Since March 1, 2021, the Evans County School System has had 27 students who had to be quarantined from exposure, and 2 students and 1 employee who had to be quarantined due to testing positive. Over the last three weeks, the district has had zero cases and the Department of Public Health has indicated 0/NA cases per 100,000 for Evans County. Based on this data, beginning Monday, April 19, 2021, the district will return to the base level of its Return to School Plan (shown below). The original plan called for recommending face masks; however, face masks will continue to be required through April 30, 2021 for all employees and students. If the current data trend continues, the district will lift the mask mandate beginning May 3, 2021. In addition to Governor Kemp's executive order (4/8/21) lifting restrictions on gatherings and sheltering in place, these efforts should allow for normal operations during the last month of school. "We remain cautious and will continue to monitor daily, however, we are extremely excited at the possibility to return to a sense of normalcy for students, teachers, staff, and families." Dr. Waters

Our fifth grade students have been working hard to get their STEM Garden ready for planting. We couldn’t have made this garden possible without the generosity from one of our local businesses, a community member, and employees in our district. Farm Bureau donated the materials used by Bradley Hall’s students to build planter beds. Michael LaSala provided our topsoil. ECSS Instructional Coach Samantha Keyfauver was a key person in making our garden a reality. The fifth grade class is grateful for this opportunity and we are excited to see our garden flourish.
Mark your calendar for Virtual STEM Night April 22, 2021. More information will be provided about home STEM challenges, class activities, and Virtual STEM Night.

After four years of leading the Tigers, Tony Welch is leaving Claxton, a Class A public school football program that he led to the state playoffs the last three years. Before returning to his hometown of Claxton, Welch was the head football coach at Savannah High and Memorial Day School leading both programs to the state playoffs. Welch’s record at his alma mater was 20-23 (.465%) with the Tigers making the playoffs three years in a row. Under Welch’s leadership, ten players have signed letters of intent to play football at the next level.According to Claxton athletic director Mark Stroud, “In four years Coach Welch has brought Claxton football to a new level and we appreciate everything he has done and wish him the best of luck with his new adventure”. The process for selecting a new head coach will begin immediately. "Building on the firm foundation established by Coach Welch, the district will be seeking a candidate who is experienced, attuned to community, and seeking to build character as much as a winning record."
