PARENTS - We Would Love Your Input!
Parents, please complete the Ga Climate Survey by December 19, 2025 by navigating to https://survey.gadoe.org/FM?sid=11FA203A.
To ensure that all students have the opportunity to perform their best on their exams, there will be no student check-outs allowed during the final exam window. This procedure is necessary to minimize disruptions and maintain the integrity of the testing process. We understand that unexpected circumstances can arise, but we kindly request that appointments and other obligations be scheduled outside of this critical period. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
Notes From the Counseling Canopy
Credit Recovery will be offered on 12/19 and 12/20 in the SKG Library. Please register on My Payments Plus. The cost is $50.
