McDuffie County School System officials announced Monday that all district facilities have power, so students, teachers and staff are returning to school this week.

McDuffie County School System employees will return to work Tuesday, October 8. Students will return to the classroom on Wednesday, October 9.

McDuffie County students will follow the same schedule this week and next as the Columbia County School District.

That means it's a two-day school week for students, and three days for teachers.

McDuffie County School Students Return Wednesday

Students in McDuffie County will have school Wednesday and Thursday this week. Students will not attend school on Friday, since that was a previously scheduled professional learning day for faculty and staff.

"The McDuffie County School System is committed to ensuring a smooth transition for families and employees while navigating this challenging situation.
