FANNIN COUNTY, Ga. — Fannin County Schools announced the district will return to normal schedule on Wednesday days after severe floods hit the area.

The district had virtual learning days on Monday and Tuesday.

According to the school district, West Fannin Elementary School remains under a boil water advisory, as does McCaysville, so the district is taking steps to ensure operational safety.

That means the school will have bottled water available and supplemental handwashing stations for students and staff.

The full district, however, will function as normal aside from that, with classes following the normal schedule.

The district also said the Veterans Ceremony planned for Fannin County High School will still be held Wednesday at 9 a.m. as planned.

“We recognize that some of our families may still be navigating the effects of the recent storms,” school officials said. “If your family has been impacted by storm damage and your student is unable to attend school, please contact your child’s school so the absence can be administratively excused.”

Any families still facing challenges or who could benefit from additional help are encouraged to contact school administrators.

“We are committed to supporting our students and families during this time,” the district said. “We are Fannin.”
