Greetings Generals,

It's hard to believe that it is March. Where has the time gone. The next few months will be very busy. Please see below for important information about Kindergarten Registration, Career Day, and The Georgia Milestones Assessment. Let's finish the year strong!!!

Generals Salute!

Georgia Milestones Assessment (GMAS)

• Students in 3rd-5th grade will take the Georgia Milestones Assessment this year.
• The purpose of this assessment is to measure student achievement of the grade level standards and inform efforts to improve teaching and learning.
• Results from the assessment are utilized to identify students failing to achieve mastery of content and to provide us with feedback about our instructional practices.

• The Georgia Milestone testing window opens on April 21st. The Georgia Milestones EOG Schedule for 3rd-5th grade is attached below.
• It is very important that all 3rd-5th grade students come to school each day on time during the testing window.
• Please click on the link below to access Study/Resource Guides for the Georgia Milestones. These guides are intended to serve as a resource for parents and students.
