Most of Georgia's public school systems are accredited by Cognia, a nonprofit organization tasked with setting educational standards that prepare students for life after the classroom. Cognia will be conducting an accreditation review for the Thomas County School System during the school year. As part of the accreditation process, schools submit their educational environment to a rigorous process of analysis and evaluation. This parent survey will allow you to respond to questions about Cognia standards and how Thomas County includes families in the education of their students. Please complete this survey by September 22, 2023. If you have children in two or more schools, please take a moment to complete a survey for each school.

Thomas County kindergarten students at Hand In Hand Primary School combined dramatic play, mathematics, and reading comprehension during a culminating activity connected with the book “Caps for Sale” by Esphyr Slobodkina.  Students discussed the plot and characters of the story before one student portrayed the monkey character and another student play the peddler. The peddler rolled two dice, identified the numbers, added them together, and then one to one counted that many caps to put on the monkey’s head!
