BCSS Family,

This last week has been an incredibly difficult time for all of us. We are still grieving but at the same time we must try our best to navigate this uncharted journey ahead together. 

Please know your trust and your children's safety remain at the heart of everything we do.

School will resume for all students, except for those at Apalachee High School, on Tuesday, Sep. 10. We believe we need to be together as soon as possible to move forward and to provide some sense of familiarity for our students.

For our Apalachee families, we will send a message to you separately with information about returning.

We know these are challenging times, and we are here for you. We will have extra support and security, including more law enforcement, at each of our schools. 

Georgia Emergency Management is also setting up a Community Recovery Center at the Barrow Leisure Services Center (175 2nd St.) to offer you free resources and mental health services.

• Monday, Sept. 9: Noon-5pm.
• Tuesday, Sept. 10 through Friday, Sept. 13: 9am-5pm.

We are in this together, and as a community, we will continue to care for one another.

Dr. Dallas LeDuff
Superintendent, Barrow County School System
