After careful consideration and conversations with our local EMA and other officials, the Toombs County School System will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, August 30, 2023, for staff and students. This includes all afterschool activities and events on August 30th. The latest track of Hurricane Idalia is projecting wind gusts above 40 mph for our area along with several inches of rain. Please note, this is never an easy decision to cancel school because of the many dynamics in play for our community and its people. Essentially, however, it boils down to the safety of all of our stakeholders, and we will err on the side of caution. Please stay tuned to our school communication platforms for the latest updates via School System App Notifications, Social Media Outlets, District Website, Email, and Local Radio Stations. As of now, we plan to resume normal school operations on Thursday, August 31, 2023.
Toombs County Schools is closely monitoring Hurricane Idalia in collaboration with local emergency management officials. The latest forecast track and information from the National Weather Service indicate the impacts to our area are to begin Wednesday morning. We advise everyone to continue to monitor the forecast track and we will update you this afternoon if inclement weather is expected to affect normal school operations. In case of severe weather, Toombs County Schools parents, guardians, staff, and students can expect to hear from us through the following channels: School System App Notifications, Social Media Outlets, District Website, Email, and Local Radio Stations.
