Please be advised that based on our current COVID data, the following guidelines are in place. We will continue to assess our COVID data and adjust guidelines as necessary. Facilities will be cleaned to minimize germs. Masks are not required. Masks are encouraged for all students and staff. COVID-19 vaccinations are not required for employees or students. Please contact the Banks County Health Department for more information concerning vaccination. Those who become sick and have a fever of 100.4 or higher at school or work will be sent home. If symptoms improve, the student may return when he/she is fever free for 24 hours. Students or staff who test positive for COVID-19 will continue to follow Department of Public Health guidelines, which require those who are positive to stay home for 10 days since symptoms first appeared and be fever-free, without use of fever-reducing medications, for 24 hours before returning to school. If the school is notified of a positive case, a notice will be sent to the parents of those who were possibly exposed.

TeleHealth
We are excited to offer telehealth and teletherapy at each of our schools this year. Telehealth can reduce time away from work and school for parents, students and staff by providing virtual visits with medical professionals in real-time, without leaving school. |
Hot Spots
Below is the current list of hotspot locations where students are able to connect to the internet for brief periods to access or upload assignments. We have been able to secure a few hotspots throughout the county if your student is in need to connect for a short period to access Google Classroom or upload assignments. We realize the obstacle many of our families face with the lack of reliable internet accessibility. We are extremely appreciative of the willingness of these entities to support our students and community during this time. Please be respectful of these locations when utilizing the hotspot service. Below is a list of current locations. Baldwin Baptist Church Beaverdam Baptist Church Charity Baptist Church Gillsville Baptist Church Grove Level Harmony Baptist Church Maysville Baptist Church (Homer St. location) Nails Creek Baptist Church New Grace Rock Springs Baptist Church Silver Shoals Baptist Church Union Hill Baptist Church |
