Important Taylor County Schools Calendar Update: To recover instructional time missed due to previous weather closures, April 17th, 2025, is now a Regular Instructional Day. We appreciate your understanding as this change is in response to a requirement that once a school system exceeds the maximum number of allowable inclement weather closures it must make necessary adjustments to its calendar to ensure as much instructional time occurs and is as beneficial to its students as possible.
Due to personal illness, the Healthy Grandfamilies evening session scheduled for 2/13/25 at the Mary Battle Studio will be canceled. Mrs. Thorn will reach out to you with a new date within the next week.
All Taylor County Schools will begin on a two-hour delay tomorrow, Wednesday, Feb. 12th, 2025.

February 1st kicked off "Love the Bus Month" which emphasizes the importance of school buses, viewing them not merely as vehicles but as essential elements woven into the fabric of education. By celebrating and honoring the yellow school bus and its drivers, we reinforce our commitment to nurturing safe and inclusive educational journeys for every student. In doing so, we ensure that this cherished tradition remains a cornerstone of our communities, driving forward with pride and purpose.
Message from the TCS Technology Department: This afternoon, we identified an issue with our district's student information system (WVEIS) not syncing properly with Rooms, primarily affecting Elementary School data. We are actively working with the company to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. Our goal is to restore syncing as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience and will provide updates once a solution is in place.
