The “Absence Note for Tift County Schools” form is used to document a student’s absence from school (it is the same as a hand written note). The school can accept up to three handwritten notes per nine weeks; however, a doctor’s note is always accepted and preferred. The attached form helps parents or guardians provide a written explanation for their child’s absence, ensuring it is properly recorded and, when appropriate, excused in accordance with district policy.
📚 Family Literacy Day is this Saturday, Nov. 1! Families with little ones ages 0–5—come talk, read, play & learn together. 11 AM–1 PM at Maggie Campbell’s Gingerbread House ELC (719 S Ridge Ave.). Free books, fun activities, guest readers & giveaways! #4theT

📚✨ A huge thank you to State Representative Jaclyn Ford for kicking off our celebration of Georgia Pre-K Week!
She visited Matt Wilson Elementary and Len Lastinger Elementary, where she read to our Pre-K students and shared in the joy of early learning. Joining her for the visits were Pre-K Program Specialists BJ Sutton and Latricia Hall from the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning.
A key strength of Georgia’s Pre-K program is helping children build strong foundational literacy skills. Families can support this at home too — simply by reading together every day!
We are grateful for leaders like Rep. Ford who value the importance of early learning and the bright futures of our youngest Blue Devils. #4theT #GaPreKWeek
