November 2021 Idea Source

Happy Happy National Family Engagement Month and National Native American Heritage Month!




The Office of Federal Programs presents the second issue of the Idea Source, an electronic publication filled with ideas to share with your schools, your families, and communities. Like the other issues, inside, you will find several ideas that promise to enlighten anyone who wishes to learn more about engaging families and communities with the work we do at our schools.


The November 2021 issue features some of our Title I Schools and how they have engaged families, an article about "social cues" from the Early Learning and School Readiness Department, a pledge for families from the GaDOE, and much more!


The link to the Idea Source is provided below, and will also be available on the Federal Programs eCLASS page. Again, we are excited to offer this resource to you, and we promise to do so every other month this school year! It is our hope that you find it resourceful, enjoyable, and inspirational!


Thank you for continuing to share the ideas that you learn from the Idea Source!
