This year, due to Covid precautions and the fact that Valentine’s Day is on a Sunday, SGCMS will not be promoting or accepting any items at school to be delivered to students either before Valentine’s Day or afterwards. Thanks for your cooperation.
School board members devote hours of their time to provide leadership for our school district. Take time to thank a school member today! We appreciate you all!

Those names will be left at the gate to be checked off. Cheerleaders may not attend while these restrictions remain in place. We appreciate your understanding.

The Tennessee Department of Health has released updated guidance on releasing cases and contacts from isolation and quarantine regarding COVID-19. Please click the link to review the full guidance. The list below is a summary of the changes:
NON-HOUSEHOLD CONTACTS Non-household contacts must be quarantined after exposure to a case, regardless of whether the case was symptomatic. TDH and CDC recommend a 14-day quarantine. Acceptable alternatives to a 14-day quarantine include:
• after Day 10 (returning to regular activities on Day 11) without testing if the contact does not have symptoms.
• after Day 7 (returning to regular activities on Day 8) if the contact does not have symptoms and if they test negative by a PCR or antigen (rapid) test collected after Day 5. Continue to self-monitor for symptoms and wear a face mask through Day 14.
• If they go the route of getting a negative PCR or antigen (rapid) test, we will need proof of that test to allow them back before the 10 days are up.
