Good afternoon! Please be sure to check your child's Monday folder for the Student Bus Drop-off Waiver.

We hope this message finds you safe. Portions of our county continue to be impacted by flooding due to Tropical Storm Debby. We understand that some families continue to experience significant challenges associated with this flooding. Please know that our schools will remain open for families whose children can safely attend. We recognize the importance of maintaining a routine and providing a safe place for students, especially as many parents need to continue working. Due to standing water, there will be NO TRANSPORTATION provided to certain areas of the county. We hope to notify those impacted families by the end of the day. We want to assure you that any and all absences related to flooding will be excused. Your family's safety is our top priority, and we understand that attending school may not be possible for some students at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by the flooding. If your family is facing difficulties, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to support you in any way we can.

Tomorrow is Friday and that means ICE CREAM! You can send in a dollar with your child on Fridays at FME for the purchase of an ice cream ticket. Want to pay for the entire year? You can pay $40 on MyPaymentsPlus and your child will have an ice cream ticket for every time ice cream is sold. Use the link here to log into MyPaymentsPlus. https://www.mypaymentsplus.com/welcome

We are excited to welcome our students back to school on Thursday, August 8, 2024. We understand that the recent storm has impacted our community in various ways, and we want to assure you that the safety and well-being of our students are our top priorities. If your child is unable to attend school due to weather-related issues, such as high water or road closures, all student absences will be excused for Thursday and Friday. Each school will work with impacted families in an effort to support their individual needs during this time of recovery. Please be aware that there are still areas with high water and some road closures. As a result, some of our bus routes may need to be modified. We anticipate delays and kindly ask for your patience and understanding as we work to transport our students safely. Thank you for your cooperation and support.

Although Tropical Storm Debby did not hit as hard as initially forecasted, many areas are still experiencing significant water accumulation. Several roads are impassable, and there is a large amount of water on several school campuses. Additionally, the storm's outer bands are expected to bring more rain this afternoon and evening. Due to these ongoing conditions and the forecasted additional rain, Bryan County Schools will remain closed tomorrow, Wednesday, August 7, 2024. Thank you for your understanding and stay safe.
