It's crucial that ALL students have their student ID cards to ride the school bus. This is a new requirement that we believe will enhance the safety and security of our transportation system.

Thank you in advance for your support, implementation, and dedication to ensuring all students are ready. Transportation will be on the ground at your schools to assist with scanning.

*Please encourage parents to download the My Ride K-12 app. The app provides real-time transportation information.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Johnson.

Unit 4: Numerical Reasoning and Using Addition and Subtraction in my life.

Students will explore the operations of addition and subtraction and use addition and subtraction to solve problems within 10 from real-life where the result or total is unknown. They will represent the situations in various ways using objects, fingers, drawings, expressions, or equations. Students will solve problems they create by generating questions and gathering information. Students will use a variety of strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems within 10. Students will identify and describe patterns with addition of numbers. Students will identify and extend patterns with numbers and shapes. As they have conversations about their days, they will describe patterns related to time from real-life (yesterday, today, tomorrow).

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.

All students are expected to be in uniform. Fridays "Spirit Days" are the only days students should be out of uniform, on these days, students are still expected to wear Marietta/Park Street gear and be weather and school appropriate.

Reminder that all students should be wearing tennis shoes every day.
