AHS Family,
As we shared Friday, we will begin a phased reopening for Apalachee High School beginning on Tuesday, September 24, 2024.
From Sept. 24 – Oct. 4, students will attend school for half days to help them ease back into the routine at a comfortable pace. School will start at 8:15am with shortened periods until dismissal at 12:40pm. Transportation will be provided. We plan to return full-time after Fall Break on Oct. 14, 2024.
We understand that returning to campus might be overwhelming for some and we are here to support you.
- We will have an increase in law enforcement presence along with additional counselors, therapy dogs, and other resources.
- J Hall will be inaccessible and remain closed for the rest of the school year. We have temporarily arranged for all Social Studies classes to be held in a nearby Barrow County School System building on Star St. Buses will take students to and from those locations. This is temporary until new classroom pods arrive on campus, anticipated by January 2025.
- We are offering an Open House at both locations on Monday, Sept. 23 to welcome families back to AHS. We will share a detailed schedule tomorrow.
Please remember, our counselors are available to offer guidance, support, and resources tailored to help students navigate this transition.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and trust. We are all in this together, and we will continue to support one another.
Sincerely,
Jessica Rehberg & Dr. Dallas LeDuff
AHS Principal & BCSS Superintendent
