Parent and Family Engagement
April 2025
Greetings Parents and Guardians,
With the end of the school year approaching, we are grateful for all the support you have provided and your dedication to your scholar's success. Our goal is to continue to partner with you and your scholar as we finish the school year strong. We look forward to continuing our support in your child's journey as he/she blossoms in their learning. Please watch out for any upcoming events and activities.
Georgia Milestones are Right Around the Corner!
Can you believe it is already Spring? Spring is always a busy time for our school district as students undergo annual standardized testing. Find resources below on how to help your child prepare for these tests and how to manage test-taking stress as a family.
