Neicy Tompkins, Katie Wisham, and Sherri Coarsey led a session on HMH Waggle & Personalized Path, part of our HMH Into Math resource, strengthening our ability to support personalized learning for students. Ginger Harn and Emily Head guided participants through what to expect on the Georgia Milestones assessment for grades 3–5, equipping our teams with valuable insight and clarity.
We also had the opportunity to observe two of our K–12 coaches during a live coaching cycle, allowing us to reflect, refine, and grow in our own coaching practice.
We are grateful for the leadership, collaboration, and commitment to excellence shown by these incredible educators. Tift County Schools is stronger because of you!

Yesterday, our Staff and Student Advisory Councils met and had a great opportunity to provide feedback in two exciting ways. First, they taste-tested a new Pork Quesadilla, prepared by Chef Lo, that will be hitting cafeteria menus in March — and it was a big hit!
They also got an inside look at progress on our new middle school, reviewing exterior brick and metal selections along with interior flooring and carpet options. Their voice and perspective play an important role as we plan spaces and experiences our students.
We appreciate these staff and student leaders for sharing their time, ideas, and enthusiasm as we continue to Collaborate, Learn & Achieve! #4theT
