Good Evening,
Please be aware that it appears that our state is currently experiencing an increase of Covid-related cases. As a result, we have received the following information from the State Department of Education:
"When student or staff tests positive for COVID-19:
» Students and staff who test positive for COVID-19, should stay home for at least 5 days and isolate from others.
» Students are not allowed to participate in extracurricular activities while in isolation and potentially infectious.
» Day 0 is the first day of symptoms or day tested if asymptomatic.
» Students and staff may return to school if they:
› Stayed home and isolated for at least 5 full days
› Are fever free for 24 hours (without the use of fever reducing medications)
› Have symptoms that are improving
» It is recommended that a mask be worn days 6-10.

Thank you for adhering to the aforementioned response to Covid-related illnesses, as doing so protects all of us.

September is childhood cancer awareness month. We have had several local families that have been impacted by this terrible disease. One local family has partnered with Alex’s Lemonade Stand and asked us to join them in a million mile challenge. Alex’s lemonade stand is asking that people walk and track their mileage in hopes that everyone participating in the challenge will reach 1 million miles together.
We have registered TCMS to participate in this challenge, every Friday students during homeroom time will go to the track and will walk at least one mile.
As a bonus, for every 47 students registered, Volvo will donate $47 to Alex’s lemonade stand. This money will be used to fund childhood cancer research. With everyone in the school participating, Volvo will donate over $600 in TCMS’s name. On the last Friday of September, we will have a day of giving and students can bring in money and give to their 1st period teacher. All monies collected will be donated to Alex's Lemonade Stand in honor of Gavin Morris.
Don't forget tomorrow is popcorn day! Bring a dollar!

Our boys XC team with a 1st place victory at Bridgeport, football team with a 40-0 win over Mountaineer Middle, volleyball team won over Notre Dame and tonight our boys soccer team defeated West Fairmont Middle 2-0.
This is a reminder that tomorrow, September 1, 2023, is a Curriculum Development Day for all Taylor County Schools Staff. Students do not attend. All staff, including staff at the central board of education office, will be attending mandatory trainings and may not be able to answer phone calls throughout the day. Please leave a message if you need to contact the schools, and someone will return your call. Thank you.
We are working to improve the parent drop off process, please pull up and utilize the 4 car drop off approach. We ask that you use the same 4 car method during parent pick up. This will alleviate students crossing through the parking lot. Our student safety is our number one priority. Please be patient as we continue to work through this process.
