Appling County Schools Calendar, BOE Office & Parent Help
If you’re looking for the Appling County Board of Education, most everyday school questions actually run through Appling County School System. The district’s Baxley office, academic calendar, school contacts, transportation department, registration resources, board pages and employee services are all on separate official pages.
This guide brings those pieces together for Appling County families, students, employees and residents. Use it to find the right district route, then rely on the live Appling County Schools page when a calendar date, meeting notice, form or policy could have changed.
Appling County Board of Education at a glance
The district’s central office is in Baxley at 249 Blackshear Highway. Use that office for district-level routing and Board of Education questions, but school-specific issues, transportation, employment, student services and registration each have their own better starting point.
Don’t mix the offices: the Appling County Board of Education is the local public-school governance body. Appling County government and the Georgia State Board of Education handle different responsibilities.
Appling County school calendar: use the revised FY27 calendar
The district currently publishes a dedicated 2026–27 Calendar page with a revised approved school-calendar PDF. That document is the right place to confirm the full school year, including instructional days, breaks, staff days and any revisions.
The live district calendar is useful for what is coming up right now. For October 2026, the district lists the end of the first nine weeks on October 5, an in-service day on October 9, and holidays on October 12 and October 13.
Planning the whole school year?
Use the revised 2026–27 calendar PDF. It is better for long-range planning than relying on a few live-event listings.
Checking what’s happening this week?
Use the live ACS Calendar for current district events. It supports month, week and day views and includes calendar-alert options.
Calendar rule for families: use the school-year PDF for long-range childcare and travel planning, then recheck the live district calendar before an important school day. Weather, emergency closures and district decisions can affect published plans.
Appling County Board of Education office in Baxley
The district’s main contact information appears consistently across Appling County School System pages. The central office is the logical starting point when you have a district-wide issue or do not know which department should handle it.
Before you drive to the office: call first if your task involves a form, appointment or specific employee. The district website confirms the address and main number but does not present one universal walk-in schedule for every department.
Where to check Appling County Board of Education meetings
Appling County Schools maintains a dedicated Board Meeting Dates page with the approved 2026 meeting-date document. The School Board section also links governance material such as board protocol, chain of command, organizational information, ethics, policies, budget resources and training information.
Because the meeting schedule is published as an official district document and can be revised, this guide does not recreate dates that could not be independently read from the current file. Open the district’s own meeting-date page when you need a date for attendance or public participation.
Open School Board
Start in the district’s School Board section so you stay inside the official Appling County Schools website.
Open Board Meeting Dates
Use the approved 2026 meeting-date document instead of a calendar screenshot or an older school-year file.
Check supporting board material
If your task is about policy, ethics, governance or financial review, use the matching board link instead of treating the meeting calendar as the complete record.
Recheck before attending
Confirm the current official posting close to the meeting date in case a time, place or meeting type changes.
Appling County schools and phone numbers
Current district family-engagement information says all six Appling County schools participate as Title I schools. For attendance, classroom questions, pickup, campus events or student-specific help, the school is usually a better first call than the central BOE office.
| School | Phone | Local contact use |
|---|---|---|
| Appling County Primary School | 912-367-8642 | Primary-school office, Pre-K and early-grade campus questions. |
| Appling County Elementary School | 912-367-8640 | Elementary attendance, school notices and campus help. |
| Altamaha Elementary School | 912-367-3713 | Altamaha student and family questions. |
| Fourth District Elementary School | 912-367-3250 | Surrency-area elementary campus questions. |
| Appling County Middle School | 912-367-8630 | Middle-school schedules, attendance and campus support. |
| Appling County High School | 912-367-8610 | High-school office, guidance, enrollment/withdrawal direction and student services. |
Useful distinction: a current district Title I page lists all six schools. Another district Title IA directory lists five campuses and leaves out the Primary School, so this guide uses the newer six-school family-engagement listing and verifies the Primary School separately through its own official site.
Registration, Pre-K and intradistrict transfers in Appling County
Student enrollment information is available through Student Services, while Pre-K has a separate district department and registration route. Families looking to move a student from the assigned school to another Appling County school should also know about the district’s intradistrict-transfer process.
Student enrollment
The Student Services page includes a Student Enrollment route along with home-school, driver’s-license, hospital-homebound, bullying and related student-service information.
