Wear Orange on Wednesday!
Taylor County Schools is excited to announce Fun Tip Friday for Families! We will be sharing short videos, resources, and activities on Fridays that families can use to support learning at home. Our first Fun Tip Friday for Families focuses on the Science of Reading research and best practices. Take a minute to enjoy this short video that will explain practices and activities that our elementary educators are using to help our students become better readers.
Happy Friday!
