CCS TO OPERATE ON NORMAL SCHEDULE WITH COLD WEATHER SAFETY MEASURES - TUESDAY, JAN. 21, 2025 | The National Weather Service has issued an Extreme Cold Warning for North Georgia over the next several days. While closely monitoring the weather, CCS will operate on a normal schedule Tuesday, January 21, 2025. Our top priority is the safety and well-being of our students at bus stops and staff assisting with morning drop-off. Additional precautions will be taken to ensure buses are warm and ready to welcome students.
School buses will take additional time at each stop to allow students to remain in their homes or vehicles as long as possible. All students should be ready at their door or in a vehicle at the normal pickup time when the bus arrives. Please note that buses may run slightly behind schedule due to these precautions to keep students warm and safe. We encourage children to dress warmly as they travel to school.
Schools will be warm and ready to welcome students and staff. Indoor recess activities will take place, and flexibility will be provided with arrival times to ensure safe and warm arrivals. We will continue to monitor the weather closely. If any changes become necessary, updates will be shared via Remind, our website (www.calhounschools.org), and social media channels.
Stay safe and stay warm, Jackets!
