Pickens County Schools is dedicated to
student growth and success and must
also prioritize the health and safety of
our students, staff, and greater
community. We are eager to see
students back in our halls, but we are
aware of the concerns and questions
that remain ahead.
Pickens County Schools has developed
a TENTATIVE plan that includes three
scenarios for returning to school for
2020-21.
Preferred Plan
Possible Plan
Least Ideal Plan
These plans were created using the
recommendations from the Georgia
Department of Education’s “Georgia’s
Path to Recovery for K-12 Schools”.
Pickens County Schools will determine
the plan based on the specific level of
spread in Pickens County as
determined by the Department of
Public Health.

It is our responsibility as an academic
institution to provide a reliable and
effective learning experience for our
students each year while balancing the
implications of the evolving COVID-19
pandemic. Additional preventative
measures will be implemented in
schools to mitigate the spread of the
virus.
More information and guidance will
be shared in the coming weeks.

I feel students’ total welfare including academic, social, and safety needs must be of first importance over State and national politics. If school is to proceed as “normal”, then at the very least there needs to be mandated masks, smaller or staggered class schedules, thorough cleaning of rooms, etc. Then, there is the health and safety of the school staff from teachers to bus drivers. Blindly going ahead as if Coved 19 will just go away is foolish.
