March 24, 2024--We are beginning week 13 of the second semester!
Dear Families,
We hope you've had a wonderfully productive week! It's been inspiring to witness the dedication and hard work of our community in fostering positive relationships with our students while striving for academic excellence. We're thrilled to share some fantastic news: TDA has achieved the highest MAP Reading Growth scores among all Dalton Public Schools! This incredible achievement is a testament to the relentless efforts of both our teachers and students. Together, we're reaching new heights and setting the bar for excellence. Let's continue to support and encourage one another on this remarkable journey.
All 10th and 11th graders received zoning letters last week. This letter is very important. Each family should review the letter. This letter will inform you about your child's enrollment for next year. Note, your child might *NOT be zoned for The Dalton Academy. Should you want your child to remain enrolled at TDA, you will need to secure transportation AND complete the application form. Details are below.
Please reach out to our front office with any questions related to transportation zones for the high schools.
Take notes of some key events coming up before the end of the year!
🏅 Underclassmen Awards Ceremony: Mark your calendars for Wednesday, May 15th, at 6 pm at Hammond Creek Middle School auditorium.
