Washington County Middle School

Dear Washington County Schools’ Family I hope that everyone is faring well with the passing of Tropical Storm Idalia. Based on our current assessment, the major impact from rain and wind has passed our area and we should be fine for tomorrow. Therefore, Washington County Schools will be open on a regular schedule for Friday, September 1st. Please remain safe and we look forward to seeing our students and staff in school in the morning. Sincerely, Dr. David O. White Interim Superintendent Washington County Schools

واشنطن، وصل إعصار إداليا إلى اليابسة هذا الصباح في فلوريدا ويتتبعه في جميع أنحاء الولاية. باعتباره إعصارًا من الفئة 3، فإنه سيجلب رياحًا شديدة وأمطارًا في أعقابه. بينما نستعد لتأثيره على منطقتنا، فإننا نلغي بشكل استباقي جميع أنشطة ما بعد المدرسة لهذا اليوم، الأربعاء 30 أغسطس، وسنخصص غدًا، الخميس 31 أغسطس، يومًا للتعلم عن بعد. سنقوم بتقييم آثار الطقس العاصف وإبلاغك بحالة مدارسنا ليوم الجمعة، 1 سبتمبر، في أقرب وقت ممكن، حتى تتمكن أنت وعائلتك من التخطيط وفقًا لذلك. كما هو الحال دائمًا، فإن سلامة طلابنا وموظفينا هي أولويتنا القصوى. بإخلاص، دكتور ديفيد أو وايت المشرف المؤقت مدارس مقاطعة واشنطن

Dear Washington County Schools’ Family, Hurricane Idalia made landfall this morning in Florida and is tracking across the state. As a category 3 hurricane, it will bring sustained high winds and rain in its wake. As we prepare for its impact on our area, we are preemptively canceling all afterschool activities for today, Wednesday, August 30th and will designate tomorrow, Thursday, August 31st, a remote learning day. We will assess the aftermath of the inclement weather and inform you of the status of our schools for Friday, September 1st, as soon as possible, so that you and your families may plan accordingly. As always, the safety of our students and staff is our top priority. Sincerely, Dr. David O. White Interim Superintendent Washington County Schools

A huge THANK YOU to ministers and congregations of Plymouth Church of Christ and Plymouth First Christian Church, two of our local churches, for providing these generous donations of clear bookbags and school supplies for Scholars and Staff in our middle and elementary schools.

Estimada familia de las escuelas del condado de Washington: Mientras continuamos rastreando la tormenta tropical Idalia, el pronóstico actual del Centro Nacional de Huracanes muestra que Idalia se convertirá en un huracán importante cuando toque tierra y comience a moverse sobre Florida. Se prevé que el huracán Idalia afecte a Georgia, Carolina del Sur y Carolina del Norte a finales de esta semana. Como existe la posibilidad de lluvias sustanciales y vientos con fuerza de tormenta, continuaremos monitoreando el progreso de Idalia y los mantendremos informados sobre cualquier cambio o actualización del calendario del Distrito Escolar del Condado de Washington. Como siempre, la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes y personal es nuestra principal prioridad. Gracias, Dr. David O. White Superintendente interino Escuelas del condado de Washington
