A/AB Honors Ceremony
Please join Ms. Tolbert on Tuesday, November 27th at 6:30pm in the cafeteria to celebrate students who earned all As or all As and Bs in the first quarter grading period. We are extremely proud of our students and their accomplishments! Students will be receiving their invitations at school on Monday.
Progress Reports
Progress reports went home with students last week. They provide the 4.5 week notice of how your child is progressing in their classes for this quarter. If you have questions or concerns about your child's grades, please reach out to your child's teacher(s) - a full 6th grade faculty contact list is provided at the bottom of this blog. Please check Parent Portal frequently so that we can address any academic concerns early! If you would like your child to receive extra help, PSP meets after school on Mondays and Tuesdays, and transportation is provided! Please contact Ms. Ward (wardt@clarke.k12.ga.us) if you're interested or want more information.
Can-A-Thon
As we approach the holiday season, the 6th grade team is partnering with the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia to hold a canned food drive. We will be competing by homerooms to see who can raise the most canned foods, and the winning homeroom will receive a pizza party! The Can-A-Thon will last until the end of the month, and a flyer was sent home with students with more information.
Family Education Series
Our Family Educations Series will continue on Wednesday November 28th, 2018 at 6:00pm in the cafeteria. This month's program is about Healthy Meals on a Budget! Dinner will be provided!
