In response to safety and operational concerns surrounding the upcoming total solar eclipse, Athens ISD will close all campuses on Monday, April 8. After careful consideration, this decision is being made to ensure the well-being of our students and staff. All students and staff will receive eclipse glasses on April 4, courtesy of the Rotary Club. No make-up day will be required, as sufficient instructional time is built into our academic calendar. We appreciate your understanding as we prioritize safety.
