Congratulations to the Teacher of the Year nominees for 2026-2027! The winners from each school will be announced on March 23rd.
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Report cards will be sent home with students today.
We would also like to inform you of upcoming practice assessments for students in grades 6–8. Students will take a practice Georgia Milestones assessment for ELA tomorrow and a practice math assessment on Thursday, January 8th. These practice tests will help teachers gather valuable data to adjust instruction and better prepare students for the official Georgia Milestones assessments, which will take place in April.
Please ensure that students get a good night’s rest so they can do their best and show what they know. If your child has wired earbuds, please have them bring them to school for the assessments.
Additionally, we would like to remind parents that students are required to wear their school ID at all times. Please check to make sure your child has his or her ID. If an ID has been lost or misplaced, a replacement may be purchased in the media center for $5.
Thank you for your continued support as we work together to support student success.
