Today, Perry Harrison Elementary 3rd graders had the exciting opportunity to learn about local government firsthand from two of our very own county commissioners — Ms. Howard and Mrs. Kenlan!

Our young learners asked thoughtful questions and got an inside look at how decisions are made in our community. Thank you to Commissioner Howard and Commissioner Kenlan for inspiring the next generation of civic leaders! 💬🏛️💡

Chatham County Schools will operate on an optional workday for staff on Thursday, January 29, 2026. Students will not attend school, and there will be no remote learning for students. All after-school events, activities, and athletics are canceled.

After consulting with the National Weather Service, local DOT, and emergency management officials, this decision was made due to lingering dangerous road conditions in the northern parts of the county following this week’s winter storm and overnight extreme cold.

Staff should use their judgment regarding driving conditions when determining whether to report to work, and should consult with their supervisor regarding remote work options, if applicable.

A quick winter tour around Chatham County this morning: icy back roads and frozen patches that haven’t melted in the shade. Travel conditions remain hazardous in many areas, especially with our more rural routes.

The safety of our students, families, and staff comes first, and we want everyone off these icy roads and safe at home while learning continues.

Stay warm and we’ll see everyone back soon! ❄️ #OneChatham #ElevateChatham
