Don't forget Wednesday, December 17th and Thursday, December 18th we will have a GREEN Party for all students who met their iReady goals or scored in the GREEN! Make sure you bring your money for some delicious GREEN snacks.
As the Christmas season approaches and families shop for their children, we want to take a moment to remind everyone of our school’s shoe dress code. Recently, we have seen an increase in students wearing shoes that do not meet elementary school guidelines.
Please remember:
• Flip flops or slides of any kind are not permitted
• All shoes must be secured at the toe and heel (shoelaces tied, buckles secured, or Velcro fastened)
• Bedroom shoes/slippers are not allowed
• Shoes should not be of extended length and heel height may not exceed 2 inches
Thank you for your continued support in helping our students come to school ready to learn. 🎄✨

We are headed BACK TO THE BENZ!
On Tuesday, December 16, 2025, our Toombs County Bulldogs will compete for the GHSA Class A Division 1 State Championship for the 2nd consecutive year. We are extremely proud of our football team for earning this opportunity, and equally proud of our band and cheerleaders who will join them and create lasting memories at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Because more than 150 students and staff must travel to Atlanta and be loaded on buses at designated times for the 2:00 p.m. game, we must adjust our school operations for that day.
The Toombs County School System will be closed on Tuesday, December 16, 2025. Regular operations will resume on Wednesday, December 17, 2025.
We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause, and we appreciate your flexibility and support. We invite the entire Toombs County community to join us in Atlanta as we cheer on our Bulldogs in their pursuit of a State Championship. Please join me in wishing our football team, band, cheerleaders, and coaches the very best as they represent Toombs County with excellence.
Go Dogs!
Barry Waller, Superintendent
