William James Middle School

Thank you to our employees, students, and families for your resilience during the state-mandated school closures due to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak of 2020. You have found new ways to accomplish traditional tasks and lead in the face of adversity. As the 2019-2020 school year comes to an end, our schools will host two events: a virtual honors day to celebrate student accomplishments and a drive-through event for students and families to pick up and drop off personal belongings and school items. Please see the master schedule of these events.

 

Virtual Honors Day Ceremonies

Our schools will recognize the achievements of their students with virtual honors day ceremonies on the following dates. We will recognize students who received the following awards: Principals’ Honor Roll, Honor Roll, Perfect Attendance, and Scholastic Achievement. Certificates for other achievements may be distributed during each school’s drive through events. Schools will place a video of their ceremonies on their website and social media pages by 6 p.m. on the following days:

Bulloch County Schools established a dedicated Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) website on March 5. Please visit it here. It serves as an online resource for the following: 

• Answers to your frequently asked questions about district and school operations during the closure and how to post your additional questions.
• Safety alert news
• Trusted national, state, and local public health resources and tips to help keep you healthy
• Information about print and digital resources to keep kids engaged
• An up-to-date list of our free meal sites for children ages 0-18
• Information about how the school district is keeping essential functions operating.

Updated May 14, 2020 - Bulloch County Schools will continue to serve free meals to any children ages 0-18 on weekdays through Friday, July 17, at our established sites. Memorial Day (May 25) is the only day we will not serve meals. A current list of our sites is listed and attached below. 

 

Bulloch County Schools will deliver bags of free meals to 78 locations on weekdays (Monday – Friday). The program will provide free grab and go breakfast and lunch meals to any child ages 0 to 18. No registration, sign-in, or identification is required, and the children do not have to be enrolled in one of our schools. It is not based on income. Any child is welcome, even children who may be staying here temporarily with family. Children must be present to receive meals. Look for a Bulloch County Schools’ bus at each delivery location to receive meals. 

 

In the interest of public health and social distancing recommendations, the meals are for pick up only. No meals can be eaten at the sites. Families should also observe social distancing practices while waiting and receiving meals.

 

The meal delivery sites were selected based on input from the district’s school social workers, family engagement specialists, school nutrition personnel, and transportation personnel to serve areas with the most need.  Each meal sack will include food for breakfast and lunch. The funding for the program is made possible through the school district’s School Nutrition Department as part of the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs.

 

USDA guidelines prevent the school district from being able to provide evening meals or meals on weekends. There are multiple community organizations, including Bulloch Volunteer Organizations Mobilized in Disasters (VOAD) who are organizing efforts locally to further meet any food insecurity needs.

 

Bulloch County Schools and its School Nutrition Program do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, disability, age or gender.  For additional information about this remote feeding program, contact Bulloch County Schools.
