WINTER WEATHER UPDATE: 2-HOUR DELAY WEDNESDAY, JAN. 22 | Calhoun City Schools continues to monitor weather conditions in partnership with Georgia Emergency Management officials. At this time, we have made the decision to operate on a 2-hour delay for Wednesday, January 22, 2025. (Note: If precipitation occurs overnight, this will be re-evaluated, and a decision to close may be warranted.) Regarding morning temperatures that create safety concerns: We believe parents are the ultimate decision-makers for their families. Should school be in session and parents have concerns regarding the transportation of their children to or from school, they may elect to keep their children at home. Students will be assigned alternative activities to make up for this absence upon their return. We want to work with all of our families to navigate inclement weather challenges. Thank you for your understanding and support as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff!

Update: All Extracurricular Activities CANCELED - Tuesday, Jan. 21st Due to the anticipated weather, all extracurricular activities are canceled for today, Tuesday, January 21. Calhoun City Schools continues monitoring the weather and the potential for precipitation later this afternoon and evening. Be safe & stay warm, Jackets! 🐝

Pick Up Meals TODAY: To prepare for the anticipated inclement weather, our dedicated School Nutrition team will be distributing breakfasts and lunches TODAY, Tuesday, January 21st, from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM at the Calhoun Primary/Elementary School Complex. Meals can be picked up around back, at the cafeteria side door (same as the summer feeding program). Stay warm & stay fed, Jackets!
