Holly Durrence, ERCCA CEO, Lori Durden, OTC President, and Marty Waters, ECSS Superintendent, were beyond proud to attend Lt. Governor Duncan's awards ceremony to award and recognize College and Career Academies across the state. Bringing home $3,075,000 to Evans County was icing on the cake.
So many wonderful partners, community members, employees, and elected officials are to be thanked for their support. It has been a team effort! We would be remiss if we did not recognize the late Senator Jack Hill's tireless efforts to support our community. Through these collective efforts we will ensure students graduate college and career ready, workforce development is aligned to our region, and our community will be transformed.
We are Evans County Schools: We expect excellence...no exceptions, no excuses!
Proud to be a Tiger!!!

CES STEM Week: Second graders have been asking great questions to determine the sequence of the life cycle of butterflies and frogs. Some of the students were eager to hold live tadpoles to see their tiny hind legs up close. Others preferred exploring the different stages of the life cycle of frogs using augmented reality with their iPads.
Holly Sikes’ STEM classes learned how recycling and keeping wildlife safe makes the earth happy. They made bird feeders out of water bottles to help reduce the amount of plastic in the landfills and keep birds happy and safe by feeding them!
CES STEM Week is off to a great start! Georgia Power presented an interactive presentation to third graders. Other grades participated in programming robots, learning about life cycles of frogs and butterflies, engineering water filtration systems, and gardening. We will showcase some of the amazing things going on in class this week leading up to Virtual STEM Night. Tonight's sneak peek is from Pre-K students in Mrs. Smith's class. They made self-portraits using things founds in nature, such as sticks, rocks, feathers, and leaves.
Students in Mrs. Myers’s 6th-grade Career Survey class learned viable skills and concepts in the business, architecture, and construction careers while developing a business and marketing plan, designing, and constructing their food truck business. Each class participated in a Food Truck War competition where students presented their food truck business to see who created the best business and marketing plan and the best design and construction of their food truck.
CES Home STEM Challenge photos must be submitted by April 19th to be included in the presentation. shorturl.at/fhnGR Send photos to skeyfauver@evanscountyschools.org or reply to the KiNVO message that was sent.
Since March 1, 2021, the Evans County School System has had 27 students who had to be quarantined from exposure, and 2 students and 1 employee who had to be quarantined due to testing positive. Over the last three weeks, the district has had zero cases and the Department of Public Health has indicated 0/NA cases per 100,000 for Evans County. Based on this data, beginning Monday, April 19, 2021, the district will return to the base level of its Return to School Plan (shown below). The original plan called for recommending face masks; however, face masks will continue to be required through April 30, 2021 for all employees and students. If the current data trend continues, the district will lift the mask mandate beginning May 3, 2021. In addition to Governor Kemp's executive order (4/8/21) lifting restrictions on gatherings and sheltering in place, these efforts should allow for normal operations during the last month of school. "We remain cautious and will continue to monitor daily, however, we are extremely excited at the possibility to return to a sense of normalcy for students, teachers, staff, and families." Dr. Waters
