Attendance is more than just being present—it’s the foundation for student success. Every school day gives students the opportunity to learn, build relationships, develop confidence, and prepare for their future. Missing just two days each month can quickly add up and impact academic achievement.
Together, let's encourage our students to show up, be engaged, and make every minute count. Every day. Every class. Every opportunity.

Georgia Reads Week - Friday
Every family and community has a story worth sharing.

Celebrate Share a Story Thursday with a favorite book, family memory, childhood adventure or story about someone who inspired you. Stories help children learn about the people and places around them while connecting generations and communities.

Ask someone today: “What’s a story you love to share?”

Georgia Reads Week - Thursday
Turn up the music and build language through song.

For Sing Together Wednesday, share a favorite song, nursery rhyme or silly tune with a child. Singing helps children hear and play with sounds, words and rhythm—and makes literacy part of an everyday moment.

No perfect voice required. Just sing, smile and enjoy the moment together.

Georgia Reads Week - Wednesday
Every conversation is a literacy moment.

Celebrate Talk Together Tuesday by starting a conversation with a child. Ask about their day, listen to their ideas and encourage them to tell you more. Every question, answer and shared laugh helps build language, vocabulary and connection.

Try asking: “What was your favorite part of your day?”

Talk More. Sing More. Read More.

Your voice is one of your child’s most powerful learning tools. Talking through everyday moments, singing favorite songs and reading together help newborns and young children build language, strengthen connections and develop skills that support lifelong learning.

Healthcare providers, caregivers and families all play an important role. Start early, make it part of every day and remember: every word makes a difference.

Our students made Tifton proud today as they welcomed members of Leadership Georgia to our community!

The Blue Devil Brigade and TCHS cheerleaders greeted the visitors with energy and enthusiasm as they arrived at Tifton City Hall, and members of the TCHS Chorus shared their talents with the group in the courtyard.

We are incredibly proud of the way these students represented, not just Tift County High School and Tift County Schools but our entire community. Their talent, school spirit and warm hospitality showed our guests what it means to be a Blue Devil!

A heartfelt thank you to Kathy Kerst for delivering a generous donation to Tift County Schools on behalf of an anonymous donor who wanted to make a difference for children in need.

More than 1,000 individual bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash, along with bars of soap, were donated to help support our students.

We are deeply grateful for this act of kindness. Supporting our children takes all of us—our schools, families and community—working together to ensure every student has what they need to feel cared for, confident and ready to learn. When our community comes together, our students are stronger because of it.

Thank you to Kathy and this generous donor for showing our students that their community cares! 💙
