Georgia Early Literacy Legislation 📖
Recently, the state of Georgia has introduced new early literacy legislation aimed at improving reading skills among our young learners. We want to make sure you are fully informed about what this means for your child.
Please review the letter linked below for details. In the next few weeks, all parents and guardians of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade students will receive an email sharing screening results.

Attendance Incentives ⏰
Did you know that poor attendance in early elementary can impact whether a child is able to read proficiently by the end of 3rd grade? By 6th grade chronic absence becomes the leading indicator that a student will drop out of high school.
We are excited about continuing to focus on attendance this school year by celebrating those students who come to school, on time, each and every day that they are healthy. Our first raffle will be in just a few weeks!
