Football Games. However, they must be accompanied by a parent or guardian the ENTIRE time. Please see the attached graphic for more information.

🐾 Help us celebrate our most recent SDMS Top Dogs! 🐾

Each day, we recognize students who show us what it truly means to be Bulldog STRONG! That might look like showing up for a fellow classmate, being actively engaged in learning, taking responsibility for their actions, lending a helping hand, or simply making a positive difference in someone’s day.

We believe that being a Top Dog isn’t about being the best at everything; it’s about making choices that help you and those around you grow. We are proud of these Bulldogs for the big and little ways they make SDMS a better place each day!

Keep showing up, keep growing, and keep being Bulldog STRONG! 💙🤍🐾

Please note that not all of our Top Dogs can or want to be photographed. That choice is respected. So some weeks we may not have a full post.

Good Morning Bulldogs! Students will attend their 1st special B-Day today with the hour delay.

IMPORTANT: Worcester County Public Schools will be opening one-hour late today, Friday, October 30, 2026, due to foggy conditions. Buses will operate accordingly. All school programs will begin following the one-hour delay.

Please be advised that a K-9 safety scan was conducted at Stephen Decatur Middle School this
morning while students were in their HOLD status. This status has now been
lifted. This is a prescheduled scan conducted as part of our continued partnership
with the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office to keep our students and staff as safe
as possible. We appreciate your understanding.

At this time, Stephen Decatur Middle School is conducting a school safety drill. There is no emergency at this
time; however, access to our school may be limited until the drill is completed. We
appreciate your patience and understanding.
