Thank you to everyone who came out for the 5th grade meet and greet. It was a true success with over 150 parents and students. We truly enjoyed meeting all of you and are looking forward to working with you during the school year.
Reminder tonight is the meet and greet session with school administration for all 5th graders and new students to our school.
Taylor County Schools would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to our incredible staff, students, families, and community partners for making the Back to School Bash such a tremendous success!
Your support and school spirit made the day one to remember. We are grateful for everyone who helped make this celebration possible and for the wonderful community that continues to support our students and schools.
We are excited to kick off another great school year together! Here’s to a year filled with learning, growth, connection, and success. 📚🍎
Positive additions continue to happen at TCMS on the hill. In addition to our sand volleyball court, four square courts, cornhole boards, basketball court, badminton net, foosball table, and ping-pong table, we are now adding an outdoor pool table and gaga ball pit. Great additions for our students!!!
Please see the procedure below for student pick up in the afternoon: If you are picking up your child in the afternoon, you will line up in the lower parking lot behind the school over the hill. Please see attached picture. The back drive will be closed off until 3:00. As you line up in the lower parking lot, please pull in and go to your right, and follow the arrows. Cars will line up in row 1. Once that row is filled, you will then start lining up in the next row. At 3:05, the first car will pull out and continue up the hill and start lining up in the back drive. We will have 3 cones along with sidewalk. The first 3 cars will line up with one of the cones. We will load 3 cars at a time and then the next 3 will pull up. No students can load early in the back of the line and no students can cut across traffic to get into the cars early. No students can be picked up along Spring Hills Road. No students can be picked up in the front parking lot. All students must be picked up in the back parking lot.
Please see the information below Morning Drop Off Procedure.
If you are dropping off your child in the morning, that will take place in the back parking lot only. No students can be dropped off in the front of the school. Doors will open at 7:15. We will have 3 cones along the sidewalk where 3 cars at a time will be unloading students. Once they pull away, the next 3 cars will be lining up with the cones and continue with the same process. No students are permitted to get out of their car on the far side of the back drive and walk across traffic to go into the school.
Your involvement matters! Join the LSIC committee and help us continue to make our school better. Our first meeting will be Sept 8th @ 4:00. Please send an email to Mrs. T if you would like to join us. We would love to have you as a part of our group! tracey.fluharty@k12.wv.us
