Good Morning THS,
As we get prepared for the 2022-2023 School year, I would like to send out items from the THS Student Handbook to prepare us for a successful school year.
Cell Phones / Cell Phone Usage
Cell phone usage is prohibited during instructional time at Taylorville High School. Cell phones should be set to silent mode or turned off upon entering the building. It is permissible for students to use cell phones before school, during passing periods, or during lunch. Cell phones are not to be seen or heard during instructional time. (This includes headphones/earbuds are not to be in use, in ear, or visible.) Cell phones should be placed in the cell phone holders during instructional time. On occasion, teachers may allow students to utilize cell phones for educational purposes. Any use of cell phones in locker rooms or bathrooms is strictly prohibited.
Students whose cell phones go off during class or disrupt the learning environment are subject to disciplinary action as determined by building administration.
Cell phones are popular items of theft. Taylorville Community Unit School District #3 is not responsible for the loss, theft, damage or vandalism to student cell phones. Students and parents are strongly encouraged to ensure that if students have cell phones in their possession they should not leave them unattended or unsecured.
See you soon,
Mr. Hutchison

A message from THS Principal, Matt Hutchison:
I hope that everyone is having an enjoyable summer! I know we still have plenty of summer left but we are busy preparing for the school year.
The custodial staff is doing a great job. As part of the summer work we are moving lockers out of the East Wing as we prepare for upcoming construction.
This is a good time to remind students that we will be utilizing lockers for the 2022-2023 School year. Students will not be allowed to carry book bags from class to class! Students will be required to utilize lockers! This will take some organization and planning on the part of students to know what books/supplies they will need for classes. Students will be allowed to carry their Chromebook bag, however, contents should be limited to Chromebook and charger.
Have a great rest of the Summer! See you soon!
