In coordination with local emergency management and in accordance with Governor Brian Kemp’s State of Emergency declaration, Lincoln County Schools will transition to a Learn From Home Day on Monday, January 26, 2026.
This decision follows close consultation with public safety officials. Although the forecast predicts sunshine by Monday morning, extreme overnight lows in the teens and 20s present a significant risk of refreezing and "black ice." Our primary concern is the safe operation of our school bus fleet, as these high-profile vehicles face unique safety challenges on icy bridges and secondary roads.
Instructional Details:
Packet Distribution: Physical learning packets are being sent home with students today, Friday, January 23.
Absences: Students who are absent today may collect their materials from the front office once normal operations resume.
Grading: To alleviate stress on our families, these packets are for remediation and skills reinforcement only and will not be graded.
The district will continue to monitor road conditions throughout the day Monday. A follow-up announcement regarding Tuesday’s schedule will be released by 4:00 PM on Monday via our primary notification channels.

We want to give a BIG thank you to Amanda Sava, Meteorologist at the National Weather Service for teaching our 4th grade students more about the weather, what technology/tools are used to observe weather, how to read weather maps, and how to prepare for any inclement weather that may head our way! ❄️
Lincoln County Schools is actively monitoring the weather forecast for the upcoming weekend. The safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority. We are working in close coordination with local emergency management officials to evaluate potential impacts. Should any adjustments to the school schedule be necessary for Monday, January 26, families will be notified promptly via our mass notification system (phone/text), social media, district websites, and local news outlets.
Please remember that tomorrow, January 23, 2026, is the deadline to sign up and pay for the afterschool dances next week.
First grade students enjoyed learning about fractions by using pizza last week!
CSRA RESA highlighted the excellent work taking place in our classrooms in their January newsletter! Vanessa Murphy, Growing Readers Coaching Specialist, has been working closely with participating teachers to support the implementation of independent literacy skill application within the daily reading block. Second-grade teachers Ms. Johnson and Ms. Cook have successfully established effective classroom procedures that support high-quality literacy instruction. They regularly confer one-on-one with students and provide targeted reading strategies aligned to individual student needs. The photos reflect students actively engaged in applying these literacy skills during both independent and partner reading. Mary Lois Akins-Newsome, Let’s Read Georgia Coach, has been working closely with teachers to emphasize the importance of high-quality interactive read-alouds. Using Maria Walther’s Interactive Read-Aloud model and Let’s Read Georgia’s Knot Your Average Read Aloud Notes, instruction is intentionally focused on building vocabulary and highlighting rhyming words. Mary Lois also provides support to Mrs. McWhorter as she implements 95 Phonics during the whole-group ELA block, ensuring strong foundational literacy instruction for all students. We are so proud of our K, 2nd, & 3rd grade teachers!
We had a wonderful 100th day of school! Students enjoyed various academic activities and some just for fun too!
