Toombs County Schools Transportation Department

Toombs County High School is committed to protecting instructional time and providing an environment where every student can focus, learn, and succeed.

In compliance with Georgia HB 1009, beginning with the 2026-2027 school year, students in grades 9–12 will be required to keep all personal electronic devices:

✅ Powered off
✅ Stored securely in a book bag
✅ Out of sight
✅ Put away from the time the student arrives on campus until the student leaves after dismissal

This expectation includes cell phones, smart watches, earbuds and headphones, tablets/iPads, smart glasses, and any personal electronic device capable of communication, internet access, web browsing, or data transmission. Devices must also remain powered off and stored while students are riding school buses.

Please review the attached graphic carefully for complete expectations, disciplinary consequences, and emergency communication procedures.

Thank you in advance to our students and families for partnering with us to maintain a focused, safe, and successful learning environment while adhering to this new mandate.

Please remember this family in your prayers.

It is with great sadness that we share the unexpected passing of Josie Conner, a member of our cafeteria staff at TCMS. Josie was a valued member of our school family whose kindness and dedication made a difference in the lives of our students and staff each day.

Please keep her family, friends, and our TCMS family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
