Is your child getting ready to eat school meals for the first time this school year? 🍎🥛
Summer is a great time to practice a few simple cafeteria skills at home to help build confidence before the first day of school. From opening milk cartons and food packages to carrying a tray and cleaning up after meals, these small activities can help make the transition to school a little easier.
Helping students feel prepared today leads to a successful start tomorrow!

📚 Congratulations to the participants in our final English class session of the 2025–2026 school year!
Tift County Schools is proud to offer free English classes for parents and community members throughout the school year at Eighth Street Middle School. These classes help build communication skills, confidence, and family engagement while strengthening connections between home, school, and community.
Last week, approximately 20 participants were recognized for their progress in learning English, with achievements ranging from basic language development to conversational proficiency. These accomplishments reflect the hard work and dedication of each participant as well as the commitment of our bilingual staff members who support our Migrant Education Program and ESOL students and families.
Because many participants are connected to migrant work, attendance may vary throughout the year as families enter and leave the program. We are grateful for every opportunity to support our families through meaningful learning experiences.
Congratulations to this year's participants! We look forward to welcoming everyone back when classes resume after summer break.

🍎📚 Nourishing Bodies and Minds This Summer! 📚🍎
Tift County School Nutrition is making a meaningful impact this summer by providing 2,500 meal bags to children across our community. Each bag contains seven breakfasts and seven lunches—enough to provide a child with nutritious meals for an entire week while school is out of session.
(Students attending summer school will also receive a 3-day meal bag at the end of each week to help bridge the gap between program days.)
In addition to healthy meals, age-appropriate books are being distributed to children, helping encourage literacy and a love of reading throughout the summer months.
A special thank you to our Parent Coordinators, TCHS Early Childhood Education (ECE) Pathway students, and Teaching & Learning administrative assistants for packing the books and making this initiative possible. Their dedication and teamwork ensure that our students have access to learning opportunities they need to thrive.
Together, these efforts demonstrate Tift County Schools' commitment to feeding both the bodies and minds of our students all summer long.
Upcoming Summer Feeding Dates: June 9th, 16th & 23rd
