Newton County Schools to Resume Operations on Friday, January 24, 2025

Important AnnouncementMessage from Superintendent Bradley:

Dear Parents and Staff,

Allow me to thank you for your patience and understanding as we’ve worked to recover from this week’s winter storm.

Over the past several days, our operations team has been actively assessing our properties, school sites, roadways, and school entrances to ensure they are safe for use. We have also maintained regular communication with local and state authorities to monitor conditions and gain up-to-date information on travel conditions throughout the county. Thanks to these efforts, I am happy to share that we will be fully operational tomorrow and will return to our regular schedule.

However, I would like to alert you to the fact that there are still a few secondary roadways in our county that are currently being treated, but we have received assurances that they are passable. Accordingly, we will continue monitoring these roadways in cooperation with our municipal partners up until the early morning hours. Again, I want to stress that our first obligation is safety, and our core business is teaching and learning – and we are confident that conditions are safe to return to buildings and to re-engage our kids in learning.

Upon return, I am advising that everyone dress appropriately relaxed and warmly.

Thank you again for your patience and continued support during this time. We look forward to seeing all of our students back in school tomorrow.

Sincerely,
Duke
