Taylor County Schools NTID Plan: What Families Need to Know
As we prepare for Non-Traditional Instructional Days (NTID), we want to ensure our families are fully supported! Watch our short video overview to see how NTIDs work in Taylor County Schools.
Key Highlights for Families:
• 📱 Learning & Assignments: Students complete performance-based lessons using district-issued iPads or hardcopy packets distributed by teachers. Assignments focus on core skills in literacy, math, science, and social studies.
• ⏰ Teacher Contact: Teachers and staff are available to answer questions and assist families via email, TEAMS, or Rooms from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
• 📅 Work Submission: Students have two instructional days following the school closure to complete and submit assigned work.
• 🍎 Student Nutrition: Feeding sites are open at every school in the district during NTIDs. Students are not restricted to their home school and may pick up meals at any school location.

Good Morning, Parents/Guardians of Taylor County,
This message is as much an announcement and reminder as it is an appeal for your assistance as we continue to focus attention on safety.
In the past few weeks, it has been noticed that an increasing number of Elementary and Middle School age students are being dropped off to attend activities and events sponsored by the school system without parents or chaperones.
While we encourage any/all individuals to join our sponsored opportunities, it is essential that we ensure that they are as safe as possible. Doing so requires the cooperation of all of us and includes proper chaperone supervision and careful vehicular traffic as well.
In an attempt to prevent any injury to any of our attendees of activities and events, ensure that those younger individuals are supervised. Please see the Parents and Students section of our Taylor County Schools Website if you would like to review TCBOE POLICY 5855 - STUDENT ACCESS AT SCHOOL EVENTS.
In addition, beginning with this evening's GHS Homecoming event, you will also note a return to parking restrictions near/along certain areas of the more frequented foot traffic locations.
Thank you in advance for your assistance with this very important need.
With Sincerest Best Regards,
Dr. John E. Stallings, Jr.,
Superintendent

















This week at Flemington Elementary, our 2nd graders have been learning all about spiders and their fascinating habits! 🔍🕷️
We learned about different types of spiders, where they live, what they eat, how they build their webs, and some of the amazing ways spiders survive in their environments. 🌎🕸️



Our students had an amazing time participating in the Clay2Go program from the Clay Center in Charleston! Throughout the week, they had the opportunity to explore, create, problem-solve, experiment, and work together through a variety of hands-on STEM activities.
From building and testing to discovering how things work, our students were learning important skills while having SO much fun! 💡🤔 Their curiosity, creativity, teamwork, and excitement were on full display all week long.
We are so thankful for opportunities like Clay2Go that allow our students to experience hands-on, engaging learning beyond the traditional classroom. It was definitely a week filled with learning, laughter, and lots of happy students! ❤️
Take a look at some of the fun we had this week! 🧪🔬🚀
