The Athens Animal Shelter has placed an angel tree in our front lobby. Please scan the QR code on the back of the tag to see the animal's wish list.

Please be mindful of the stop sign at the corner of Minuteman and Brookhill Drive. I have received several complaints from residents of Town Creek Trails. There is a new crosswalk for them to walk to school and this can be very dangerous.

Parents and Guardians,

We have many lost items since our last purge this summer. Items are in the hallway by the gym.

Make a copy of the form and send it back to school or scan and return electronically.

WATCH D.O.G.S.

WATCH D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students) is an innovative father involvement and educational initiative of the National Center for Fathering. There are two primary goals of the WATCH D.O.G.S. program:

1) To provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important.

2) To provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security.

Who Are WatchDOGS?

WatchDOGS are fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and other father-figures who volunteer for one day each year at an official WATCH D.O.G.S. school. During the day, WatchDOGS may read and work on flash cards with students, play at recess, eat lunch with students, watch the school entrances and hallways, assist with traffic flow and any other assigned activities where they actively engage with not only their own students, but other students as well.

Program Benefits

• Fathers get a glimpse of their students’ everyday world and learn about the increasingly complex challenges and decisions today’s youth are facing.
• Fathers gain a greater awareness of the positive impact they can have on their student’s life.
• Students gain positive male role models.
• Schools gain an extra set of eyes and ears.

When the background check is complete you will receive an email link

Physical Education Reminders:

• wear tennis shoes
• wear appropriate clothing (shorts under dresses)
• no water bottles allowed in PE (unless medically required)
• a parent note to sit out of exercise is good for 3 days

First Priority is an opportunity, made available by local youth clergy, in which our students have the opportunity to celebrate and grow in understanding of the gospel. We will meet monthly on the first Wednesday of the month at 7:15 in the gym. Attendance is elective.
