6th Grade News: December 9-13, 2019

General News

Quarterly Newsletter from Principal Douglass
Here is the link to the first of what will be a quarterly newsletter from Mrs. Douglass. Moving forward, please continue to enjoy this quarterly newsletter which will provide you with school-wide updates, recognitions, and inspiration about our Panthers!

Time for a Panther Party! Friday, December 13 will be our 1st ever Panther Party! Details can be viewed here: Panther Party Presentation

Hilsman Health Center is now open! The Hilsman Health Center is now officially open! In order for students to be served, they need to have a parent/guardian fill out a consent form and return it to Nurse Caitlyn. Once the form is returned, we can schedule an appointment. If students have their consent form signed (and on file) and we get verbal permission, our nurses can walk students to the Health Center while they're at school if it's for urgent care (fever, asthma visit, etc.). Otherwise, it operates like a regular doctor's office! They currently do not have a phone number (they're working on it!), but appointments can still be made through the Athens Neighborhood Health Center. They are also taking walk-in visits for the time being! Have any questions? Send Nurse Caitlyn an email at kurishc@clarke.k12.ga.us. News from the AVID Coordinator Monday 12/16 College and Career T-Shirt Day Students and staff are encouraged to wear a college or career t-shirt and uniform bottoms. Please make sure college or career is visible, as solid colors shirts are not permitted. If you do not wish to participate, please be in regular school uniform.
