Scott Elementary School

🐾📚 B.A.R.K. is Off to a Great Start! 📚🐾

After just one week, our Bulldogs Always Reading for Kicks (B.A.R.K.) Summer Learning Program is already making an impact!

Throughout the summer, students in grades Pre-K through 5th are spending their mornings strengthening reading and math skills, building confidence, and staying engaged in learning—all while having fun with friends and dedicated teachers.

Research shows that students can lose valuable academic progress over the summer months, but programs like B.A.R.K. help keep learning moving forward and prepare students for a strong start to the new school year.

From hands-on lessons and small-group instruction to literacy activities and skill-building opportunities, our students are staying active, curious, and connected to learning. We're proud of the hard work they have already shown during week one and can't wait to see their growth throughout the summer.

A special thank you to our teachers, staff, and families for helping make B.A.R.K. a success. Together, we're ensuring our Bulldogs continue learning, growing, and thriving all summer long.

🐾🔬 STEM Camp Success at TCS! 🔬🐾

What an incredible week at our TCS STEM Camps! We were excited to host two camps this summer—one for rising 4th and 5th graders and one for rising 6th and 7th graders.

From hands-on activities to problem-solving and exploration, students were fully engaged and excited to learn. The turnout was fantastic, and the energy throughout the week made it clear—this was a special experience for everyone involved.

Even better, we’re already hearing from parents and students about what a great time they had and how they can’t wait to come back next year!

This is what Bulldog +1 looks like—creating opportunities that spark curiosity and prepare students for the future.

🐾🎓 Shoutout Saturday: Celebrating Our Graduates! 🎓🐾

Today, we celebrate all of our Thomasville City Schools students who reached incredible milestones this year—from our Pre-K graduates, to our 5th and 8th grade students, and our Class of 2026 seniors.

Each step represents growth, hard work, and new opportunities ahead. Whether it’s the first graduation or the final walk across the stage, every moment matters in the journey.

As our students move forward, they carry with them the foundation built here at TCS—one that prepares them for what comes next through our Bulldog +1 commitment:
Enrolled. Enlisted. Employed.

We are so proud of each of you and excited to see where your path leads. Your future is bright, and your Bulldog family is cheering you on every step of the way.
