STUDENTS: REMEMBER TO CHARGE YOUR
CHROMEBOOK EVERY NIGHT AND HAVE IT WITH YOU
AT SCHOOL EVERY DAY!! Showing up for class
without the Chromebook is like coming to class
without pen, pencil, paper and textbook.
Students should check their tiftschools email DAILY!
A survey has been sent via Infinite Campus to all students,
households and faculty/staff in grades 8 – 11 (ESMS, NEC, TCHS).
Please take a moment to respond to the 3 question survey. Your
answers are anonymous. The link is active until January 19, 2018
and once you submit your response, the link will become inactive.
This allows only one response from each individual completing the
survey. Access is only available through your Infinite Campus
portal. Thank you in advance for providing your input and for
supporting your student(s) enrolled in Tift County Schools.

the student survey and contains 24 questions. Parents may
complete the survey using their personal computer, smartphone or tablet. For parents
that do not have access to the Internet, you are welcome to complete the Georgia
Parent Survey at school. All parents are encouraged to participate in the Georgia
Parent Survey because the data will be used as part of the calculation of the School
Climate Star Rating. Survey responses are anonymous and will be submitted directly
to the Georgia Department of Education for analysis. The Georgia Parent Survey is
also available in Spanish. Parents may select the Spanish version within the survey.

Fri,3/30/18 – Deadline to submit Community Service Hours –
Students might want to be filling out the log sheet to see if they
are close to the hours needed for the Community Service Cord.
Doing this will allow them to know how many hours they still need
to earn and the amount of time they have to earn those hours. Students can pick up
log sheets in the Guidance Office and can also be printed from the TCHS tiftschools
website from Student links.
