After consulting with the Emergency Management Agency and other local authorities, Tift County Schools will be closed tomorrow, Monday, March 16, 2026, due to the potential for severe weather. A strong storm system is projected to arrive in our area around 5:00AM and is expected to be cleared out of the area around noon.
The current forecast calls for widespread damaging winds with gusts of 60–70 mph, along with the possibility of tornadoes and large hail. Temperatures will drop significantly after the front moves through, so families should plan for freezing temperatures on Tuesday morning and ensure students are dressed appropriately.
The safety of our students and staff is our highest priority. Therefore, all schools will be closed and all athletic and extracurricular activities are canceled for Monday, March 16, 2026.
We encourage everyone to stay weather aware and take necessary precautions. Any additional updates will be shared through the district’s communication channels.

Mrs. J Drawdy's first graders have been busy becoming young entrepreneurs! Students worked together to create their own businesses while applying what they have learned about Economics. Students also participated in Market Day, where they shared their businesses with classmates and experienced buying and selling as both producers and consumers. We have some very creative business owners in the making! 💡
