School-Wide News

Dear Parents,

Please see the news below:

  • Friday Events:  Tomorrow, Friday, November 13 will be Smoothie Sale Day in the Cafe from 7:20-7:50.  Muffins with Mavity will be held in the cafe at 8:30!
  • Thanksgiving Rotations:  We are having Thanksgiving rotations next Friday, November 20th from 8:45-10:30.  Meredith Doyle has volunteered to be one of our parent volunteers, but we would love to have at least one more!  If you are able to assist, please e-mail Mrs. Kidd!
  • Scholastic Book Fair is NEXT WEEK:  “The Scholastic Book Fair starts Monday November 16th! There will be thousands of books to choose from.  We would love to give students from our sister school Fair Oaks the opportunity to enjoy these wonderful books. Please consider supporting our One 4 Books campaign to raise funds to send books to Fair Oaks by sending loose change and small donations to school throughout this week.  Family Night at the Book Fair will be Tuesday November 17th from 6 to 8pm.  There will be face painting, tattoos, and more! A ‘monstrous’ time will be had by all! Check the Media Center blog for hours and additional information.”
  • Georgia Parent Survey:  The Georgia Parent Survey is also modeled after the student survey and contains 24 questions. Parents may complete the survey using their personal computer, smartphones or tablet.  For parents that do not have access to the Internet, school administrators should consider scheduling dates and times to allow parents to complete the Georgia Parent Survey at school.  All parents should be encouraged to participate in the Georgia Parent Survey because the data will be used as part of the calculation of the School Climate Star Rating. Survey responses are anonymous and will be submitted directly to the Georgia Department of Education for analysis.  Individual data results from the Georgia Parent Survey will not be available to the public and will not be posted online.  The URL address for the Georgia Parent Survey is posted below.
