Below, you will find important information updates:
Closure dates:
Governor Kemp has mandated that all Georgia schools close through the end of this month. Our Spring Break is scheduled for April 6-10, 2020. In consultation with the TU Board of Education, we have made the decision not to return to school April 1-3 (the 3 days prior to Spring Break). Therefore, Thomaston-Upson Schools will remain closed through April 12. While our anticipated return date is Monday, April 13, this date is still subject to change in the event of additional state or federal mandates.
Spring Break:
No instruction or meal distribution will take place during Spring Break, April 6-10. Please carefully consider your actions during this break and continue to follow any DPH and CDC guidelines designed to keep you and your families safe.
School Meals & Curriculum Distribution:
Approximately 1100 children and youth received meals during week 1 of the school closure. We anticipate that even more may come out for week 2. In an effort to protect the health and well-being of those staff members assisting with meal distribution, all sites will be made drive-through only, UNLESS the student has no transportation and must walk to the site. Walkers will be encouraged to “grab and go” in order to protect themselves and others. Paper copies of the week’s curriculum packet will be distributed at all sites.

I know that some of you will have questions about items not addressed in this information. In some cases, decisions cannot yet be made due to uncertainty of the spread of COVID-19 within the U.S. We are taking the situation one day at a time.

May you and your families remain safe and well throughout this time.
