PART 2: FIVE CITIES. ONE COMMUNITY. ONE SHARED VISION!

Sumter County Schools wrapped up its October State of Education Town Hall Listening Tour with stops in Andersonville and Americus, completing our visits across all five city service areas!

Each gathering provided a valuable opportunity to connect with our community, share district updates, listen to concerns, and engage in meaningful conversations about the future of education in Sumter County.

We are grateful to everyone who attended, shared their voices, and continues to support our students, schools, and district. Your engagement makes a difference!

The October tour was a success, and we look forward to the next opportunity to connect with our Panther family and community!

Empowering Teachers. Building Strong Readers.

At Sumter County Schools, we are committed to strengthening literacy instruction and ensuring every child has the opportunity to become a successful reader. By closely examining student achievement data, we are making intentional instructional shifts to better meet the literacy needs of every student.

Our ELA teachers participated in engaging professional learning focused on foundational literacy skills, explicit, evidence-based instruction, and effective curriculum implementation.

A special thank you to Kelly Chester from the Sandra Dunagan Deal Center for Early Language and Literacy for leading such meaningful learning! Our teachers made sure Kelly knew just how much they appreciated her!

BUILDING STRONG READERS, ONE CLASSROOM AT A TIME!

Sumter County Schools is continuing its commitment to promoting literacy through our Primary School Read Aloud Initiative!

In this session, Mandy Butler of Chattahoochee-Flint RESA led and modeled effective strategies for conducting engaging and meaningful read-alouds with our youngest learners.

As part of this collaborative effort, district leaders are assigned to classrooms to support literacy development, model best practices, and help foster a love of reading among our students.

Because every story matters, every reader matters, and every opportunity to learn makes a difference!

Together, we are building a stronger foundation for lifelong readers!

Stronger Partnerships. Greater Possibilities. One Panther Family!
