9/26/2024: As a reminder, schools and District offices will be open on Friday, September 27. Extracurricular activities, after-school programs, sports, school meetings, and other on-campus events also resume normal operations. School District employees are expected to report to work tomorrow as scheduled.


9/25/2024, 4:12 PM: Due to the forecasted severe weather conditions associated with Hurricane Helene, all District-operated schools and offices will be closed Thursday, September 26. All extracurricular activities, after-school programs, sports, school meetings, and other on-campus events are also canceled. The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. According to the National Hurricane Center and local emergency management officials, anticipated sustained winds exceed limits for safe school bus operation.  

All School District employees should not report to work tomorrow unless otherwise directed by their supervisor.

Normal school and District operations will resume on Friday, September 27. No make-up day will be added to the school calendar for this closure.
