Slice of Summer
June 9, 2023

Message from Ms. Smith
Hello Hawks!
We are only 4 weeks from the first day of school! I don't know if that makes you excited or a little sad, but I cannot wait. The building is quiet without students and staff. Mr. Sal has been busy making sure everything is perfect for the first day of school. We have a nice shine on things from top to bottom. We still have a lot to do in order to be ready for the first day of school. There is plenty of volunteer opportunities still available over the summer. We have painting, first day folder prep, bulletin boards, and much more than you can help with. Please reach out to Ashley Russ for more details. Her email address is: ashleyruss88@gmail.com. She is looking to find volunteers to help finish the work in preparation for the best year yet!
Thank you for all that have offered to help with a club. Please share the interest form with anyone in the community. We would love to offer a club for every day of the week.
Enjoy your weekend!
Sincerely,
AJ Smith

Dress Code
Students are expected to dress and groom themselves in such a way as to reflect neatness, cleanliness and safety. All students shall dress appropriately so as to not interfere with the educational program or the orderly operation of the school as stated in the Fulton County Policy Manual. Examples of inappropriate dress and grooming include: no shoes, skirts/dresses exposing more than the leg, bare midriffs, tank tops, see-through clothing/apparel, clothing that contains images of drug paraphernalia and/or indicate gang affiliation, and any dress that is disruptive to the educational process.
We align to the practices of Elkins Pointe Middle School. Please use the graphic to determine what students are expected to cover while on campus.
Personal Communication Devices
Personal Communication Devices (PCDs)
The use of Personal Communication Devices (PCDs) during the school day is not allowed in grades Pre-K through 5. If students choose to wear a smart watch it is not allowed to be used as a PCD, but only to tell time.
If a student violates this rule which leads to the student’s personal communication device being confiscated by school personnel, it will only be released to the parent who must come to the school to personally retrieve the device.
If students use a PCD during school hours, school personnel will follow the given:
· 1st Offense: Reminder of expectation; parent communication
· 2nd Offense: School personnel will confiscate PCD and send home with student at dismissal; parent communication
· 3rd Offense: School personnel will confiscate PCD and require device pick up from school by parent
· 4th Offense: Admin will complete Discipline Referral
Toys and Non-School Related Items
Toys and Non-School Related Items
Students should not bring toys, games, playing card, or other non-instructional related items to school. They cause distractions and upset classroom routine and order. Such items may be collected by the teacher or administration and returned to the parent upon request.
