Busy weekday mornings can make it a challenge for many families to find time for a healthy breakfast. Fortunately, Irwin County Schools offers nutritious school breakfasts each day to ensure students are fueled and ready for learning.
We appreciate our School Nutrition team for the great work they do in providing healthy meals for our students each morning. We encourage all students to join us for breakfast during this special week of celebration!
Irwin County Schools will be closed Monday, March 16, 2026, due to the threat of severe weather. Please stay safe and continue to monitor local weather updates as the system moves through our area tomorrow morning.
The latest update we received included a squall line early Monday morning. Medium-large hail possible. 70 mph winds. A few tornadoes possible. Discreet cells ahead of the front could have large (ef2+) tornadoes and large hail. The tornadoes along the line will be brief. Again, please make sure you have a way to get weather alerts.
Our School Nutrition team works hard every day to provide nutritious and delicious breakfast options for our students, and we appreciate all they do to help our students start the day off right.
We encourage all students to join us for breakfast during this fun week of celebration!
