Administrators from the Augusta School Department and staff and teachers from Gilbert Elementary School had the incredible opportunity to attend an educational expo at the renowned Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, Georgia. The energy, passion, and innovative practices we witnessed have left us truly inspired and fueled with new ideas to bring back to our students and schools. We’re excited to take what we’ve learned and turn that inspiration into action!

*Paid for with federal grant funds earmarked for this expressed purpose.

Due to the timing of anticipated inclement weather, all Augusta Schools will have a Remote School Day tomorrow, Thursday, April 3, 2025. Based on weather reports predicting icy conditions during the morning commute and typical bus routes, a two-hour delay is not a viable option. Thank you for your understanding and support as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff. As a reminder, a Remote School Day means that while students and staff will work from home, it remains an instructional day.
