Taylor County Schools Invest in Professional Learning
Today, Taylor County Schools staff and teachers engaged in meaningful professional learning centered on building strong relationships, empowering students, and implementing effective strategies to support diverse learner needs.
We're proud to continue growing together to ensure every student feels seen, supported, and equipped to succeed.

Today marks the first Math Monday!
We encourage all families to watch this short video on making sense of math and persevering to solve problems. It’s designed to support you in guiding your child when wrestling with challenging math — because sticking with a problem is where real growth happens.

Today, our students had the opportunity to sign up for their Explore 360 course! We’re so excited to launch this once-a-month exploration program that allows students to discover new interests and learn beyond the classroom. On Explore 360 days, we’ll run a special one-hour event schedule so students can dive into activities led by their teachers. Clubs and courses are grouped by grade level and include a wide variety of options — from cooking, farming, animal dissection, legal debates, and history club to guitar lessons, arts and crafts, painting, and small gym games. 🎨🎸⚖️🌾 We can’t wait to see what our students create, discover, and explore this year!

Slushies will be sold tomorrow, Thursday, Oct 8. $1.00

🎃 7th Grade Math Escape Room Success! 🧩 On Monday, Ms. Andrews’ 7th-grade math classes took on the Operations with Integers Escape Room challenge! Students worked in teams to solve puzzles, crack codes, and “escape” before the witch could toss them into her cauldron. 🧙‍♀️ For the first time ever, every single team escaped successfully — proving their math skills (and teamwork!) are stronger than ever. 💪🧠 Way to go, Knights! ⚔️🔥

Congratulations to Micah Morris. He is being recognized for going out of his way to help several students and for being a true "Knight Team Player" Way to go Micah!

Check out this event put on by our community in schools.

Sports Update! ❤️🖤

On Friday, Ms. Andrews class played spoons, a game that teaches Math focusing on Integers. The students absolutely loved it and it was so competitive but educational at the same time. Thank you Ms. Andrews for all that you do for the students.

Congratulations to Mrs. Shafferman and Mr. Cathell for receiving the Decree of the Crown Freedom Award. This award was provided to them for perfect attendance. In order to give them a break they deserved, the admin took over their class and gave them a period to catch up on work or leave before the final bell . Thank you for all that you do!

TCMS has the best custodial crew! We love and appreciate all the hard work they put in to keeping our school clean and running smoothly! We can’t thank you enough! ❤️🖤
