Dear Parents and Guardians,

Your voice matters! Help us create a safe, supportive, and thriving environment for our students by participating in the Georgia School Climate Survey.

This quick, anonymous survey gathers feedback on our school’s learning environment, safety, relationships, and overall climate. Your insights directly influence decisions to improve programs, policies, and culture—and impact school ratings with the State of Georgia.

Please take a few moments to complete the survey by March 31, 2025. Access it here: Ga School Climate Family Survey.pdf

Please respond as your participation directly impacts your school ratings with the State of Georgia.

Thank you for your partnership in making our school the best it can be!

• Students must be accompanied by a parent of guardian to attend all home and away middle school sporting events. Please refrain from dropping students off without an adult. Students found without an adult will be asked to call home and not allowed to attend future events.
• Due to the capacity of our gymnasium, we will limit ticket sales for all home games to 250. The link for purchasing tickets can be found on our school website. Remember, we will not sell tickets at the door.

As we approach the upcoming holidays, it important to remind parents and families that candy, desserts, baked goods (store bought/homemade), or any other edible items are not to be sold or distributed at school or on the bus unless approved in advance by school administration. Please discuss this expectation and possible consequences with your scholar.

Students are not allowed to bring Valentine's Day Candy or Balloons on Campus. Please remember, balloons are a distraction to the learning environment.

Students are required to utilize their AVID Notebook in all content and connections classes to organize their class materials to include notes, graded assignments, and other activities. Please remind students to bring their notebooks to class everyday!🙂
