The Panther's Press

Hello Fantastic Wadsworth Families!

I have just purchased this newsletter system known as Smore. After your inabilities to open our publication along with Mrs. Lynch's inabilities to give you access, we contacted instructional technology to learn that SWAY (a part of our Microsoft suite of tools; free tools) is now only available to our internal organization. Therefore, I am now using Smore. Bear with us please as we begin to sojourn this platform to get information to you each week. Virtual prizes and high five's to all the Mom's and Dad's out there who shared the message that The Panther's Press was giving them fits. Hopefully, Smore will be our answer.

With that behind us, last week was a full one, a great one! After a week out of school, our scholars returned to us on fire. I can speak for the classes I conducted and I have no doubt for other classes in our school. You will need to know that we received communication that our Georgia Milestones Testing Calendar HAS changed. Please take note of these changes below.

As you take note of the changes to the end of grade assessment calendar, please take in some of the other information that I have copied from the old platform so that you are able to see the information here in the Smore. Hopefully, I will not have missed copying any information.

Hopefully, we all have been able to take in some of this great sunshine!

Yours in service,

Soar...

Dear Parent or Guardian,

Wadsworth Magnet School for High Achievers will take the new Georgia School Climate Survey this year. Each parent or guardian is invited to take the family version to answer questions about the current school or schools you have a child or children attending. If two or more children attend the same school, please only complete one survey for that school.

The survey measures what you think about how the school engages with families. Answers are not linked to names in any way. When typing answers, please do not give names or information that you don’t want to share with this school. Data will be shared with school leaders to help improve the school and will be published on the GaDOE website.

Please help by sharing your honest opinion on this 22-question survey. To take the survey, please click the link: https://survey.gadoe.org/FM?sid=67733FEF
