As we continue to monitor this tropical storm to ensure the safe operation of our school buses and all who will travel to and from our schools in the mornings and afternoons, the Wagener and Salley communities’ roads have been most heavily impacted by the extensive rainfall we’ve experienced. This morning’s two-hour delay was particularly helpful for drivers in that area who were able to identify and avoid roadways covered in water.
With additional heavy rain forecasted overnight and into tomorrow morning, the following schools in the Wagener and Salley areas of our county will operate on a two-hour delayed start tomorrow, Thursday, August 8: Busbee Elementary School, Corbett Middle School, and Wagener-Salley High School. Due to tomorrow’s delayed start at Busbee, Corbett and Wagener, only lunch will be served in their cafeterias.
All other schools and offices will operate on their regular schedules tomorrow, Thursday, August 8; regular breakfast and lunch service will be offered.
Afterschool activities will be cancelled again district-wide tomorrow, including practices, meetings, and aftercare through Quest Zone.
Only employees at schools in the Wagener and Salley areas of the county will report to work on a delayed schedule tomorrow morning. Employees who live in the Wagener or Salley area and work in another area of the county are encouraged to contact their supervisor for any arrangements for a delayed arrival that may be needed.
As shared yesterday, please be reminded of safety precautions that are encouraged in rainy conditions with potential flooding and, whether walking or driving, always turn around should you encounter an area covered with water. Further information is available at www.weather.gov.
We appreciate the continued understanding of our community, and patience with the changes that this tropical storm has necessitated this week. We’re hopeful a little break from the rain today will help alleviate some of the conditions that have been most concerning, but we will continue to monitor the forecast and condition of roadways for any additional changes that may become necessary to ensure the safety of our students, staff and families. We recognize that these changes to school operations are challenging for everyone, and will always announce changes with as much notice as possible.
Thank you again.
Millbrook PTO update: The PTO meeting that was scheduled for tomorrow is now canceled due to district-wide after school activities being canceled. Sorry for the inconvenience, PTO is always available via email if you have any questions, suggestions or ideas. Millbrookelementarypto@gmail.com.
Our school district administrators are continuing to monitor Tropical Storm Debby alongside Emergency Management Officials. With the extensive rainfall throughout the day today, please note that a change has been made to the report to school and work time tomorrow.
To ensure visibility tomorrow morning for school bus drivers and all who would be travelling before daylight on rain-soaked roadways, some which may be flooded, all Aiken County Public Schools and offices will operate on a two-hour delay tomorrow, Wednesday, August 7. Due to the delayed start, only lunch will be served in our cafeterias tomorrow.
The Aiken County Career & Technology Center (ACCTC) will not hold a morning session tomorrow. Afternoon sessions will be held as planned.
Students at the Center for Innovative Learning (CIL) will have an adjusted schedule tomorrow of noon-4:30 p.m.
Students on half-day schedules, including Early Learning Special Education students and others, will not come to school tomorrow as buses will be unable to make mid-day routes.
Employees will also report to work on a two-hour delay tomorrow. Employees who report to work at 10 a.m. or later as part of their regular schedule, will report to work at their regularly scheduled time.
In addition to tomorrow’s delayed start, all after school activities for tomorrow, Wednesday, August 7, are cancelled, including practices, meetings, and aftercare through QuestZone.
Employees should plan to complete their workday as scheduled tomorrow, with the exception of employees who may be scheduled to work beyond 5 p.m. All schools and offices will close promptly at 5 p.m. tomorrow.
Please take a few minutes to be reminded of precautions to observe in heavy rain and flooding conditions. Most importantly, if you come to an area that is covered with water, you may not know the depth of the water or the condition of the road or ground underneath. This is especially true at night or when it is dark outside. Whether driving or walking, should you encounter an area covered with water, please turn around. Further information is available at www.weather.gov.
This storm is likely to continue to impact our community over the coming days. We will continue to monitor this storm’s forecasted impact to our county and share any updates related to school operations that may be needed. Please stay tuned to local authorities for precautions to keep your family safe.
Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience that these changes will cause, and appreciate everyone’s understanding and cooperation.
