🏈❤️🖤 TALLADEGA FOOTBALL IS PLAYOFF BOUND!

We are excited to cheer on our Talladega Tigers as they travel to Brewton, Alabama, this Friday to play T.R. Miller! Due to team travel, major bus delays are expected Friday afternoon. Some bus routes will be combined, causing students to arrive home later than usual. A dismissal form will be sent home tomorrow. Please complete and return it to let us know if your child will ride the bus or be picked up at regular dismissal time.

Students who travel to the game to support our Tigers will receive a principal-approved absence for the entire school day. Students must sign in with Dr. Quentin Lee at the stadium. If they do not sign in, a written excuse from a parent will be needed when they return to school. Thank you for your patience and support as we cheer on our Tigers! LET'S GO, TALLADEGA! 🏈❤️🖤

Hey, Tiny Tiger Families! 🧡🖤

Our Lost & Found is starting to fill up! 👕🧥🎒 We have several items that may belong to our students, and we want to make sure they find their way back home.

Parents, please take a moment to look through the pictures and see if you recognize anything that belongs to your child. If you see an item that belongs to your Tiny Tiger, please contact your child’s teacher to claim it!
