Rabun Families,

Governor Kemp announced schools will remain closed for in-person instruction through April 24th.

We will continue online instruction through April 24th. Rabun County Schools will be closed April 3rd - April 10th for Spring Break. Students are allowed to work on assignments during this time. However, no additional assignments will be made during this break.

The Nutrition department will serve meals on Monday and Thursday of next week. During Spring Break, we will return to meals once a week and those meals will be available on Monday, April 6th.

Below is a link to another survey to see if anyone needs additional Chromebooks.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this unusual time. We are here to support Rabun County students.
