Dr. Shumate shared a Spring Break Message with our community. Here is a translation of the audio in Spanish - Dr. Shumate's Spring Break Message

Governor Brian Kemp just issued an Executive Order mandating all schools in Georgia will remain closed for in-person instruction for the remainder of the school year. This includes TCSS.
 

Please note that current grade calculations will be based upon student mastery of material covered through March 12, 2020 which was the end of the third nine weeks grading period. Student learning will continue after our scheduled Spring Break. We don’t want our kids to lose the valuable knowledge and skills they have gained this school year. Teachers will be contacting their students and working with them to ensure additional opportunities are available for students to demonstrate mastery of previously covered material. More details will be available the week of April 13th.
 

At this time, we do not have any further updates. We know there are academic milestones and other events that our students and families were looking forward to this year. As updates are available, we will share them. 
 

Over the past several weeks, our commitment to the students and the families of TCSS has been paramount. We will continue this commitment through the closure. Together, we will all get through this.
 

Troup County School System is now in Phase II of providing curriculum materials for our students. In addition to what your child’s teacher may have provided, students can now download and print grade-level curriculum materials using this link.
 

Printed packets are also available for pick up this week during meal distribution times. The packets will be available at school locations serving meals and along the bus routes with meal delivery services.
