Dear Champion Families,
We hope you have enjoyed a wonderful summer! We are so excited to welcome our Champion students back for a fantastic new school year at Chattahoochee! We have heard you loud and clear; communication is so important to the success of our school community. To ensure that our home-school connection remains strong, we would like to take this opportunity to introduce our new communication tools.
Talking Points will be replacing Class DOJO for two-way communication between teachers and parents. This platform has translation capabilities and comes in an app as well as text messaging.
PBIS Rewards will be replacing Class DOJO for communication about Champion behavior.
Classroom teachers will provide further information at Open House for both new communication tools. Never fear, some communication tools will remain the same:
Canvas pages will be used by teachers to communicate weekly academic content, assignments and resources.
IC Messenger will be used to communicate brief, timely, school-wide information for parents and guardians. These messages will come via email and text.
Champion CHATT will provide monthly news and updates for our Chattahoochee Champion community. A link to the newsletter will be provided via IC Messenger and highlighted on Facebook with a video message from the administration.
ATTENTION: Please update Parent Portal contact information. ALL communication tools will send information to those contacts listed as #1 and #2 in the Parent Portal. For additional assistance with Parent Portal, please visit the cafeteria during Open House.
2025-26 promises to be an amazing adventure! We appreciate your partnership and look forward to seeing you at Open House next week!
Every day is a great day to be a Champion!
Jill Short
Principal

We hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful summer! We loved seeing pictures of our Champions enjoying summer learning. If your child(ren) completed their Brain Quest workbook, they can return the map that's inside to their teacher anytime in August for a special treat! If you would like to send us a picture of your child(ren) enjoying some summer learning, it's not too late. We'd love to see them! Send them to Kim at ksarfaty@forsyth.k12.ga.us. We are so excited to see our Champions back at school soon. ❤️💙
