After communicating with the Emergency Management Agency and National Weather Service this morning, the storm has accelerated and shifted overnight. Given the increased projections of snow accumulation for Tift County, Tift County Schools will be closed on Wednesday January 22, 2025, to include all after school events. Today, 3-12th grade students will come home with Chromebooks for an independent learning day on Wednesday.

After communicating with the Emergency Management Agency, overnight the timeline for the onset of the weather has moved up slightly, as a result, we will be dismissing ALL students at 1:45pm today. There is another National Weather Service briefing this morning, which will help inform our decisions regarding Wednesday. We will send out an update as soon as we have more information.

Based on the latest weather updates from the National Weather Service and after communication with our local Emergency Management Agency, Tift County Schools has made the decision that all schools will be in session on Tuesday January 21st, but will release 1 hour early. So, elementary schools will dismiss students at 1:45pm and middle and high schools will dismiss at 2:30pm. This decision is based on the current forecast that the temperatures will drop to freezing between 5 and 6pm on Tuesday evening creating icy conditions on our roads. The hour early dismissal ensures all students, staff, and drivers can be off the roads before the freezing temperatures occur. Additionally, all afterschool activities for Tuesday will be canceled to include practices. Throughout the afternoon and evening on Tuesday, we will continue to monitor the weather as well as road conditions to inform our decisions regarding school on Wednesday. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to ensure the safety of our entire school community. Stay warm and safe!
