Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,

As we approach the beginning of the 2021-2022 school year, I would like to thank each of you for your support and patience throughout the last school year. We are planning to return to a more traditional school environment. However, we will be prepared to respond to any new developments that occur. We will continue to consider the guidance from the Georgia Department of Education, Georgia Department of Public Health, Centers for Disease Control, Georgia High School Association, Governor’s Office, Taylor County Health Department and local health officials in the event of any health concerns that arise related to COVID-19.

The Taylor County School District plans to only utilize in-person instruction for your children during the 2021-2022 school year. We will continue to follow some of the health and safety procedures and strategies that were in place last year, and we have plans to make improvements to HVAC systems and water fountains to provide a healthier environment. Additionally, we are enhancing our intervention programs to address academic needs that have been exacerbated as a result of COVID-19. Click on the link below for a detailed explanation of the 2021-2022 school year health and safety procedures and strategies and new initiatives.

Information for Parent Pickup of Students:

Primary School – We will continue to allow cars to line up in two lanes up to a certain marked point. These two lanes will become a single lane as stops are made to pick up students.

Upper Elementary School – Cars will line up in a single lane up to a certain marked point. At dismissal, cars will be allowed to pull forward while remaining in the single lane as stops are made to pick up students.

Middle School/High School – The parent pick-up area by the Board of Education office will be for sixth grade and seventh grade students. Eighth grade – twelfth grade students will be picked up at the Auditorium parking area. If you are picking up students from multiple grade levels at the middle/high school campus, please park in the area of the student in the lowest grade level. You will pick up all of your students in that one area.
