Aftermath Continues to Close Schools for September 13th

Due to wide-spread power outages and downed trees, the following North Georgia School Systems have stated they will be CLOSED on Wednesday, September 13, 2017.

Please share this information as many residents are still without power and phone service.

Dawson County Schools – CLOSED

Gilmer County Schools – CLOSED

White County Schools – CLOSED

Pickens County Schools – CLOSED

Lumpkin County Schools – CLOSED

Towns County Schools – The plan currently is to have a normal school day Wednesday. In the unlikely event that phone service is not restored to the schools by tomorrow morning, we may have to cancel school due to the liabilities of an emergency happening with no way to contact parents or have parents contact the school. We understand that many households are still without power and phone service.  If a student can’t make it to school for storm related reasons, the absence will not be held against them. 

At this time these schools will operate on a normal schedule on Wednesday, September 13, 2017:

Fannin County Schools

Union County Schools 

Murray County Schools 

Cherokee County Schools
