From Snow Day to Snowmen Coding!
Toombs County Schools Update: Toombs County Schools will reopen tomorrow, Friday, January 24. We look forward to seeing our students and providing them a safe, warm learning environment!
Important Update from Toombs County Schools: After consulting with the local Emergency Management Agency and the Toombs County Sheriff's Office, we have determined that hazardous road conditions caused by snowfall and persistent sub-freezing temperatures—leading to dangerous icing—make school travel unsafe. To prioritize the safety of our students, staff, and community, schools will remain closed on Thursday, January 23, 2025. The plan is to return to normal school operations on Friday, January 24, 2025. Our school transportation department will reach out to families of bus riders affected by impacted roads to ensure safe travel to school on Friday.
Our teachers are taking advantage of exposing our students to experiences like this concert by the GSU Trumpet Ensemble. We want our students to see how what they are learning goes beyond the classroom.
What a great visit with Office Sanders and Creed! We are thankful for the agencies who share information about their jobs with our students.
Another great example of building foundations for improved reading and writing skills from Ms. Stanley's students.
Join us on for TCMS Literacy Night on February 4th, 2025 (3:30-5:00)
Understanding sentence structure is the foundation for improving writing skills and reading skills. Ms. Balcazar's class is preparing for future success in and out of the classroom!
