Update on elementary Virtual/Remote Learning for the 2020-2021 school year:

The virtual or remote learning option for Thomasville Elementary School will NOT be presented on the paper packet platform used at the end of the 2019-2020 school year. Students choosing the remote option to start the 2020-2021 school year will have one option. Students choosing the remote option will be provided a Chromebook or I-Pad depending on the grade level of the student, however, TCS will NOT provide Internet service. Students choosing the virtual/remote learning must have reliable Internet service in the home setting.
Students may choose to participate in remote learning through an online educational program provided by the ALSDE (Alabama State Department of Education). Google Classroom will also be used for teachers to provide assignments, screen captures, and videos. Students choosing this option will have a classroom teacher who will check in with them to monitor their progress. Students will be required to log in daily and complete assignments in the learning platform. Students may be required to log in during specific time periods of the school day.
We have not been given final guidance on Pre-K students. We fully expect that these students will follow the same platform as the K-4 students. We will update when we receive final guidelines for the State Pre-K Director.

Alabama has announced that it will provide COVID-19 Pandemic Replacement Meal Benefits (P-EBT) to over 407,000 Alabama school children. These funds will be based upon the student’s free and reduced meal eligibility status at their enrolled school system. Thomasville City Schools is aware that many families’ incomes have changed in the past few weeks.  Any household whose income has changed due to COVID-19, may submit a Free and Reduced Meal Application online for school year 2019-2020. If a child qualifies for benefits, then the family is eligible to continue receiving meal benefits for the first 30 days in school year 2020-2021. Also, it is possible for the family to be eligible for the P-EBT benefits for the applicable months. Thomasville City Schools online free and reduced meal application may be accessed at https://thomasvilleschools.strataapps.com/.  Application results will be sent to households via regular mail.
