CSD Administering BASC-3 BESS in Grades 3-12
From Oct. 6-31, 2025, CSD will administer the Social, Emotional and Behavioral Screening (BASC-3 BESS), a brief screening tool for students in grades 3-12 that helps to identify social, emotional, and behavioral strengths and needs so schools can provide timely support. Screener results help schools strengthen classroom practices, offer small-group or individual support, and partner with families to connect students with resources. Together, we can ensure every child feels safe, seen and supported. Find out more in the Social, Emotional and Behavioral Screening (BASC-3 BESS) FAQ.
Families wishing to opt out must complete the opt-out form by September 19, 2025.

Celebremos El Mes de la Herencia Latina & Hispana¡Vamos a comer!
F.Ave continues our celebration of Latino and Hispanic Heritage with the Annual FAve Flavors. This event will be held Wednesday, October 8th, 2025. In honor of the many unique cultures and cuisines of Latin America and Spain, we would like to offer students a small taste of Latino & Spanish flavors. We are looking for support from F.Ave families to help make this event a big success. If you have culinary skills and an interest in sharing your favorite Latino and Spanish inspired recipes with our students - we would love for any family to participate! Feel free to pair up with a friend, too. We would recommend simple savory and sweet bites similar to dishes such as Dominican Dulce de Leche, Puerto Rican Plantains, Peruvian Bean and Cheese Pupusas, Venezuelan Corn Arepas, Mexican Churros or Conchas, Cuban Arroz con Frijoles, Uruguayan Chajá, Agua de Fresca. Please no chips and salsa or tacos. We are excited to have our families help build F.Ave's tradition of celebrating our students and community ALL YEAR LONG!
Support us by signing up for a dish or to volunteer during the event.
Sign up to host a Pride Porch at Oakhurst Porchfest!
We are hosting Pride Porches @ Porchfest! Every year the PTA/PTO DEI committees collaborate to decorate porches @ Oakhurst Porchfest to help celebrate Atlanta Pride (which is in October) and show support for our LGBTQIA+ families. If you live in the Porchfest area, we need your porch, lawn, or driveway!
The DEI Committees will create craft kits with decorations and will drop off before Porchfest. The host house just needs to set up their activities on a folding table in the lawn, driveway, or porch. If you have a Pride flag, fly it high!
If you would like to be a host house, please sign up below and provide your address (for kit and treat drop off and as a reference for Pride @ Porchfest maps). We also need volunteers to help assemble the kits on Sunday, October 5 @ 1pm. Location TBD depending on weather.