Pre-K
The district has a separate Prekindergarten department and links Georgia Pre-K information. Use the district’s current registration materials rather than a prior-year checklist.
Intradistrict transfer
The district publishes 2026–27 English and Spanish intradistrict letters and transfer-request forms.
Transfer detail that matters: the district says a parent may request another school within the system when classroom space is available after assigned students are enrolled. If the transfer is approved under this local option, the parent is responsible for transportation to and from that school.
Appling County school transportation for 2026–27
The district’s 2026–27 transportation update says the bus-ridership discipline rules were revised for the new school year. Families should review the current rules with students rather than relying on a previous year’s transportation handbook.
What changed
The district describes a tiered consequence system for repeated or serious bus-rule violations. Consequences may progress from warnings and parent conferences to temporary or, for severe cases, longer suspension of transportation privileges.
Unsafe behavior
The current transportation notice specifically identifies fighting, bullying, vandalism and tampering with safety equipment as behavior that can trigger immediate disciplinary action.
Student expectations
Students are expected to remain seated, use respectful language and follow the bus driver’s directions.
Parent acknowledgement
The district says families should look for the bus-ridership form during the first week of school, review it, sign it and return it to the bus driver.
Use the official page for current bus rules, acknowledgement forms, transportation employment information and department updates.
Appling County Board of Education jobs and Human Resources
The Human Resources section links current Employment Opportunities plus teacher-certification resources, GaPSC, GACE, paraprofessional information, TeachGA, ESS jobs and employee resources. That makes HR a much better job-search starting point than the School Board page.
Looking for a job?
Open Employment Opportunities from the official HR page and use the current application route. Do not assume an old search-result posting is still open.
Need HR help?
The district says the Human Resources Department can be reached through the main Board of Education number at 912-367-8600 and lists HR email contacts on the official page.
Current employee detail: the HR page also provides the FY27 employee handbook, required compliance-training information, workers’ compensation forms and YOSS access.
Open records are not the same as student records
Appling County Schools places its Open Records Request Form under Financial Services. That is useful for qualifying public district records, but it should not be confused with transcripts, enrollment files, special-education records or other student-specific information.
Public district records
Use Financial Services for the district’s Open Records Request Form and public financial information such as budget reports and tax-digest material.
Private student information
For transcripts, attendance, enrollment or student-specific documents, contact the student’s school or the appropriate district student-services route. Do not put private student details into a general public-record request.
Privacy reminder: avoid sending medical information, disability records, discipline details, Social Security numbers, passwords or other sensitive student data to unofficial websites.
Title I family engagement and district support
Appling County Schools says all six district schools are Title I schools and provides Parent and Family Engagement coordinators at the school level. The district also runs a spring family-engagement survey and publishes English and Spanish parent resources.
Family engagement
Families can use district and school coordinators for help understanding Title I family involvement and related resources.
English & Spanish resources
The district publishes FY27 parent/family engagement policies and newsletters in both English and Spanish.
Spring feedback
The district says its family-engagement survey is normally opened during the spring semester to help shape future programs and activities.
Quick fixes for Appling County school searches
“I found two calendars.”
Check the school year. Use the revised 2026–27 district page for FY27 planning and the live ACS Calendar for current events.
“I need today’s school event.”
Use the live ACS Calendar rather than trying to read the entire school year from a PDF.
“I need my child’s teacher or attendance office.”
Call the student’s school. The central BOE office is not the fastest route for campus-level questions.
“I need another school in the same district.”
Check the 2026–27 intradistrict-transfer materials. Approval depends on available classroom space, and transportation may become the parent’s responsibility.
“I’m searching for a Board job.”
Use Human Resources and Employment Opportunities rather than the board-meeting page.
“I need records.”
Use Open Records for public district records. Use the school or student-services route for student-specific records.
Use these district pages first

Best way to use this Appling County school guide
Use the district calendar when you need school-year planning, the live ACS calendar when you need a current event, the School Board area when you need board governance or meeting information, and the individual school when the question is about a student’s daily school experience.
For enrollment, intradistrict transfers, transportation, Human Resources and open records, go directly to the matching department. That keeps you from sending documents to the wrong office or relying on an old calendar or search-result snippet.
Independent guide: BoardofEducations.org is not Appling County School System, the Appling County Board of Education, Appling County government or the Georgia Department of Education. Current official district information controls if anything here differs from a live Appling County Schools posting.
