Patriot's Pointe

Greetings Patriot Families,

I hope everyone enjoyed the Fall Break and some much needed rest before we return tomorrow and finish strong for the final stretch of the semester. 9 Week progress reports were issued in Infinite Campus on Friday, October 9th. If you have not looked at your scholars progress report please do so this week and request to meet with teachers and conference with them on how we can partner together to improve academic performance.

We will celebrate the academic achievements of our scholars who made the honor roll during the Spring semester of 2026 on Friday, October 23rd at 8am in the gym lobby. Our students will be recognized with a certificate of achievement and a reward sponsored by our PTSO.

🥎 Softball: Congratulations to Coach Chisolm and our varsity softball team for making it to the first round of the state playoffs. Unfortunately, our season came to an end against Monroe Area but our girls deserve recognition as this is their first playoff appearance since winning the region in 2023 and the first appearance for Coach Chisolm since taking over as our head coach.

🏐 Volleyball: Congratulations to Coach Rutherford and our varsity volleyball team. This is Coach Rutherford’s first season with the Lady Patriots and we are confident that he will continue to build on the accomplishments from this season.

🏈 JV Football: Congratulations to Coach Godfrey and our JV Football team for winning the JV championship! Our team had a stellar season and a great performance over Griffin High School to win 30-21 in the final game!

Please come out and support our student athletes at home this week. A schedule of all of our events can be found further down in our "Weekly Happenings" section.

Here’s to a powerful start and a year where we will Do Hard Things!

We are excited to support our students in their academic endeavors while providing them with a Competitive Advantage!

La hora límite para la salida de estudiantes es a las 3:15. No se harán excepciones después de esta hora.

At Sandy Creek High School, we are committed to creating a learning environment where every student can thrive. To support a strong and focused start to the school year, students may not use personal electronic devices including cell phones, earbuds/headphones, Meta glasses, smart watches, or similar devices, during the school day. This expectation applies in all areas of the building, including classrooms, hallways, the cafeteria, gym/locker rooms, and restrooms. By minimizing distractions and maximizing opportunities for engagement, we are helping our students build meaningful connections, remain present in their learning, and begin the year with the habits that lead to success. We appreciate your partnership and support as we work together to provide every student with a positive learning experience.

The Parent Square app is available in the App Store and Google Play.

The Campus Parent portal is your source for student and family records, including household and individual contact information, attendance, school-based fees, academic planning (high school), forms, and report cards. The Parent portal also provides access to the GaDOE SLDS Portal. Please set up the parent Infinite Campus account first. The same username will be shared with Schoology to set up your parent account in Schoology. Because each login reflects the person associated with the username, it is recommended that a separate account is created for each parent.

• Usernames can be comprised of letters, numbers, the underscore, and dash.
• Please refrain from creating a username that is all numbers, as that will interfere with student data here in our district.
• After completing the setup of your parent portal account, please allow 24 hours for your new account information to be sent to Schoology before attempting to log into your Schoology parent account.

We have a rich tradition in athletics here at Sandy Creek with more than 10 State Championships in sports such as football, basketball, track, and volleyball.

Our scoreboard was built in 1991 and we are in need of a new board to match our dynamic and talented athletic teams. The vision at Sandy Creek High School is to provide students a competitive advantage in whatever endeavor they choose after high school. With your assistance we can help the students prepare for those endeavors while branding your business and supporting our community. Please view the information attached about the sponsorship and digital scoreboard.

We would like to recognize our FIRST Family Sponsor, The Harvey Family! The Harvey Family has donated $1,000 to our scoreboard fundraiser and we are hoping you can match or double their contribution soon! Who will be next to accept the challenge????

SCHS hopes that your company would be interested in becoming a premier sponsor for our digital scoreboard program!
