Oglethorpe County Schools will be operating on a regular schedule tomorrow (Monday). All schools have power and water.
For those students who still do not have power, we can bus kids to the high school to get hot showers, if they want.
Please let us know if there is something that you need. We are here to help!
Oglethorpe County Schools will open the HS gym from 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm for those who need a hot shower, warm meal, and/or recharge your phone!
We will provide toiletries. If you are able to, please bring a towel. Feel free to spread the word!
To our community, if you are able to donate a towel or bottles of water, please drop it off outside the high school gym. We will have a box outside by noon.
Oglethorpe County Schools will be operating on a regular schedule tomorrow, but CLOSED ON FRIDAY!
All after-school activities including ASPIRE have been canceled for Thursday.

We are preparing our 2nd edition of the Oglethorpe County School System Year-in-Review! Once again, we are offering businesses the opportunity to become a Year-in-Review Partner. Our Year-in-Review report will be approximately a 20-page magazine style booklet - glossy and in full color. This will be distributed to our school community through email, posted to our web site, social media and delivered in hard copy to key community members, local businesses and real estate agents.
Please check out the flyer for the details and consider being a District Business Partner either as a Year-in-Review or a Media Partner.

New Morning Traffic Pattern for 2nd Graders:
Due to the large number of car riders at the Primary School, we are going to adjust our morning drop off area for 2nd grade students. The front of the school will remain the primary drop off location. However, if you have a 2nd grade student and they can exit the vehicle from the passenger side, the rear of the school entrance will be open from 7:20-7:50 for drop off as well as the current drop off location. This entrance is located around the back of the school near the cafeteria. There will be cones placed in the back of the school.
Please stay to the right of the cones before the drop off. On your way out, please yield to our school buses, as they will be using this back road as well. You will follow the road around the back of the school and join the other exiting car riders.
If you drop off after 7:50 am, there will be no change!
Thank you for your patience as we attempt to speed up this process.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Our Board of Education got to recognize all the hard work from our nutrition department to make it possible for all students to eat FREE this year!
Our buses are running about 30 minutes late. Traffic got backed up on Highway 22 due to the sheer volume of car riders! Thank you for your patience!
WELCOME BACK! Just a reminder today is the first day of school! Please be mindful of school zones and school buses loading and unloading! Watch out for our kids!
Please remember to be patient with the buses as this is their first day too! Always stop when the sign is out. And treat every bus as if your own child is on it.
Please be patient too as there will be more car riders these first few days!
We hope everyone has a great first day of school and a wonderful year!
