Important Information for Parents & Guardians

March 8,9 and 29,30 will be remote learning days for face-to-face students: 

Hello T-U Parents and Guardians. Governor Kemp has officially added PK-12 teachers and staff to those eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccination in Georgia. We are so appreciative of our T-U faculty and staff and all they have done to ensure that face-to-face instruction was a safe, viable option for the students within the Thomaston-Upson School District this year. Now, we are taking the opportunity to contribute to the health and safety of T-U faculty and staff.

Thomaston-Upson Schools is partnering with Upson Regional Medical Center for the vaccine rollout to education employees. The hospital will be hosting 2 days of vaccinations just for TU Schools employees - Monday, March 8, for the first dose and Monday, March 29, for the second dose. As a result of this process, we will be altering the school calendar and making Monday and Tuesday, March 8 and 9, remote learning days for our face-to-face (traditional) students. This allows one day for completion of vaccinations and one day in the event that our employees have side effects from the vaccine. We will follow this same process on Monday and Tuesday, March 29 and 30 (remote learning days for face-to-face students.) You will be receiving additional information about these 4 remote learning days from your child’s principal and/or teacher(s).
 
Thank you for your support of Thomaston-Upson Schools and for allowing us to take this significant step towards returning to normal within our schools and our communities.

Welcome to Thomaston-Upson Schools

In 1990, the community voted to consolidate the Thomaston City and Upson County School Systems creating one system that would serve all students within Thomaston and Upson County. The Thomaston-Upson School System opened its doors at the beginning of the 1992-1993 school year. With a little more than 4,100 students in grades PK-12, the Thomaston-Upson School System is small enough to maintain a friendly and safe environment while offering students an array of resources and opportunities often found in only the larger school systems. The Thomaston-Upson School System enjoys a strong connection with the community and views this as crucial to the long-term success of our schools. We encourage students to form bonds with local individuals and groups through community service and community involvement. Our employees are active in local civic organizations and volunteer their time for community events. The unity of school and community enriches our students’ and employees’ lives, improves our schools’ environments, and ultimately creates a community where young people can thrive. Together, our schools and community are working to fulfill the mission of Thomaston-Upson Schools, which is Excellence in education. . .every individual, every day.
