#FirstDayOfSchool #BeABulldog #ThomasvilleCitySchools #BuildingTheFutureTogether #OneTCS #BulldogPride #BackToSchool #WelcomeBack #EverySchoolDayCounts
As we prepare to welcome students back, we want to remind families of an important update for the 2026–2027 school year.
In accordance with Georgia House Bill 1009, all Georgia public schools will implement a bell-to-bell restriction on personal electronic devices for students in grades K–12. This new law expands the state's distraction-free learning initiative to include high school students, helping create classrooms where students can stay focused, engaged, and connected to learning.
Here's what to expect at Thomasville City Schools:
📱 Students in grades 6–12 will store their personal devices in Yondr pouches throughout the school day.
📚 Elementary schools will continue following age-appropriate school procedures that align with the state's distraction-free learning requirements.
We appreciate your partnership as we work together to create safe, focused, and engaging learning environments for every Bulldog.
Let's disconnect from devices and reconnect with learning, friendships, and opportunities.
#BeABulldog #ThomasvilleCitySchools #BuildingTheFutureTogether #BackToSchool #DistractionFreeLearning #SchoolSafety #ReadyToLearn
Also, remember that MPMS is an Electronics-Free Campus. Students should leave personal electronic devices (laptops, iPads, MacBooks, smartwatches, headphones, air pods) at home.
Thank you for helping us create a safe, respectful, and distraction-free learning environment. We can't wait to welcome everyone back!

🎬 Lights. Camera. Action!
This past week, Thomasville High School students are participating in an immersive Film Lab led by PhilanthroFilms, where they're creating an original narrative short film.
Throughout the lab, students are working alongside film industry professionals while gaining hands-on experience in screenwriting, directing, cinematography, production, sound, and editing. It's an incredible opportunity to develop creative and technical skills while exploring careers in film and digital media.
Experiences like these are what Bulldog +1 is all about—connecting students with meaningful opportunities that prepare them for success beyond graduation.
We can't wait to see the finished product! 🎞️🍿🎥

A huge Saturday Shoutout to William and Thomas Casper and J.C. and Neil Wise for their incredible hearts and generosity!
The boys recently hosted their annual Lemon-Aid Stand for a Cause, raising nearly $5,000 to support Thomasville High School teacher Mrs. Allison Ponder and her family as she courageously battles breast cancer.
Their compassion, hard work, and willingness to serve others are a true example of what it means to be part of the #TCSFamily. We are incredibly proud of these Bulldogs for making such a meaningful impact in the life of one of our own.
Mrs. Ponder, we continue to keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. We wish you strength, hope, and comfort as you walk through this journey.
❤️💛 Thank you for this Bulldog Brag!❤️💛
