Year End Synopsis
The Tift County Schools (TCS) Advisement Manual, included in this year’s Parent and Student Handbook, serves as a comprehensive guide for families from Pre-K through Grade 12.

This manual is designed to help parents and students make informed decisions throughout the academic journey. It provides essential tools, information, and resources that empower families to support each student’s academic, social, and emotional growth—from early childhood all the way through high school graduation.

By combining expectations, policies, and planning resources, the Advisement Manual ensures that every student in Tift County Schools has the support needed to collaborate, learn, and achieve success.

📚 August PLC Spotlight 📚

This month, our PLC with principals and district leaders focused on the importance of effective communication. Communication is more than just sharing information—it’s also about how we listen and receive feedback.

As educators, being effective communicators is a vital part of building strong relationships, fostering collaboration, and ensuring success for ALL of our students.
