Happy Sunday Patriot Families!
Greetings Patriot Families,
Many teachers are using ParentSquare to send out communication to families, so if you haven't joined ParentSquare please do so today. Information on how to sign up for ParentSquare is featured further down this week's newsletter. You can also preview the SCHS school calendar on the ParentSquare platform to stay informed of all events happening at The Creek.
This week we will be celebrating all things Sandy Creek with our Jenkins Road Jam and Pep-Rally to recognize and celebrate all Fall Sports. This event will be a tailgate like atmosphere that is free for our families and feeder schools. We will have bounce houses, face painting, games, and food truck vendors on hand. We hope you will join us and bring your family for this fun pre-game event from 4:15pm-6:45pm on Friday, August 25, 2023.
We are encouraging your support in all things happening at The Creek and there is something for everyone! Softball, Football, and Volleyball continue their winning streak so please lend your support to these student athletes by attending a game.
We are excited to support our students in their academic endeavors while providing them with a competitive advantage!

Clinic News
***Attention parents of 11th grade students and New enrollees***
Effective July 1, 2023, children 16 years of age and older, who are entering the 11th grade (including new entrants), must have received one booster dose of the meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4), unless their initial dose was administered on or after their 16th birthday. These Immunization records are due on or Before Sept 5, 2023. Your child will not be permitted to stay enrolled in school if these records are not provided.
If you are new to the area and do not have a healthcare provider, all vaccines can be updated by making an appointment at the Fayette County Health Department:
104 West Stonewall Ave Suite 107, Fayetteville, GA 30214 Ph: 770-305-5416
Health Care Plans
If your student has a severe allergy, asthma, cardiac condition, diabetes, seizures or other health condition which may require medication or special care during school hours, we recommend you and your healthcare provider complete and sign a Health Care Plan which is available on the website or from your school nurse. Any student returning to school after surgery or a hospitalization is required to present from their healthcare provider a “Release to Return to School” and instructions for care (such as Discharge Instructions) including PE modifications and the use of crutches or a wheelchair and/or other medical devices or supplies (i.e., gloves, masks) provided by the parent/guardian.
Student Parking passes are available all year for $60 and should be displayed in the bottom corner of the driver's side windshield.

* ALL STUDENTS MUST HAVE THEIR PARKING PERMITS DISPLAYED IN THEIR VEHICLES ON OR BEFORE SEPT 4TH. STUDENTS WILL BE TICKETED IF NOT DISPLAYED AFTER THIS TIME. *
Please register your vehicle and apply for a permit to avoid an obligation. This obligation will interfere with your ability to purchase and attend other school related events such as the Homecoming dance, Prom and graduation activities.

Student Advisory Council
As the 2023-2024 school year begins across our great state, it is time once again to seek applications for my Student Advisory Council. These students will meet with me four times throughout the school year to discuss the impact of state policies in the classroom and other education-related issues.
The primary goal of my Student Advisory Council is to provide a voice for students across Georgia to share their perceptions and ideas, and every year, they serve as a valuable resource as I make decisions that impact students across the state. I enjoy meeting and learning about each council member. Their feedback, opinions, and perspectives provide insight for me and the Georgia Department of Education leadership and staff to make the best possible policy choices.
Georgia students are all unique, and we want them all to have an opportunity to be a part of the conversation. Please encourage any 10th- through 12th-grade students who are interested in participating to apply to join the 2023-2024 State School Superintendent's Student Advisory Council. I have included the application instructions below. If you or your students have questions, please email students@doe.k12.ga.us.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Click here for the 2023-2024 Student Advisory Council application. Applications must be submitted by September 8, 2023, at 5 p.m. Late applications will not be accepted.
Students in grades 10-12 enrolled in a public high school (including charter schools and virtual students) are eligible to apply.
Selected students will be contacted via email. All students may visit gadoe.org/studentadvisory on September 26, 2023, at 10 a.m. to determine if they have been selected.
Please note that we typically receive hundreds more applications than we can accept. Not being selected for the Student Advisory Council does not mean the student's application did not meet the qualifications.
Sincerely,
Richard Woods

The Campus Parent portal is your source for student and family records, including household and individual contact information, attendance, school-based fees, academic planning (high school), forms, and report cards. The Parent portal also provides access to the GaDOE SLDS Portal. Please set up the parent Infinite Campus account first. The same username will be shared with Schoology to set up your parent account in Schoology. Because each login reflects the person associated with the username, it is recommended that a separate account is created for each parent.
- Usernames can be comprised of letters, numbers, the underscore, and dash.
- Please refrain from creating a username that is all numbers, as that will interfere with student data here in our district.
- After completing the setup of your parent portal account, please allow 24 hours for your new account information to be sent to Schoology before attempting to log into your Schoology parent account.
Get started with Infinite Campus
The Infinite Campus app is available in the App Store and Google Play.
