Back to School Toolkit
Welcome to Bulloch County Schools. We are happy to partner with you to guide your child to academic and career success and in doing so, enhance the value of our community.
This Back to School Toolkit provides information and resources you may need for a new or returning student and your family. If you need additional information, please contact your school or the school district's at 912-212-8500.
Back to School Reminders
- Register new students for school
- Returning students: Update your child's information: Login to your Campus Parent Portal to update your child's information. All parents of returning students are required to do this each new school year. Instructions are available via the link above.
School Supplies
- Each elementary and high school will provide its suggested school supply lists to families via Facebook, its website, at Open House and the first day of school. High schools do not issue school supply lists because supplies are course specific. High school students will receive information about any needed supplies when they visit their teachers at Open House or on the first day of school.
- Various faith-based and civic organizations host back-to-school events at which they make school supplies available to children in need.
- If you need assistance, speak with a school social worker or school counselor.
Transportation Services
If you have school bus questions or concerns, we encourage you to use our Transportation Help Desk.
