Take a moment to look ahead for key dates—first/last day of school, holidays, and breaks—and share with friends and neighbors so everyone’s in the loop. Thanks for planning with us!
Due to the potential for severe storms, all Chambers County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay on Monday, March 16.
School buses will run two hours later than their normally scheduled pickup times.
Student drop-off by parents will also run two hours later than normal.
Please use caution during your morning commute, and we look forward to seeing our students safely at school. Thank you.
Mark your calendars, Chambers County family! Our students and teachers will be enjoying a well-deserved break from March 30 through April 3, 2026. It's the perfect time to rest, recharge, and create lasting memories together!
As we approach this special time, we're also reminded that April 3rd marks Good Friday—a day of reflection, faith, and renewal for many in our community. It's a beautiful reminder of hope, redemption, and the power of coming together with purpose.
Whether you're spending break time with loved ones, exploring new places, or simply relaxing at home, we hope you find moments of peace and joy.
See you refreshed and ready to finish the school year strong when we return on Monday, April 6th! 💚

Amazing Shake Competition Winners
We’re proud to celebrate our 6th–8th grade students who competed in this year’s Amazing Shake! Twenty-five participants brought their best professionalism, poise, and communication skills—congratulations to our winners:
• Overall Winner: Emmanuel Floyd (8th Grade, WF Burns Middle School)
• Second Place: Mason Landrum (6th Grade, WF Burns Middle School)
• Third Place: Courtney LaShae Jenkins (8th Grade, WF Burns Middle School)
These three students will travel to Montgomery in March for a three-day internship on the State House floor during the legislative session—an incredible real-world leadership opportunity.
Huge thanks to Dr. Weldon, Dr. Jones, Dr. Groover, Sarah Maddux, and everyone who helped make the Amazing Shake a success. We appreciate your time, mentorship, and support for our students.
What’s the Amazing Shake? It’s a competition that teaches students professional skills—like handshakes, interviews, conversation, and problem-solving—through real-world scenarios and friendly competition.
Thank you for your patience as we navigated the winter weather. We’re hopeful that road conditions have improved and that everything is clear and ready to go. But, please be careful and watch for slick spots on less-traveled roads.
📚🏫 We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27.
Stay warm tonight, and we’ll see you soon!
This brief shift to remote learning is a proactive measure intended to curb the spread of illness and allow our facilities to be thoroughly sanitized before students return.
