(UPDATED 10/1/24)
Dear Students, Staff, Families, and Community Members:
As you all know, the devastation to our community is widespread and despite the efforts of so many, it is taking longer to resume a sense of normalcy than we had hoped. As we continue to monitor the restoration of services and navigate the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, we believe that it is best to keep school closed at least through Friday, Oct 4 for students and staff.
Our efforts need to continue focusing on the healing of our community and working with all of our emergency management agencies. We are currently using Toombs County Middle School as a 250-cot staging area for Georgia Power and assisting GEMA with the distribution of supplies in the southern part of the county.
We are especially grateful for Altamaha EMC and the efforts of other power companies to restore power to our schools, and we currently have power to all schools except TCHS. We are working diligently to make any possible repairs and to get all buildings back to working order. Just like our families, our school system is also facing the challenge of obtaining food needed to begin feeding our students again.
We will continue to update you as we know more. We are currently looking at plans for school reentry, and our goal is to update you by Friday afternoon regarding the plan for moving forward. Please help us by sharing this updated information, and stay tuned for updates via our various communication platforms: Facebook, Email, Toombs App, School Websites, Instagram, etc.
