💼On Friday, our 8th grade students attended a career fair at Tift County High School featuring local leaders in business, industry, and emergency services. Students and teachers alike were highly engaged. We would like to thank our community sponsors for this event which include Chicken Salad Chick, Coca-Cola Company, Ellianos, and Publix. Thanks to these sponsors we were able to provide food and refreshments throughout the event. Another special shoutout goes to the counselors from our school and Eighth Street Middle School for coordinating the event. It was a success! #BeTheBestYOU #NEMS #4theT

Just a reminder that our schools will not accept Valentine's Day deliveries for students. Thank you! #4theT

The Georgia Parent Survey was developed to measure parent perceptions of school climate at your child’s school. Your opinion is very important to us. Your survey responses are confidential and will be combined with the survey responses of other parents at your child’s school to identify areas in need of improvement. It should only take ten or fifteen minutes to complete the survey. You can begin the survey by clicking on the link below. Thank you for your time and participation. #4theT https://gshs.gadoe.org/Pages/parent.aspx
