Based on the latest weather updates from the National Weather Service and after communication with our local Emergency Management Agency, Tift County Schools has made the decision that all schools will be in session on Tuesday January 21st, but will release 1 hour early. So, elementary schools will dismiss students at 1:45pm and middle and high schools will dismiss at 2:30pm.
This decision is based on the current forecast that the temperatures will drop to freezing between 5 and 6pm on Tuesday evening creating icy conditions on our roads. The hour early dismissal ensures all students, staff, and drivers can be off the roads before the freezing temperatures occur.
Additionally, all afterschool activities for Tuesday will be canceled to include practices.
Throughout the afternoon and evening on Tuesday, we will continue to monitor the weather as well as road conditions to inform our decisions regarding school on Wednesday.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to ensure the safety of our entire school community. Stay warm and safe!
We are closely monitoring the weather situation and will make a decision regarding school tomorrow following the National Weather Service briefing early this afternoon. We will share information as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience. #4theT
