Metter Middle School is pleased to announce the Teacher of the Year as Mrs. Rebecca Hickman!! Mrs. Hickman teaches 6th grade Science and you should have heard the entire student body’s explosive reaction when she was named over the intercom…and many came running to her room to give her a congratulatory hug! You could tell she is really loved by all.
The Board of Education has announced its intention to maintain a 14.0 millage rate, as necessary for the securing of state equalization funds, which will require an increase in property taxes by 5.58 percent.
All concerned citizens are invited to the first public hearing on this tax
increase to be held at the Candler County Board of Education Central
Office on Tuesday, September 12, 2023 at 6:00 pm.
Times and places of additional public hearings on this tax increase are
at the Candler County Schools K-8 Complex on September 19, 2023 at
8:00 am and the Candler County Board of Education Central Office on
September 21, 2023 at 5:00 pm.
The tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 14.000 mills, an
increase of .74 mills. Without this tentative tax increase, the millage
rate will be no more than 13.260 mills. The proposed tax increase for a
home with a fair market value of $150,000 is approximately $42.92 and
the proposed tax increase for non-homestead property with a fair
market value of $100,000 is approximately $29.60.
When dismissing a student early, parents must come into the office and sign them out before the child is dismissed from class. We will no longer accept phone calls ahead of time (this is the same rule as MMS).
2) Drop off is very busy at Oaktree. We would like this be for our youngest students. All others please consider dropping off at Pond or the front. These areas are less congested in the morning.
Title 1 and Parent Orientation for PreK-8th Grades coming up Tuesday, August 15.

5:30 pm Parent Orientation

Schools have power today (Wednesday, August 9) and are ready to welcome students. Buses are also running, although some may be a little off schedule.
The Candler County School District requires parents/students to register for transportation services prior to the upcoming school year. This form allows parents to request transportation for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year. Please complete the form for each student in your household.
Failure to complete this form could result in delays or denial of transportation services at the beginning of the new school year. Please do not assume that just because your student was a bus rider last year that he/she is automatically a bus rider for the upcoming school year.
