Good Morning, Parents/Guardians of Taylor County,
This message is as much an announcement and reminder as it is an appeal for your assistance as we continue to focus attention on safety.
In the past few weeks, it has been noticed that an increasing number of Elementary and Middle School age students are being dropped off to attend activities and events sponsored by the school system without parents or chaperones.
While we encourage any/all individuals to join our sponsored opportunities, it is essential that we ensure that they are as safe as possible. Doing so requires the cooperation of all of us and includes proper chaperone supervision and careful vehicular traffic as well.
In an attempt to prevent any injury to any of our attendees of activities and events, ensure that those younger individuals are supervised. Please see the Parents and Students section of our Taylor County Schools Website if you would like to review TCBOE POLICY 5855 - STUDENT ACCESS AT SCHOOL EVENTS.
In addition, beginning with this evening's GHS Homecoming event, you will also note a return to parking restrictions near/along certain areas of the more frequented foot traffic locations.
Thank you in advance for your assistance with this very important need.
With Sincerest Best Regards,
Dr. John E. Stallings, Jr.,
Superintendent

Each student received their very own copy of The Dot to enjoy and take home. Throughout the day, students participated in activities centered around the message of the book—being creative, making your mark, and believing in what you can create! ❤️
One of our favorite activities was creating a hallway display! Every student was given a sheet of paper with the same dot and challenged to turn that dot into their own unique creation. It was amazing to see how differently our students interpreted the exact same starting point. 🎨🔵
And the Dot Day fun continued today in the FES Library, where students continued exploring creativity and celebrating their own unique ideas!
We love seeing our Wildcat students Focus, Engage, and Succeed while discovering that even one little dot can become something extraordinary! 🐾💙
🇺🇸 **Remembering September 11, 2001**
Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the courage of the first responders, service members, and countless individuals who answered the call to help. Twenty-five years later, we remember not only the tragedy, but also the strength, compassion, and unity that emerged in its aftermath.
May we continue to teach our students the importance of kindness, courage, service, and coming together to support one another.
**We remember. We honor. We will never forget.** 🇺🇸
