Schley County Schools

Dear Parents, Thank you for your support and patience throughout this period of uncertainty. We are continuing to work toward a successful 2020-2021 school year. Planning has been especially difficult and prone to changes as new developments present themselves. Your survey results and candid comments were very much appreciated. Decisions and choices will continue to evolve over the next couple of weeks. We do not have all the answers, but parents will be involved in the choices for their child’s instructional plans. We will begin releasing key elements of our back-to-school plans next week. Please continue to keep our community and our young ones in your thoughts and prayers as we put together the procedures to begin this school year. Sincerely, Brian Hall Superintendent

We need better, faster Internet for the education of our children in rural Georgia!

We will be discontinuing our Tuesday and Thursday meal pick ups this week. Participation has dropped considerably since the first weeks we began serving. We do thank our lunchroom staff as well as the faculty and bus driver volunteers that helped serve.

Meals program for this week: Our lunch program will be serving meals and snacks on Tuesday and Thursday (May 5th and 7th). Food will be ready for pick up at the bus loading zone near the high school lunchroom and is available for children ages 2 – 18. Meals are provided to those present at pick up. We would ask that anyone picking up food to remain in their vehicle at all times. Our staff will bring the items to you as you pull through. We would recommend those picking up to have some type of face covering in order to take as many precautions as possible. Serving time will be 11:00-12:30.
