Our Community in Schools Site Coordinators are participating in the 2024 CIS Student Supports Institute. They are gathering resources and information that will support our students and families.
Dear Parents and/or Guardians,
As we prepare for the forthcoming school year, I wanted to clarify that, while you may feel inclined to donate items for your child’s school and or classroom, please know that this is not a requirement of any student or his or her family.
Any lists of “School Supplies” that you may see or hear about should be interpreted as helpful information about the kinds of items that are typically found useful within particular grade levels during the routine operations throughout the school year.
Therefore, please know that “Recommended, yet Not Required” would be the best way to interpret those messages/signs, etc., appearing on social media sites and through other means.
We understand, and appreciate that you, our citizens of Taylor County, are already contributing to our school system in several ways through your continued support and passage of our Excess Levies that include line items for such things as School Supplies.
I hope this information is helpful.
Sincerely,
Dr. John E. Stallings, Jr.
Superintendent
