UPSON CO. SCHOOLS CLOSED THROUGH FRIDAY, MARCH 20

The decision has been made to close Thomaston-Upson Schools through Friday, March 20.

The primary purpose of this closure is to reduce the risk of transmission of illness between staff, students, and the greater Thomaston-Upson community. This type of closure differs from a severe weather closure or a school holiday. 

During this time, T-U Schools will continue to provide students with quality educational opportunities and school meals. 

The following is information on medication pick-up, digital learning, paper/pencil learning packets, and free school meal distribution:

Medications left in school clinics:
March 16, 8 AM – 10 AM: School nurses will be in the school clinics so that parents/guardians may pick up student medication that was left in the clinics.

Student Meals:
Thomaston-Upson School Nutrition will operate School Meal Pick-Up Sites on Tuesday, March 17th from 11:30 AM - 1 PM while supplies last. Students may pick up a food box for two meals a day for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. 

The following rules will apply:
Any child 18 years old and younger is eligible to receive meals.
The student(s) must be present to receive a meal package.
