Patriot's Pointe

Greetings Patriot Families,

We hope that your family remained warm and safe during our extended winter weather event. All students were given digital learning assignments to complete last week on Wednesday and Thursday. In order for students to be counted present for attendance, they must submit their assignments. Please check in with your student to ensure that all digital learning assignments have been submitted.

We have approached the time in the school year where course recommendations will be made for next year. Parents please speak with your child about their course selections for next year and encourage your child to take an active part in their education and challenge themselves by taking rigorous courses. Each student is encouraged to take Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate courses to prepare them for academic pursuits after high school.

Congratulations to our Governor's Honors winners who will participate in a summer program with students across the state: Christina Allen, Dylan Brooks, Catherine Brown, Gabrielle Ferguson, Nydia Lewis, Lucia Love, Grace McClenny, Moses Morano, and Parker Reese.

Our Swim team had a strong showing in the All County Championship on Saturday and we had several swimmers to PR during the meet. Last Monday, our marching band performed in the annual MLK, Jr. Parade that was held indoors at Fayette County High School. They represented very well despite the cold temperatures. Congratulations are in order to our Winter Guard who placed 3rd in the district competition over the weekend. A huge SCHS salute is in order for our new AFJROTC Cadet Commander Christopher Atkins. Finally, we wrapped up the weekend with a region win in Varsity Basketball for our men's and women's team. The Lady Patriots beat Whitewater 77-7 and the men's team defeated Whitewater 70-33. Please come out to support our student athletes in all of their academic and athletic endeavors.

We are excited to support our students in their academic endeavors while providing them with a Competitive Advantage!

My name is Anwar White, and I am excited to join the Sandy Creek High School family as an Assistant Principal. I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Johnson C. Smith University, a Master of Science in Exercise Science from California University of Pennsylvania, and my Educational Leadership Tier I Certification from Kennesaw State University. I am working toward my Educational Specialist degree and Tier II Certification in Educational Leadership from Kennesaw State University. My career in education started in the Dekalb County School District, where I spent 17 years serving as a middle and high school science teacher and MTSS Specialist while coaching football, golf, and track. I was then promoted to Assistant Principal with Henry County Schools.

I am a husband, father of three girls, and a proud native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I enjoy cooking, playing golf, and watching sports in my free time, especially football and the Philadelphia Eagles.

We have a rich tradition in athletics here at Sandy Creek with more than 10 State Championships in sports such as football, basketball, track, and volleyball.

Our scoreboard was built in 1991 and we are in need of a new board to match our dynamic and talented athletic teams. The vision at Sandy Creek High School is to provide students a competitive advantage in whatever endeavor they choose after high school. With your assistance we can help the students prepare for those endeavors while branding your business and supporting our community. Please view the information attached about the sponsorship and digital scoreboard.

About Notable Narratives:

NN is a 501 (c)(3) college essay service organization that provides completely free college essay editing services to first generation and/or low income (FGLI) high school seniors applying to college. We do this by pairing college applicants with FGLI college students, as having an advisor that comes from a similar background will allow students to feel more comfortable receiving help

Since our founding in August 2020:

• Our 90 FGLI college advisors have assisted over 1,750 students from 102 unique countries and all 50 states.

• 1 in 4 students who filled out our annual survey were accepted into an Ivy League or Stanford University.

• 94% of our students were BIPOC, and 50% identified as both first-generation and low-income.

We encourage you to read more about our impact through our Impact Report, website, and Instagram. We are excited to help even more students this year!

Next Steps:

Attached is a Registration Form for you to share with your students. NN’s services are available to those who self-identify as low income and/or first generation; students do not need to identify as both to apply. I will also be sending this resource to the SCHS counselors.

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.
