It is from (3:30-5 :30PM)
3rd-5th grade students may leave their classroom when the teacher releases them if they have an armband AND a signed permission form at 3:30. They will need to be responsible and on their best Jerger Leader behavior to be able to walk with friends.

🎒✨ Middle School Is Closer Than You Think! ✨🎒
Big things are ahead for rising 6th graders, and new opportunities await current middle school students, too.
As students grow, so do their opportunities—and Thomasville City Schools offers an experience designed to help them thrive. Our new 6–12 campus provides an open, welcoming environment that is easy to navigate, with grade-level areas that keep students connected and supported within a close-knit school community.
Here’s what sets TCS apart:
• Smaller class sizes that allow for stronger relationships and personalized learning
• Challenging academic rigor that prepares students for high school, college, and careers
• Exceptional arts programs, including dance, drama, visual arts, and music
• Expanded athletic opportunities, especially for multi-sport student-athletes
• A unified campus that supports growth across academics, arts, and athletics
Through our Bulldog +1 initiative, students also benefit from expanded real-world learning opportunities made possible through partnerships with local businesses, higher education, and industry leaders including Cleaver-Brooks, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM), Southern Regional Technical College (SRTC), Georgia Tech, and many others. These partnerships help students explore future pathways early and build connections that extend beyond the classroom.
📌 New student enrollment opens February 3rd.
Whether your student is preparing for middle school or looking for new opportunities, Thomasville City Schools offers a place to discover interests, build confidence, and grow as a learner and leader.
The future is bright and it starts right here at Thomasville City Schools.
