Tyler County Schools

Tyler County Schools COVID Update As you all know numbers of cases in our schools are rising. The guidance that has been given to schools by the state to determine when to close a school because of illness is based on two factors: 1. Not enough staff to safely run a school 2. Double the amount of absences based on the daily attendance rate at a school ( same as any other illness) We will continue to monitor both of these factors closely. Tyler County Schools have 47 active cases among students and 10 active cases among adults. Parents thank you for your cooperation with this matter.

Masks Guidelines for after school events. Tyler County Schools August 23rd 2021 - All indoor sports spectators must wear a mask. - Players not actively participating in an indoor sport we ask that they wear a mask on the bench. - Any event that is held indoors, after school hours we ask that you wear a mask. * Please know that these guidelines are fluent, if we see a decrease in active cases in our schools we lessen these guidelines. We want everyone to get to come enjoy all of our events and at this time we feel this is the safest way to do so for our students.

This year, senior athletes will be given one banner for free, which will follow them from sport to sport. For each activity/sport, an icon will be placed on the banner - like a pin on a letterman's jacket. Fall sport senior pictures will be taken on Wednesday, August 18th in the library during 9th period. Seniors are asked to wear their favorite TCHS gear. Fall coaches, please send your rosters to Mrs. Potoczny ASAP.

Tyler County Schools are launching a new mobile app that helps students, parents, and community members know what is happening on campus, right from their phones. We know that families are using smartphones as a primary means to communicate. That’s why we’ve created an app that is custom-built for mobile. On the app, you can find documents, contact information for staff, and event information. You can download the app for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play.

The 2021 Back To School Fair is coming up soon - see you there!
