Good Evening,
Please be aware that it appears that our state is currently experiencing an increase of Covid-related cases. As a result, we have received the following information from the State Department of Education:
"When student or staff tests positive for COVID-19:
» Students and staff who test positive for COVID-19, should stay home for at least 5 days and isolate from others.
» Students are not allowed to participate in extracurricular activities while in isolation and potentially infectious.
» Day 0 is the first day of symptoms or day tested if asymptomatic.
» Students and staff may return to school if they:
› Stayed home and isolated for at least 5 full days
› Are fever free for 24 hours (without the use of fever reducing medications)
› Have symptoms that are improving
» It is recommended that a mask be worn days 6-10.
» Individuals who were severely ill or immunocompromised should stay home and isolate for 10 days."
Thank you for adhering to the aforementioned response to Covid-related illnesses, as doing so protects all of us.
Sincerely,
Dr. John E. Stallings, Jr., - Superintendent
This is a reminder that tomorrow, September 1, 2023, is a Curriculum Development Day for all Taylor County Schools Staff. Students do not attend. All staff, including staff at the central board of education office, will be attending mandatory trainings and may not be able to answer phone calls throughout the day. Please leave a message if you need to contact the schools, and someone will return your call. Thank you.
Drop off/pick up reminders: PK students and siblings get dropped off and picked up on the PK end of the building.
Kindergarten and siblings get dropped off at the cafeteria door and picked up on the east at the end of the day.
Other students remain as the last two days.
It's been a great first day with students! As a reminder to those picking up students at the school, please do not arrive prior to 2:55 as we do not have parking space to hold you and we don't want to block the flow of traffic on Route 50. Thanks!

Back to School Event!
Important Message from Taylor County Schools:
Starting Friday, August 25, 2023, the following procedural change will go into effect: All schools will open to receive student arrival no earlier than 7:15 a.m., as this will be the earliest that students will be allowed to enter any school building. Parents/guardians are asked to plan not to drop off students prior to this time and honor the bus lanes specifically for buses only and parent/guardian student drop off lanes. This change is being made to help minimize traffic congestion at all locations. We appreciate your cooperation. (This change will not affect school/class instructional start times at any location.)
