Tomorrow (Wednesday, September 30th) is picture day! Come dressed in your best and with your smiles!

The Tift County Homecoming 2026 celebration is next week! PreK-5th grades will have dress up days Wednesday - Friday (October 7-9)! See the flyer below for dress up day information!

Attendance is more than just being present—it’s the foundation for student success. Every school day gives students the opportunity to learn, build relationships, develop confidence, and prepare for their future. Missing just two days each month can quickly add up and impact academic achievement.
Together, let's encourage our students to show up, be engaged, and make every minute count. Every day. Every class. Every opportunity.
