As the new school year begins, the Hall County School District continues to be proud of the effort put forth by team members, students, parents, and local health officials in creating a safe and meaningful learning environment for the boys and girls of our district.

This page will provide you with upcoming guidelines for the opening of school in August of 2021. Please note that these guidelines are subject to change based on COVID-19 numbers in our community. Throughout the school year, we will rely on data, as well as advice from local healthcare professionals and the Department of Public Health to make informed decisions.

If you have follow up questions to any of the information provided here, please begin by reaching out to your local school.

Once again, we appreciate the cooperation and support of all families and team members, and we look forward to a safe and successful 2021-22 school year.

As of today, July 23, 2021, for the school year 2021-22, the HCSD will:

• be mask optional.
• continue to implement and encourage simple but effective mitigation strategies: handwashing, covering coughs and sneezes, wiping down high touch surfaces, etc.
• continue to contact trace and notify close contacts.
• publicly post and share our COVID-19 weekly report we provide to the Georgia Department of Public Health.
