These incredible HOSA members took the State Qualifying Test, and passed with flying colors to advance to the HOSA State Competition! 🩺✨

This past weekend, all four Tift County show choirs competed at the Capital City Classic in Montgomery, AL, and the success was nothing short of incredible! While the results for our middle school choir, One Voice, weren’t what we’d hoped for, the hard work, dedication, and teamwork they showed is something to celebrate!
At the high school level, our Men's show choir, Tiftosterone, made a clean sweep, winning Best Vocals, Best Visual Performance and Best Show Design and 1st place overall in the Men's division. Our Women's show choir, Ladies' Choice, had an exceptional weekend taking home Best Visual Performance, Best Show Design and 1st place overall in the Women's division. And finally, our Mixed show choir, Eighth Street Singing Company, earned Best Vocals and 2nd place overall in their division. We are incredibly proud of each of these talented groups for their hard work and outstanding success this weekend! #4theT

El medio meteorológico predice que una tormenta invernal con potencial de hielo puede impactar Tifton el Martes-Jueves de la próxima semana. Hoy, enviaremos Chromebooks a casa con todos los estudiantes de 3º a 12º grado en caso de un evento climático que justifique el cierre de la escuela la próxima semana. Los maestros de 3º a 12º grado proporcionarán tareas en el Google Classroom de su hijo que tendrían que completarse si el sistema está cerrado debido al clima.
Para los estudiantes de Pre-K a segundo grado, los libros de trabajo y los paquetes de trabajo se enviarán a casa con los estudiantes hoy en caso de que un evento climático justifique un día de aprendizaje independiente para los estudiantes. Si no tenemos un evento climático, los padres pueden utilizar estos paquetes con los estudiantes para practicar extra durante la semana.
Además, hemos poblado el sitio web de nuestro distrito con enlaces a recursos adicionales que se pueden utilizar con los estudiantes para reforzar los estándares del nivel de grado. Estos enlaces se encuentran dentro de la parte Para Padres del sitio web de las Escuelas del Condado de Tift.
Www.tiftschools.com El sitio web se puede traducir haciendo clic en la palabra TRANSLATE en la esquina superior derecha. Entonces se puede seleccionar el idioma necesario.
Consulte el sitio web del distrito, nuestras páginas de redes sociales y su correo electrónico para obtener información sobre cualquier retraso o cierre de escuelas que pueda ser necesario. Si no se anuncia un día independiente de aprendizaje en línea asegúrese de que los estudiantes traigan sus Chromebooks a la escuela la próxima semana cuando regresen a clases.
Como recordatorio, para la seguridad de los estudiantes, los Chromebooks para estudiantes de nivel de escuela primaria se apagaran durante las horas siguientes 9:00 p.m a 7:00 a.m , durante este tiempo no podrán acceder a nada en su dispositivo. Ayude a su hijo a proteger y cuidar su Chromebook mientras esté en su poder.
Manténgase seguro y abrigado y le enviaremos información tan pronto como esté disponible para nosotros. #4theT
