Panther Weekly

Our boys soccer team defeated Oconee County last night (April 14)on the road. Senior captain Paul McDonald scored the first goal in the first half. Man of the Match, Andres Vera scored the second goal in the second half to secure the win. Your Panthers are on the road again on Thursday to face Riverwood.

The girls soccer team traveled to Watkinsville last night to take on the back-to-back-to-back AAA state champion Oconee County, currently ranked #10 in the nation and lost 3-2 in a hard fought game. Christine Ngulefac led the way with a goal and an assist, while freshmen Morgan Mitchell added a goal and freshman Jael Coryell added an assist. The girls will take on the 4th ranked team in the nation this Thursday at Riverwood. Great test before playoffs begin on April 23.

As the school year winds down, we want to share a few reminders about parking on campus and visitors to campus.

Only vehicles with a parking decal may park in the numbered spots on campus. You must have a tag or you will be ticketed. Parents and students, please be aware that empty parking spots in the lots does not mean that it is open for anyone to park in. All of our parking spaces have been purchased for the year and assigned to students. We have students who leave campus because of different class schedules, so they may not be parked in the spot 1st period, but they need their spot to be available to them when they return to campus. Students, if someone is parked in your spot, please scan the QR code that is on the signs in the parking lot and report it there.
Afternoon Carpool is only on one side of campus. Please only use the entrance by Building A. Please help us keep afternoon pickup running smoothly. No cars should be driving up Panther Drive (the stadium side of campus) during dismissal. We are doing our best to get all buses off of campus and on to their next routs as fast as possible and this side of campus is strictly for our special education bus traffic and where we are directing students out of the student lot.
Visitors to campus: Please park in the visitors parking spots located in the second lot on the left when you are on Panther Drive or in the Visitor Spaces in front of Building A. If you park in a numbered spot, please inform us when you check in. ALL VISITORS MUST CHECK IN AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE BEFORE ENTERING THE SCHOOL.

Georgia Milestones/ End-of-Course Assessments

We are preparing for the Georgia Milestones / End-of-Course Assessments (EOCs). Students enrolled in the courses below will take the required EOC.

The Georgia Milestones are administered at the end of an EOC course to provide information about the student’s achievement in the course. These are state required assessments. For EOCs, the test contributes to a percentage of the student’s final grade in the course. Our EOC courses are Biology, Algebra: Concepts and Connections, Literature and Composition II, and U.S. History.

For more information please visit Georgia DOE – Milestones.

EOC Testing Schedule:

Monday, April 27th – Literature and Composition II EOC Section 1
Tuesday, April 28th – Literature and Composition II EOC Sections 2 & 3
Wednesday, April 29th – Algebra: Concepts & Connections EOC Sections 1 & 2
Thursday, April 30th – U.S. History EOC Sections 1 & 2
Friday, May 1st – Biology EOC Sections 1 & 2

EOCs will be given online. Students must bring their GCPS issued Chromebook (charged) and a charger.

Please be sure to attend school and be on time for school for these testing days.

Thank you,
