We’ll cover important topics like the School Improvement Plan, attendance, grading, parent portal access, bullying prevention, and more. Let’s work together to support every student’s success at Eighth Street Middle School!


Our ESMS teachers are teaming up to make this year the best yet! From setting goals to sharing ideas, we’re focused on helping every student grow and succeed!


The purpose of the SSAC is to provide students with opportunities to serve as representatives of their schools and as a collective voice for the Tift County Schools student body.
Through their participation, students will:
• Share ideas and perspectives
• Provide input on various aspects of the student academic experience
• Gain a deeper understanding of how our school system operates
We look forward to the valuable contributions these student leaders will make during the upcoming school year.

Parents and Guardians,
Please help us ensure a safe and smooth start to each school day by following our morning car rider drop-off procedures.
✅ Drop-off begins at 7:45 AM and ends promptly at 8:20 AM
✅ Use the designated car rider area behind ESMS on 6th Street
✅ Students arriving after 8:20 AM must be dropped off at the front and checked in through the main office
Thank you for helping us start each day smoothly! We appreciate your support and look forward to a great year at ESMS!




To help ensure the safety of all students, car riders must be picked up through the designated car rider line at all schools. For safety reasons, students will not be allowed to walk to vehicles parked along the side of the road.
This safety measure is in place to reduce the risk of accidents and to keep students from navigating through traffic or other potentially dangerous situations.
We appreciate your support and cooperation in following these procedures. Let’s work together to keep our students safe!
