Again, thank you all for your patience during these uncertain times.
Schley County Schools will stay closed for the remainder of this school year per the Governor's executive order. Distance learning plans will continue starting Monday. We will notify you as more information comes available.
We are not only proud of our SCE students and their families, we are super proud of our teachers and how they always rise to the occasion! We have some of the best! Mrs Howell, an SCE 3rd grade teacher, did “drive by” visits with her students today! She held a sign out of her window saying, “We miss you!” ❤️ Thank you for going the extra mile, Mrs. Howell!
Per executive order, all Georgia schools will be closed for in person instruction through April 24th. Any further determinations for the remainder of the school year will be made before April 24th. The governor will give a state address at 8:00 tonight.

SCE students are continuing their learning at home, and teachers are staying connected to them in various ways! These students were showing their teacher 3 ways to make the number “417” in honor of St. Patrick’s Day! Others read St. Patrick’s Day books, followed leprechaun directed drawings, and went on scavenger hunts and charted their findings! We ❤️ our students and families!
Schley County School System:
Beginning Wednesday, March 18, 2020, meals will be prepared for children between the ages of 2 and 18. A lunch and snack will be distributed in a “drive-through format” at the bus unloading awning of the high school. We ask that everyone enter the main drive and continue straight past the elementary school gym entrance and continue around to the left (circling the open teachers’ parking lot). Per USDA, the child must be present in the car to receive a meal. Any child between the age of 2 and 18 may receive a meal.

SCE students are extending their learning at home this week with enrichment resources from their teachers.

Please check your teacher’s Web page by clicking on Menu>Teacher Pages to see what fun learning activities they’ve posted!
We miss our students and hope they’re staying safe and well!

Dear Parents and Community Members,
Schley County Schools have been in close contact with our local health department and our local emergency response team members. In addition to CDC guidance, we will continue to take the necessary steps to disinfect our school and transportation areas.
Yesterday, Governor Kemp asked schools to consider closing for 14 calendar days to limit the spread of Covid-19. While there are no confirmed cases in Schley County at this time, there are cases in nearby counties. Out of concern for our students’ well-being and to limit exposure, all schools will be closed from March 16 through March 27.
All buildings and buses will be disinfected using our Ecovasive system. We would ask that all jackets, backpacks, and school items that travel from home to school be cleaned as well. All 1:1 devices were sent home with chargers to facilitate any at-home learning opportunities. All teacher pages will have relevant guidance, as well as a posting from your child’s teacher for accessible hours each day.
This type of event is unchartered territory for our country and our community. I greatly appreciate the support we receive at all times, but I truly am thankful for the resources we have here. Please take the necessary precautions for your children, yourselves, and your community. Avoid large group gatherings at all costs so that this loss of instruction time will not be in vain. I pray for everyone’s health and safety during this uncertain time. Sincerely, Brian Hall Superintendent
Picture day is Wednesday!
Baseball t-shirt order forms are due Friday, 3/6!
We participated in an informational meeting this morning concerning the Covid-19 virus as well as other common illnesses. Be assured that SCE, SCMHS, & the Schley County School System is taking precautions in order to help prevent the spread of illness. Some of these precautions include the following: Hand sanitizer dispensers on buses, disinfecting of buses, repeated disinfecting of common surfaces in the classrooms/building, and we are monitoring daily absence trends.
SCE could use your help! If your child has a temp of 100 or more, please keep them home. They must be fever free for 24 hours before they can come to school. Don't forget to provide a doctor's note for the excuse. If your child runs a fever at school, they will be sent home so that they can get the medical treatment needed for a smooth recovery and return to school.
Thank you for your support as we strive to keep our students well while they are at school.
Our cookie dough fundraiser begins today and will end March 13th! See your favorite Elementary School Wildcat for ordering details!
