Charlton County Schools will be open for students on Thursday August 8th.
Buses will not be able to travel down the following roads:
Old Moniac Road
Heather Road in Winokur
Emmaus Cutoff
This will affect less than 10 students. If your child lives on one of these roads, no bus will come to get them on Thursday, and their absence will be excused.
Additional updates regarding when buses will pick up on these roads will be provided on Thursday.
Based on the condition of many of our dirt roads, especially in the south end of the county, and with guidance provided by the Charlton County Road Department and Emergency Management Agency, school will be cancelled for students on Wednesday, August 7th.
Although there is no school for students, Wednesday August 7 will be a regular work day for teachers and staff.
We will provide updates on when school will open for students on Wednesday after road conditions are assessed.
Based on the latest briefing provided by the National Weather Service for our area regarding Tropical Storm Debby, Charlton County Schools will be closed Monday, August 5th and Tuesday, August 6th for all students and staff. The potential for tropical storm force winds as early as Monday morning and through Tuesday morning, as well as the potential for major flooding the next two days has led to this decision, as student safety is our top priority. We plan to have our first day of school for students on Wednesday, August 7th. If any further changes or cancellations are needed, we will provide updates via text messaging, our website, and Facebook.
Join us for Open House on Thursday, August 1, 2024 from 6-8pm.
Early release day today, May 24th at 1:00 p.m.
Tomorrow is our last day of school. Yearbooks were given out today. Anyone who did not receive their yearbook today can pick it up tomorrow. The dodgeball tournament is tomorrow- bring money for concessions.
