  • Tolar School is OPEN Tomorrow!

    Good afternoon, Restoration crews have been on-site today at Tolar School dealing with the smoke smell in some of the outlying buildings.  They will be finished later this evening and school WILL BE OPEN tomorrow, Thursday, May 5th.  A few points moving forward: 1.  Principal Rob Wheetley has identified areas within the main building at Tolar School to house Pre-K for the remainder of this year and for the next school year.  We WILL NOT be returning any students in any grade level to the portables.  The portables will be removed from the Tolar School campus this summer. 2.  Tolar Pre-K will resume classes on Monday, May 9th.  Pre-K Administration will continue to communicate with parents. 3.  State testing resumes tomorrow at Tolar School.  We need all students to get a good night's sleep as they return to testing tomorrow morning. Thank you for your patience!  It is appreciated more than you know. Sincerely, Kyle Peddie Liberty County Superintendent of Schools

  • School Closure tomorrow at Tolar School ONLY

    Good afternoon, This morning the Tolar School Pre-K Administration Building caught fire sometime around 9:30am.  Pre-K students in the nearby classrooms followed our fire drill procedures perfectly and quickly exited their classrooms without any injury.  Other areas of Tolar School were evacuated as well.  Liberty County Fire was on the scene almost immediately and extinguished the flame.  Due to the smoke, we felt it was in the best interest of student/staff health to dismiss school early.  I have met with the Bureau of Fire, Arson, and Explosives, (state fire marshal) and they are investigating the cause of the fire.  No one was in the Pre-K Administration Building at the time of the fire.  We are grateful all of our kids were safe at all times.  We are awaiting a fire restoration service to come this afternoon to mainly deal with the smoke smell in the main buildings at Tolar School.   1.  I'm not comfortable with having kids back in classes until some sanitation/cleaning happens by the restoration company.  At this time, I'm not sure how long that will take, so I'm cancelling school at Tolar tomorrow, Wednesday, May 4th.  We will have a better idea of cleanup time later this evening.  Again, the Pre-K Administration Building is a total loss.  There is only a smoke smell in the other parts of Tolar School which we need to deal with.   2.  We will not allow Pre-K students to return to those portables, therefore there will be NO Pre-K classes the rest of the week at Tolar School.  We will spend the rest of the week re-locating those classrooms into the main building at Tolar School.   3.  We will follow up tomorrow with ParentSquare communication and communication on my personal Facebook page as to the schedule for the rest of the week. 4.  Tolar Staff will be informed later today regarding work tomorrow. 5.  There WILL be school at Hosford School and LCHS tomorrow. I would like to thank the Liberty Fire Departments for their most excellent service today.  These men and women are CHAMPIONS!  We are blessed to have them serve us in Liberty County.  Our students and staff followed protocols perfectly today, and for that I'm most proud!  I'm indeed grateful to God for his watch care over everyone today.   God Bless our Schools and God bless Liberty County! Kyle Peddie Liberty County Superintendent of Schools
