BCS: Fall Break to remain intact; missed days will not be made up

The school system has made the decision to keep its original Fall Break, October 14-18, intact. The days missed due to Hurricane Helene will not be made up; instead, the district will adjust instruction to meet student needs.

After thoughtful consideration, care and concern for our community’s well-being, Bulloch County Schools has decided to keep its scheduled fall break intact for October 14-18. In addition, the six and one-half days that were missed during the storm will not be made up.

"We understand how important it is to rest and regroup, and we believe this break will be vital to our ongoing recovery," said Charles Wilson, superintendent of schools. "We want to reassure you that our priority remains your children’s education."

Rather than rushing or cramming missed content, the school district will adjust instruction thoughtfully to meet students where they are and help them progress in a positive, supportive way.

Moving forward, it will be more important than ever to be intentional about school attendance. The school district asks families to help ensure consistent attendance which will play a key role in their child’s success.

"Together, we will continue to recover with care and focus on what truly matters—the well-being and growth of our children," Wilson added.
