Dear Chatham County Families,
We want to inform you about a current phone and internet outage affecting the western half of Chatham County, impacting several schools, including:
- Bennett School
- Bonlee School
- Chatham Middle School
- JS Waters School
- One Academy
- Siler City Elementary School
- Silk Hope School
- Virginia Cross Elementary School
The service provider is actively working to restore connectivity and anticipates resolution by tomorrow morning. If service is restored, students will proceed with the North Carolina End-of-Grade (EOG) Reading Assessment as scheduled.
In the event that service is not restored by tomorrow morning, the following adjusted testing schedule will apply:
- Wednesday, May 28: Grades 3–8 Reading EOG
- Thursday, May 29: Grades 3–8 Math EOG
- Friday, May 30: Grades 5 and 8 Science EOG
We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we collaborate with our service provider to restore internet access. Please ensure your child has a restful night's sleep, reflects on the year's learning, and is prepared for a successful EOG experience tomorrow.
Thank you for your continued support of Chatham County Schools.
