The beauty of a quiet, snowy morning at Nakina Middle School.
Due to the incoming winter storm, staff will be working virtually, and CCCA will have remote instruction on January 22, 2025. All other schools will be closed for students due to the scheduled teacher workday.
WTS Homecoming Spirit week will be January 27th-January 31st
Due to expected inclement weather, CCCA will be releasing at 1:00 PM on January 21st. All afternoon activities are cancelled for all schools. Please plan accordingly and stay safe.
Schools will be closed on Monday, January 20th in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. There will be no school for students on Tuesday and Wednesday due to teacher workdays, except for CCCA, which will remain on its regular schedule.
We are also closely monitoring the weather for any potential issues that may affect this week’s schedule.
At TCS, 8th grade students in Ms. Williamson’s class reviewed “The Vanishing Island” for their upcoming test. Students played a review game by creating three questions of their own based on the text and asking peers their questions. If students got the answer incorrect, they had to give up one of their clothespins. The challenge was to answer questions correctly to keep your clothespins and win! Today was full of laughs, competitiveness and lots of energy!
Due to potential weather-related issues on the western end of Columbus County, all schools will dismiss early at 2 PM today. This decision ensures that buses have adequate time to complete their routes safely before conditions potentially deteriorate.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we prioritize the well-being of our students and staff.
Due to expected cold conditions in the morning, TCS will operate on a 2-hour delay. Student drop-off will begin at 9:30 AM, and school will start at 10:00 AM. Bus pickups will run approximately 2 hours later than the usual schedule. Please stay safe and dress warmly.
Columbus County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay on Thursday, January 9th for students, faculty, and staff due to a cold weather advisory and wind chills expected to be in the low teens.
Words of encouragement with a fun gift to start the new year off on a positive note! Thank You Mrs. Cullipher for the surprise!
Amazing artwork from teacher Allison Ellis' students on display at ADES!
