Good Afternoon families,
We want to make you aware that due to the Dalton State Homecoming Parade taking place in downtown Dalton on Friday, February 20, the Dalton Public Schools After School Program (ASP) at City Park will not operate that afternoon.
The scheduled street closures connected to the parade will prevent us from running ASP as usual. As a result, ASP services will not be available on February 20.
We understand this change may require adjustments to your afternoon plans, and we sincerely appreciate your flexibility. Please make arrangements for your child to be picked up at regular dismissal time.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s school. We are always happy to help.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Dear Dalton Public Schools Families and Community,
To support the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and families, Dalton Public Schools will operate on a 2-hour delay on Tuesday, January 27, 2026.
Students will begin the school day two hours later than their normal start time, and school buses will also operate on a two-hour delay from their usual routes. We ask families to please be mindful of cold temperatures and ensure students are dressed appropriately. Bus routes may take slightly longer than usual as drivers use extra care to ensure safe transportation.
Students will have the option to receive a grab-and-go breakfast upon arrival Tuesday morning.
All afterschool activities will continue as normally scheduled.
Dalton Public Schools staff members should check their email for additional information regarding the delayed start.
As always, the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and families remain our top priority. Thank you for your continued understanding and support. Please stay safe and warm, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Tuesday, January 27.
Sincerely,
Dalton Public Schools Communications

Good afternoon, families,
This morning, Roan School and Blue Ridge briefly implemented a precautionary lockout due to nearby police activity unrelated to the schools. At the request of the Dalton Police Department, school staff secured the buildings and continued normal classroom activities while officers completed their work in the area.
At no point were students or staff in any danger. The lockout was taken out of an abundance of caution and was lifted once police activity concluded.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership as we work each day to support a safe learning environment for our students and staff.

To support a more focused, engaged, and distraction-free learning environment — and to comply with the new Georgia state law — personal devices (including cell phones and smart watches) will not be permitted during the school day for Dalton Public Schools students in grades K–8.
Because we do not have a way to store personal devices at school, we kindly ask that all devices remain at home or in the student’s book bag during the school day.
Families can still reach students and staff by
• 📞calling the front office,
• ✉️ emailing the teacher or school, or
• 💬sending a message through the Dalton Public Schools app.
These methods ensure clear, consistent communication while helping keep classrooms centered on learning. Thank you for partnering with us to create a positive, distraction-free school experience for all students!

Como no tenemos una forma de almacenar dispositivos personales en la escuela, amablemente pedimos que todos los dispositivos permanezcan en casa o en la mochila del estudiante durante el día escolar.

• ✉️enviando un correo electrónico al maestro o a la escuela, o
• 💬enviando un mensaje a través de la aplicación de Dalton Public Schools.
