TGS parents, you've asked for it! Here's your chance! Pay a one time fee of $25 to get ice cream and tattoos for the entire year! This is a limited time offer, though. Please submit your money by Thursday, August 14. Questions? Email Mrs. Stuursma - kasey.stuursma@mcschools.org.
Thank you, Vein Specialists of the South, for kicking off the year with our first Fuel Up Friday! The iced coffees and yummy pastries were a perfect start to the morning, and we appreciate the care info for keeping our legs healthy as well! Thx for the support and partnership!
TG Scott is getting a new entrance and exit! Over the next several days, you will begin to see heavy equipment and other needed materials being brought in and dropped off on our campus as the construction company prepares to begin their work. This will not interfere with our flow of morning arrival and afternoon dismissal traffic. We look forward to this project being completed, making transportation easier for our TGS family!
Rain is on the way so please prepare for Rainy Day Drop-off tomorrow morning.
PreK-2nd grade, drop off at the first awning.
3rd-5th grades, drop off at the second awning.
Both lanes are open - please feel free to use the left lane if only dropping at the second awning. #tgscott

Thank you to New Providence Baptist Church for generously providing breakfast for our teachers on their first day back to work last week. We appreciate the yummy meal but even more, the continual support for our school and community.
We are so excited for tomorrow! As a reminder, school policy allows you to walk your child in for the first 5 days. Doors will open at 7:30, but no classrooms are open until 7:45. If you come prior to that time, you can wait with your child in the media center or cafeteria. Additionally, we will dismiss early the first three days of school:
2:50 pm on Friday, August 1, 2:55 pm on Monday, August 4, & 3:00 pm on Tuesday, August 5.
Thank you for helping us ease into the school year - it's going to be a GREAT one!

Congratulations to Mrs. Ashton Watts, 2025-26 Monroe County Teacher of the Year! You have represented us so well, and your TGS family is so proud of you!

Thank you to Volume Chevrolet for generously providing a new SUV for the TOTY to drive (among other treats) as well as the many other local businesses who donated to the TOTY gifts. We so appreciate your support and partnership in making MCS the very best!

All classes will be participating in our first ever “Bear-ly Used” Book Swap at TGS. Please remember to send your child to school with a book that can be swapped in class for another. This will ensure that all students have at least one new book for the summer! Mrs. Tonn has over 110 in her office if you need one. Please tell your child to go see her, and she’ll take it from there.

Please note that anyone coming to watch must:
- enter through the back parking lot and check in at the top of the hill
- have a photo ID in order to check in
- be listed in the student's Infinite Campus account
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Tamarkis Taylor, and we look forward to a fun day of sunshine tomorrow!
Unfortunately, our field is completely saturated with a forecast calling for even more rain. Therefore 2nd and 3rd grade Field Day will be inside on Tuesday, and due to space constraints, parents will not be able to attend. We apologize but appreciate everyone's understanding.
We are so excited to kick off some Field Day fun on Monday! While we were hoping for sunny skies, the forecast is calling for increased rain, so we are moving the festivities indoors to the gym. Due to space limitations, we won't be able to accommodate parent visitors, but don't worry, we will be capturing plenty of pictures and sharing them so you can still experience all the excitement with us! Thank you for understanding!
Mark your calendars for Thursday night when our principals will camp out on the roof! The kids did such a great job with this year's Read-athon so this is just another reward for the hard work. Let's hope it's not too cold, and let's hope Mr. T and Mr. Sanders pack enough snacks!

According to autismspeaks.org, "Every April, Autism Speaks celebrates World Autism Month, beginning with the United Nations-sanctioned World Autism Awareness Day on April 2. This year marks the 18th annual World Autism Awareness Day." This day is about more than awareness—it’s about action, and we are asking everyone to wear blue on Wednesday, April 2, in an effort to promote greater understanding.
