The following day, Thursday, November 12, the school system will hold its district spelling bee at Lyerly Elementary School. The competition begins at 6 PM and will feature student spellers competing for district recognition.

Looking ahead to the Thanksgiving holiday, Chattooga County Schools will be closed November 24 through November 27 for Thanksgiving break. With the district’s regular four-day school week, students will return to classes on Tuesday, December 1.

Parents and students are encouraged to keep these dates in mind as they make plans for November.

Chattooga County Tax Commissioner Joy Hampton is reminding property owners to keep their mailing addresses updated after a large number of property tax bills were returned as undeliverable.

In a social media post, Hampton’s office shared a photograph showing a large stack of returned mail and urged residents who have moved or closed their post office boxes to notify the Chattooga County Tax Assessor’s Office.

Hampton explained that residents who need to update their mailing addresses should contact the Tax Assessor’s Office so the changes can be communicated to her office before next year’s tax bills are mailed.

The reminder is particularly important for property owners who have recently moved, changed mailing addresses or stopped using a post office box. Keeping address information current helps ensure that future property tax notices reach the correct destination.

Property owners can also look up their tax bills online at www.chattoogacountytax.com.

Residents who have not received their property tax bills are encouraged to check their information and make sure their mailing addresses are correct.
