Taft ISD is currently experiencing an issue with in-bound calls to our phone system at all campuses. This issue is under investigation. We will update once we have more information as to a resolution.
Reminder that classes resume in Taft ISD on Monday, March 16th (tomorrow) at their regular times! We can't wait to see everyone and hope you enjoyed your spring break!
For the past 4 years, our district has used our staff development day before Spring Break to give our staff at all of our campuses and district a day collaborate with each other, recharge and hopefully get their minds ready for a week of relaxation. To address these mental health needs, we allow our staff to choose areas where they might feel comfortable to have a little fun.
Staff could choose to work/play in the Education Foundation golf tournament, go on a nature walk/hike at the beach or participate in Greyhound Camp sessions. Here are some pics from some of the activities that took place on Friday (see previous post for staff participating in golf tourney). We hope everyone enjoyed their day and wish all of our staff a relaxing Spring Break!
