Dear students and families,
In celebration of the historical SNOW that covered us last week, we are putting up a SNOW MUCH FUN collage at our school. If you would like to participate, please send in a 4 x 6 photo of your student/students in the snow last week! If you are unable to print a photo, you can email them to ndunn@upson.k12.ga.us by Thursday for inclusion in the collage! We look forward to seeing all the fun had in the SNOW on our week off.
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Due to the inclement weather and the recent school cancellations, we have decided to reschedule the date midterms go home to ensure the preparedness of all students.
Midterms were originally scheduled for February 5th will now go home on February 12th.
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing all our students back at school on Monday.
Thanks,
PTO Krispy Kreme Fundraiser- Forms will go home on Monday, January 27. 🍩
After consultation with the Sheriff’s Office, local EMS, and the TU transportation department, we have made the decision to close school again tomorrow, Friday, January 24. This decision was made out of an abundance of caution for our buses, parent/staff drivers, and our young student drivers who may be driving themselves to school on secondary roads that could be icy and dangerous in the morning after refreezing overnight. As you know, we will always put student and staff safety first when making decisions such as this one. All schools will return to a regular schedule on Monday, January 27. Thank you for your support of Thomaston-Upson Schools!
Due to the probability of icy and hazardous road conditions, particularly on secondary roads, and our safety concerns for students and staff, the Thomaston-Upson School System will be closed on Thursday, January 23.
Due to severe weather and the probability of adverse driving conditions in the morning, all Thomaston-Upson Schools and Central Office will be closed on Wednesday, January 22. We will continue to monitor the weather and will release information about Thursday’s plans as soon as possible.
Thomaston-Upson Co: The TU School System has been monitoring weather reports and gathering the information necessary to make an informed decision about this week's predicted storms. In order to ensure the safety of students and staff, all Thomaston-Upson Schools and central office will be closed Tuesday, January 21. We will release information about Wednesday's plans on Tuesday afternoon after assessing the weather situation.

We have registered each class for a chance to win books and visit from Super Bowl Champion- Malcom Mitchell. Students should be bringing home a reading log for the first quarter that is due next Tuesday morning. Each week is a new quarter, until we reach Super Bowl Weekend. Students should record the minutes they read at home and at school. Prizes will be given to the class with the most minutes logged. Let's go 🏈🏈

Late post. Thank you First Methodist Church of Thomaston for yummy treat.
Bravo! Encore! 🎶 These 5th grade students have worked diligently to play all 7 of their recorder songs ranging in difficulty. Each song earned them a cool string for their recorder! We are so proud of their hard work and determination. Good luck in your future music endeavors!" Pictured: Kariah Alford, Levi Stinson, Icelynn Crawford, Dilynn Knox, and Heaven Walker
