Weather Watch: No Jan. 31 Activities

We are closely monitoring the next round of winter weather expected this weekend for our area. Based on the forecast and after consulting with local emergency teams, all extra-curricular activities for Saturday, Jan. 31, have been canceled.

Any decision concerning our Monday school schedule will be shared with families no later than Sunday evening through email/text messages, our websites, social media, and local media stations. If you are not receiving our direct messages, please check your contact information in the Parent Portal.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to navigate through our weather challenges.

Parent Advisory Council

The Barrow County School System Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is an inclusive group of parents/guardians and community members who work together to advocate for the voices of our families and staff members to create positive change within our schools.

The BCSS PAC is dedicated to ensuring all voices in the Barrow County School System and community are heard, respected and investigated. Our goal is to break down racial, socio-economic, and societal divides that are affecting our community by working together to improve communication, curriculum, and procedures within the district through brainstorming solutions. By representing all BCSS families, it is our responsibility to engage with others in our community on a consistent basis to ensure that we can collectively identify the pulse of our stakeholders. We will work diligently to support our school district in its vision to being Boldly Committed to Student Success.
