Parents and Guardians,
Please help us ensure a safe and smooth start to each school day by following our morning car rider drop-off procedures.
✅ Drop-off begins at 7:45 AM and ends promptly at 8:20 AM
✅ Use the designated car rider area behind ESMS on 6th Street
✅ Students arriving after 8:20 AM must be dropped off at the front and checked in through the main office
Thank you for helping us start each day smoothly! We appreciate your support and look forward to a great year at ESMS!
To help ensure the safety of all students, car riders must be picked up through the designated car rider line at all schools. For safety reasons, students will not be allowed to walk to vehicles parked along the side of the road.
This safety measure is in place to reduce the risk of accidents and to keep students from navigating through traffic or other potentially dangerous situations.
We appreciate your support and cooperation in following these procedures. Let’s work together to keep our students safe!
Make sure you’ve downloaded our Tift Schools App to stay up-to-date with the latest district and school news, access Rooms for classroom updates, and easily message your student’s teachers.
Need to send a message to your student during the school day? You can do that too — all in one convenient place!
📲 Download today and stay in the loop all year long!

Thank you to all of the ESMS students and their parents for attending the Eighth Street Middle School Meet the Teacher Night.
It was so nice to see the faces of our ESMS students that we have missed over the summer, and we were so excited to see our new sixth graders who will now call ESMS their home for the next three years. The excitement of the students and the support that we felt from the parents was amazing.
Here’s to a wonderful school year!

📣 Reminder for New Families to Tift County Schools!
If you have a student who will be new to Tift County Schools and you have not yet registered, please make sure to complete registration no later than Wednesday, July 30th to ensure time for your child to be assigned a schedule:teacher prior to Meet the Teacher.
In order for our administrators to have time to meet with families during Meet the Teacher and welcome students back on Friday, any students who register after Wednesday will not be guaranteed to have a schedule or homeroom teacher assigned in time for Meet the Teacher on Thursday.

If you register after Wednesday, you are welcome to attend Meet the Teacher on Thursday, July 31st so you can meet all the teachers on the grade level. You just will not have a final schedule and final teacher assignments until the end of day on Friday.
