Beaufort County schools will have eLearning and remote work days Wednesday and Thursday due to Hurricane Idalia, according to the district. Extracurricular activities are canceled and buildings will be closed on both days.
Teachers should provide students information about eLearning. If families are traveling or have power outages the district recommends they reach out to teachers once possible so they can made accommodations.
