Who: Families of students who are receiving special education services

What: Each state is required to conduct a parent survey to measure parent/family perceptions of the success of parent engagement between home and local schools.

When: Available January 20 through May 31.

Where: Parents can complete the survey via the survey link below.

Under a state law passed by the Georgia State Legislature, parents of students who receive special education services may request to transfer their child to another public or private school in Georgia provided that their child has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or a Section 504 Plan and has been enrolled for a full academic year in a Georgia public school.

We are excited to invite you to our upcoming band and orchestra concerts next week!

Tuesday, 4/29 at 6:30 PM (Orchestra): The first concert is a Night at the Movies presented by SKG Orchestras! This performance will feature music from movies like James Bond, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, and more. In addition to showcasing the hard work and talent of our orchestra students, this is also a collaboration with featured musicians from our excellent band program here at Seckinger. The full symphony orchestra is sure to be a highlight!

Wednesday, April 30th at 6:00 PM (Jazz Band and Percussion Ensembles): We are excited to present a brand new concert featuring our Jazz Band and Percussion Ensembles. We've decided to separate this performance from our traditional spring concert to give these talented students their own dedicated spotlight.

Thursday, May 1st at 6:00 PM (Band): The Concert Band, Symphonic Band, and Wind Symphony will take the stage for the annual Spring Concert. This performance will be a similar layout to our concerts in the past. It's a great opportunity to hear all of our band students perform.

All performances are free, and we hope you'll come out to support the hard work of both the instrumentalists here at Seckinger!
