To limit campus access during school hours, security gates will be installed at the Banks County Primary School and Banks County Elementary School. The gates will close at 8:15 a.m. each morning after student drop-off and reopen at 2:30 p.m. each afternoon. The parking areas in front of the office at each school will be open from 8:15 – 2:30, if parents need to visit the school during this time.
We understand this change may require some adjustment, but it reflects a shared commitment between the Banks County Sheriff's Office and Banks County School System to proactive safety measures that prioritize the well-being of our students and staff.
As you plan for the new school year, please be mindful of this procedural change. In order to prevent traffic congestion on Highway 51 South and Hill Street, parents will not be permitted to line up for parent pickup until the gates are opened at 2:30 p.m. Parent pickup will begin at 2:55 p.m. As in years past, please be sure to enter the elementary school pickup line using the Hill Street entrance.
