📢 School Closure Update 📢
Due to freezing temperatures again overnight affecting the melting snow and ice, making travel unsafe for our buses, students, and staff, Brooks County Schools will remain closed on Friday, January 24th.
Our team will be out over the weekend checking the structural integrity of our awnings, sidewalks and walkways to ensure our campuses are safe for students and staff. The ice that is melting will continue to gather on our sidewalks and parking lot and will refreeze again tonight. Many of the roads in our county are still questionable as to whether they are passable for buses.
❄️ We appreciate your patience and understanding as safety remains our top priority. Normal schedules will resume on Monday, January 27th. Stay warm, stay safe, and enjoy your extended snow break! ⛄️✨

Dear Trojan Family, As we recover from this unprecedented event, know our hearts are with you and your families. At last report, there was no accurate estimation for restoration of power in the near future. Many of our roads continue to remain unsafe and impassable, especially for school buses. Our Emergency Management Team remains in constant contact with Brooks County EMA and other public safety entities. Resources are spread thin not only in Brooks County, but the entire region. With that, we have made the decision that we will not be returning to school for the week of September 30 through October 4. Now is the time for recovery and healing. Brooks County Schools remains committed to the safety of our staff, students, and community. We will keep you posted on any new developments. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. We will keep you updated as we have additional information. Thank you!

QES Parents and Families, please join us for our annual Title I Parent Information Night today! We can't wait to see you and share important information about the school year and how you can support our work!
Our area continues to receive high volumes of rainfall, which is predicted to last through the evening into the early morning hours. Large portions of Brooks County are without power. There are multiple reports of localized flooding and impassable roads. Based on the current conditions, and the projected longevity of this event, Brooks County Schools will postpone the first day of school until Wednesday, August 7, 2024.
The Georgia Milestones Assessment System is about to start at QES. Please read the parent letter for information and tips for each day of testing.
Brooks County Schools will remain closed tomorrow - Friday - April 12, 2024.
Due to the volume of rain our area has received, there are numerous road closures throughout the county that include major routes as well as dirt roads and city surface roads. In conversations with local EMA and the county road department, they are still discovering roads that are impassible with some being completely washed out.
We will continue to receive flood waters from northern regions via multiple tributaries.
These factors not only create a serious potential hazard for our buses and the students that ride them, but for our staff attempting to safely navigate these roads in order to get to work.
Due to the conditions of the roads, Brooks County Schools will be closed today.
