Based on the latest weather updates from the National Weather Service and after communication with our local Emergency Management Agency, Tift County Schools has made the decision that all schools will be in session on Tuesday January 21st, but will release 1 hour early. So, elementary schools will dismiss students at 1:45pm and middle and high schools will dismiss at 2:30pm.
This decision is based on the current forecast that the temperatures will drop to freezing between 5 and 6pm on Tuesday evening creating icy conditions on our roads. The hour early dismissal ensures all students, staff, and drivers can be off the roads before the freezing temperatures occur.
Additionally, all afterschool activities for Tuesday will be canceled to include practices.
Throughout the afternoon and evening on Tuesday, we will continue to monitor the weather as well as road conditions to inform our decisions regarding school on Wednesday.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to ensure the safety of our entire school community. Stay warm and safe!
We are closely monitoring the weather situation and will make a decision regarding school tomorrow following the National Weather Service briefing early this afternoon. We will share information as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience. #4theT
Due to the potential for weather days, Omega Elementary School is being proactive by sending all 3rd-5th grade students home with their Chromebooks. Here are some tips on how to help your student take care of their device while they're home. We're always looking for ways to help make them more responsible! Please keep an eye on Tift County social media and/or the Tift County Schools website [www.tiftschools.com] for updates on potential school closures or delays and help our students remember that when we return to school please bring both their Chromebook and their charger!
El medio meteorológico predice que una tormenta invernal con potencial de hielo puede impactar Tifton el Martes-Jueves de la próxima semana. Hoy, enviaremos Chromebooks a casa con todos los estudiantes de 3º a 12º grado en caso de un evento climático que justifique el cierre de la escuela la próxima semana. Los maestros de 3º a 12º grado proporcionarán tareas en el Google Classroom de su hijo que tendrían que completarse si el sistema está cerrado debido al clima.
Para los estudiantes de Pre-K a segundo grado, los libros de trabajo y los paquetes de trabajo se enviarán a casa con los estudiantes hoy en caso de que un evento climático justifique un día de aprendizaje independiente para los estudiantes. Si no tenemos un evento climático, los padres pueden utilizar estos paquetes con los estudiantes para practicar extra durante la semana.
Además, hemos poblado el sitio web de nuestro distrito con enlaces a recursos adicionales que se pueden utilizar con los estudiantes para reforzar los estándares del nivel de grado. Estos enlaces se encuentran dentro de la parte Para Padres del sitio web de las Escuelas del Condado de Tift.
Www.tiftschools.com El sitio web se puede traducir haciendo clic en la palabra TRANSLATE en la esquina superior derecha. Entonces se puede seleccionar el idioma necesario.
Consulte el sitio web del distrito, nuestras páginas de redes sociales y su correo electrónico para obtener información sobre cualquier retraso o cierre de escuelas que pueda ser necesario. Si no se anuncia un día independiente de aprendizaje en línea asegúrese de que los estudiantes traigan sus Chromebooks a la escuela la próxima semana cuando regresen a clases.
Como recordatorio, para la seguridad de los estudiantes, los Chromebooks para estudiantes de nivel de escuela primaria se apagaran durante las horas siguientes 9:00 p.m a 7:00 a.m , durante este tiempo no podrán acceder a nada en su dispositivo. Ayude a su hijo a proteger y cuidar su Chromebook mientras esté en su poder.
Manténgase seguro y abrigado y le enviaremos información tan pronto como esté disponible para nosotros. #4theT
