MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Greetings Titans,
Congratulations to the Elkins Pointe Music Department on performing at the Busch Gardens Tampa Music Competition this past weekend. Excellent job to Band Director Mr. Wilson, Assistant Band Director Carley Patch, Chorus Director Mrs. Fallis, Orchestra Director Mr. Gamba, and the 7th-grade and 8th-grade students for their outstanding performances!
Band: 1st Place Division AA, Excellent Rating, and 1st Place Overall Middle School Band, All Divisions.
Chorus: 1st Place Division AA, Superior Rating
Orchestra: 1st Place Division AA, Superior Rating
This week is the Georgia Milestones Testing for all grades. Please ensure that your child fully charges their laptop each night and that they bring the computer and charger to school each day. Eating breakfast and getting a good night's sleep is critical to students being adequately fueled for the tests. To reduce stress, please inform your students that the tests are a benchmark and that your child has been prepared. Ask them to do their best and give positive messages!
Thanks for all you do!
Damian Bounds
Principal of Elkins Pointe Middle School
"Every Day, Every Student, College & Career Bound: Go Titans!"
