The U.S. Department of Education is beta testing the 2026–2027 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form before it goes live to the public by October 1. Through the month of September, any student can request to participate online. Students who are invited to participate will receive an email notification and can complete and submit the 2026–2027 FAFSA form. This is an excellent opportunity for students and families to complete their FAFSA form ahead of schedule and move one step closer to accessing federal student aid.

🚨 Our System Security Officers, in partnership with the Tift County Sheriff’s Office, have developed a new video for students and parents on gang awareness and violence prevention.

This month's video covers:
🔹 What gangs are and why kids may feel pressured to join them
🔹 How to recognize and avoid gang involvement
🔹 What violence is, the warning signs, and healthy ways to resolve conflict
🔹 The serious consequences of violent behavior

To keep students engaged and aware, the video also launches a monthly safety challenge designed to encourage positive choices and safe behaviors.

📜 On September 17, 1787, delegates signed the U.S. Constitution — our nation’s foundational document of freedom and democracy.

🇺🇸 To commemorate Constitution Day, State School Superintendent Richard Woods, along with State Representative Jaclyn Ford, visited three of our elementary schools this week and delivered copies of the Constitution to 4th grade students. What a powerful way to connect our students to history and citizenship!
