The Bounce Coalition is partnering with the Russell County School District to provide a workshop for parents and caregivers interested in learning self-care strategies to regain balance during this stressful time.

In recognition of Veterans Day, please take time to view the Virtual Veterans Day Programs that our schools have put together.  We owe our Veterans a debt that can never be paid and on behalf of Russell County Schools, I thank our Veterans for their service and what you all have done for our country.  For our Veterans that have made the Supreme Sacrifice, we offer our support to the loved ones left behind.  

Russell County Schools will remain all virtual November 9-13 (in observance of Veterans Day, there is no school on Wednesday, November 11) and the situation will be reviewed at the end of next week

Russell County Schools will cease in-person classes on Friday, October 16, 2020 and begin ALL VIRTUAL on Monday, October 19, 2020.
