Each year, the National FFA Organization honors FFA members who show the utmost dedication to the organization through their desire to develop their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication with less than 1% of all members of FFA achieving this goal.

𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰: School buses are the most regulated vehicles on the road. They’re designed to be safer than passenger vehicles in preventing crashes and injuries, and in every state, stop-arm laws exist to protect children from other motorists.

Camden County Schools will reopen for staff on Wednesday, August 7, 2024. Students return on Thursday, August 8, 2024. After thorough assessment of all CCS facilities, we have determined that we can safely resume operations despite the challenges posed by Tropical Storm Debby. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate these unexpected challenges. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to your child’s school for assistance. We will continue to monitor the weather and road conditions.

Due to the potential for high winds, heavy rainfall and flooding associated with tropical storm Debby over the next two days, and with guidance from the National Weather Service and Camden Emergency Management Agency, Camden County Schools will delay the opening of the 2024-2025 school year. Camden County Schools will be closed Monday, August 5, 2024, and Tuesday, August 6, 2024, for all staff and students. Weather permitting, teachers will have their final day of preplanning on Wednesday, August 7, 2024, and the first day of school will be Thursday, August 8, 2024. The safety of our students, employees, and their families will always be our first priority.

We are closely monitoring Tropical Storm Debby and receiving regular updates from the National Weather Service and our local emergency management teams. Should the school day need to be changed, we will communicate that information via the Camden County Schools app notification, email, text, automated calls, social media, the district website, and local media outlets. Additional updates will be provided as they are available. Now is a great time for you to make sure you have a way to be contacted if this incoming weather has a local impact. All county residents: Camden County has a CodeRed mass weather and local alert system. If you have not signed up for CodeRed, we encourage you to do so. Use this link to create an account. https://www.co.camden.ga.us/482/CodeRED If you are the parent or guardian of a student in the District and you have not downloaded the Camden County Schools app, please do so for up-to-date news and information. qrco.de/bfGbEI
