Due to school closure on 12/3 and 12/4, the Band Winter Concert is currently postponed. More information will be forthcoming.
We have just been made aware of a positive COVID case within our food service staff. This case, along with the resulting quarantines, will not allow us to be open. Therefore, the elementary and the middle/high will be closed Thursday and Friday. We will update you with further details as we make decisions tomorrow. Please continue to check our FB page and website for updates. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate these difficult challenges.
FCCLA will begin collecting non-perishable food items and coats to donate to the local food pantry on Monday, Dec. 7. Food collection points will be set up at each entrance to the building. Gently used coats may be turned in to Mrs. Driver.

If you are looking for a way to not miss home basketball action this season you can subscribe to home games here: https://www.nfhsnetwork.com/schools/schley-county-high-school-ellaville-ga
This is a reminder: there will be no general public or student ticket sales for home basketball games. Each player and cheerleader can have 2 people purchase tickets at the gate. Those people will sign in next to the player's name when they purchase their tickets.
FFA needs your help! We are making stockings for kids in need. A list of what is needed is located at each teacher's room. Mr. Sellers has more lists if needed. All items can be brought to Mr. Sellers room. Anything you bring will be greatly appreciated.

Schley County Schools will continue in person instruction for the second semester beginning January 5, 2021. Although we believe this learning option is best, a virtual learning option for current virtual students may be extended for the second semester of 2020-2021 for those students who successfully completed their current online curriculum. These students may apply to continue with the Edgenuity platform by completing the following application at https://5il.co/n90h. If you plan to continue as a virtual student, please complete and return the virtual form prior to December 4th. If a student does not apply, we will assume they are returning to in person instruction January 5, 2021.
Taylor Co. has decided to rescind their decision to forego the playoffs. This in effect bumps us out of the playoff bracket. We will not have another football game this season. We were moving forward based upon the information given us, so our players and cheerleaders could be prepared, for them not to get this opportunity is very disheartening and saddening to us all. We appreciate all of our student athletes and their dedication to their programs and their school.
