Inclement Weather Announcement

Friday, September 27, 2024, will be an eLearning day for all students and staff in Sumter School District due to the high probability of heavy rain, followed by strong winds this evening and tomorrow morning. All after-school activities are canceled for both Thursday and Friday.

Our area is at risk of downed trees and power outages, in addition to flooding in low-lying areas. As a result, schools and office buildings will be closed, and all activities, including athletic events and field trips, are canceled. Because we are an approved eLearning district, this day will not need to be made up. Lessons and assignments will be posted in Schoology. Students who are unable to participate due to power outages, lack of internet service, or other barriers will be able to complete their eLearning assignments at a later time.

To ensure the safety of our students and staff, Sumter School District works in conjunction with emergency management and law enforcement officials when making decisions regarding inclement weather in our community. Although the forecast could change, we wanted to give our families and staff enough notice to prepare for the eLearning day. Please stay safe.
