Bryan County Schools

Bryan County Schools recently participated in a tabletop exercise led by Agent Kate Hargrove, Homeland Security Coordinator at the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency. This exercise was conducted in collaboration with the Bryan County Emergency Management Agency, Bryan County Fire & Rescue, Bryan County Sheriff's Office, Pembroke Police Department, Richmond Hill Police Department, Richmond Hill Fire Department, and the Bryan County 911 Office. This joint effort allowed our teams to navigate a real-world scenario, ensuring that proper protocols are in place and that we are fully prepared in the event of an emergency. We are grateful for the strong partnerships that enable us to prioritize the safety of our students, staff, and community.

Bryan County Schools hosted a Teacher Recruitment Expo to invite educators to explore career opportunities and connect with school and district leaders. This event showcased "The Bryan Way," highlighting the district's commitment to excellence in education and recruiting top talent for the next generation of students.

Happy Presidents' Day!

Have a safe and enjoyable winter break!

We hope this message finds you safe and warm during this time of inclement weather. After careful consideration, Bryan County Schools will remain closed on Friday, January 24, 2025. The safety of our students, staff, and families remains our top priority, and several factors have contributed to this decision: 1. Road Safety: Many of our bus routes, as well as roads traveled by student drivers, continue to be impacted by icy conditions. Some neighborhoods that remain shaded throughout the day have experienced minimal melting, and the potential for refreezing overnight remains a significant concern. 2. Staff Travel: Ensuring our staff can safely commute to and from school is essential. Current road conditions pose risks for travel, and we want to avoid unnecessary hazards for our employees. 3. Building Inspections: Keeping schools closed on Friday will provide our staff the time needed to thoroughly check all facilities and ensure they are safe and fully operational for the return of students and staff. We understand the inconvenience that school closures may cause, and we greatly appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we prioritize everyone’s safety. We are looking forward to welcoming our students and staff back to school on Monday, January 27, 2025. Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
