As our community continues to recover from Hurricane Helene, District Five is announcing a plan to reopen our schools. 🏫 As of today, all of our schools have power, and our team has been working hard to ensure our buildings are safe for students and staff to return.
Monday, October 7 will be a workday for all District Five teachers and staff, to allow time for planning and preparation. This will also allow additional time for power to be restored to homes, and for city and county crews to clear remaining storm debris from our roads. 🚧 All District Five students will return to school on Tuesday, October 8, on a two hour delay. This delay will allow extra time in the morning for buses, student drivers and families to safely travel to school. ⏰
Our transportation team continues to monitor our bus routes to ensure they are safe for student travel. 🚌
We can't wait to welcome our students back to school, and help our community return to normal. We are thankful for your support during this difficult time! ❤️ #WeAreD5
We know the recovery still continues around our District Five community, and once again, we want to help. ❤️
Thanks to the generosity of Pizza Inn of Duncan and other community partners, District Five, in partnership with Middle Tyger Community Center and Chartwells, will once again be providing FREE MEALS on to all students, staff, families and community members who need them. 🍎🌭🍽

All District Five schools will remain closed for the remainder of this week, through Friday, October 4. 🏫 All after school activities and programs are also canceled until further notice.
A majority of our schools and homes in our district remain without power. 💡 Many roads are still impassable due to downed trees and power lines, preventing safe travel for our school buses. 🚌
Due to the widespread power and internet outages that continue, there will be no e-Learning expectations this week. 💻
We know our students are safe havens for our students. We cannot wait to reopen our doors, welcome our students back, and give them a sense of normalcy again. ❤️ Please stay safe!
We are overwhelmed by the response, and the generosity of our community ❤️ Today, we served nearly 3,000 meals, and tomorrow we’ll do it again! 🍎
