Welcome December!

Dear Atholton Families,


I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving that was safe and healthy for everyone involved. The newsletter will be short this week as we are returning from an extended break.


Believe it or not, the arrival of December marks the beginning of the end of the first semester! Counselors and teachers are beginning to think about recommendations for the second semester. In addition, parents/guardians of, and students in grades 8-10 are invited to attend a virtual information session on the HCPSS Career and Technology Education Career Academies. Participants will learn how CTE Career Academies provide high school students with opportunities to earn college credit, scholarships, and industry certifications, participate in worksite and mentorship experiences, and become creative problem solvers by participating in hands-on project-based learning.


Each evening, all Applications and Research Laboratory (ARL) academies will be presenting to share additional information and to answer questions. Please register in advance for the Academy information sessions you are interested in attending. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

For more information and to register, please go to the following link-

Lastly, we are in the process of planning a first-quarter Honor Roll Virtual Celebration for our students. Please stay tuned for more information as we seek to celebrate our academic scholars!


Wishing you all a safe and productive week!


Warmest Regards,


Robert A. Motley
