Hello. My name is Kristi Plunkett and I am an EIP teacher here at Park Street. EIP stands for Early Intervention Program. The overall goal of the Early Intervention Program is to provide additional instructional resources to help learners meet grade-level expectations. To be eligible for EIP support students need two qualifiers: 1 score below 30% in reading and/or math on MAP and 2 score below 15 on an EIP checklist in reading or below 9 in math. If your child qualifies you will receive a letter in the next week or so.

In this video, parents will learn about the mathematics concepts and skills that their student will learn in kindergarten. Parents will learn about the important role that the mathematical practices play as students learn to count and begin to use numbers to solve problems, investigate geometric shapes, begin to make sense of measurement, and investigate data.

Attendance Policy... Attendance Policy...

Attendance is a critical component to the success of an elementary student. If an unavoidable

situation necessitates an absence, the parent must notify the school office in writing within 2 school days of the student’s return.


An excused absence means that your child is absent for a legitimate reason, for example, personal illness, illness or death in the family, religious holiday, court appointment, quarantine, or conditions rendering school attendance hazardous to health and safety. All other absences will be

considered unexcused. Georgia Law requires school action after five unexcused absences or ten tardies. The process begins with parent notification.


Students are tardy after 8:30 a.m. A parent must sign the student in at the office if arriving after

8:30 a.m. A student is counted present for the day if he/she arrives at or before 8:30 a.m. and stays until at least 11:55 a.m. or arrives before 11:55 a.m. and stays until 3:15 p.m. Partial attendance of a day is considered a tardy. Good attendance is vital to the academic success of students.


● After three parental excuse notes in a semester, parents must submit documentation

from a physician explaining the student's absence.

● If documentation from a doctor is not provided after three parental excuse notes in a semester,

subsequent absences will be marked as unexcused.

● Excessive absences can result in the intervention of the school social worker.
