📅 Wednesday, August 19
All students will have their picture taken for the 2026–2027 TCMS Yearbook, so come ready to smile!
Beginning Monday, August 17, TCMS will begin a NEW Morning Drop-Off Procedure to help improve traffic flow and reduce vehicles backing up on Bulldog Road.
🚗 If you drop off a student in the morning, please take a few minutes to review the NEW traffic flow map below before Monday.
We know any change takes a little time to get used to, so we appreciate everyone’s patience, cooperation, and attention to the new traffic pattern as we work to make morning arrival safer and more efficient for everyone.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: This change is for MORNING DROP-OFF ONLY. There are NO CHANGES to the afternoon car rider pick-up procedure.
Please share this information with anyone who may be responsible for dropping off your student in the mornings.
Be on the lookout for **two health forms being sent home with students** from our school nurse:
🦷 **Help A Child Smile** – School-based dental care
💉 **School Flu Shot Program** – Optional flu vaccination at school
**Participation in both programs is completely optional.** Forms only need to be completed and returned **if you would like your child to participate.**
📅 If participating, please complete the appropriate form and return it to school **by Monday, September 1.**
Please check with your student for these forms and review the information provided to decide if either opportunity is right for your family.
The 2026 Toombs County Cross Country schedule is here, and our Bulldogs are getting ready to hit the course! We’re excited to cheer on our TCMS runners as they compete throughout the season.
📅 First meet: Saturday, August 15
