PRESS RELEASE December 7, 2020 Due to increases in positive COVID-19 cases among students and staff, a significant number of students and staff in quarantine, a...n excessive number of students absent, and a concerning number of pupils sent home ill today, the McDuffie County School System has made the decision to close all McDuffie County schools until January 5, 2021.

INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS Face-to-face students received directions to continue their learning during this time of temporary school closure. Chromebooks and hotspots were reissued to face-to-face learners last month. These devices can be used to access assignments, which will be posted in Google Classroom.

Learn from Home students, who will continue to receive their instruction and assignments through Google Classroom, are not impacted by this change. Internet access points remain available at the locations listed on the system website.

Thank you to all that came out tonight to help us light the Town's Christmas tree. Great turn out and we even had Santa and Mrs. Clause on hand! Thank you to all the volunteers and those that performed.
