Very Important per Dr. Scherer - You must update your attendance daily and enter excuses the day they come in. Power School now is seen live by the GADOE and can be checked any day, any time for updates. If you have excuses that have not been entered, please take care of that ASAP. Also, we have had some errors in our 20 day reports. YOU MUST CAREFULLY CHECK YOUR TWENTY DAY REPORTS FOR ACCURACY. Birthdays, SS#'s, gender, ethnic, and spelling must be verified under penalty of law and a large fine. Be sure your attendance cards match what is in the computer. PLEASE TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY.

FYI for Honor Roll (decided by
Leadership Team in July)
Honor roll eligibility will be determined according to the following criteria:
Students in grades 1-5 earn “honor roll†status if they have a minimum of 4 A’s and 1 B in the major subjects (Reading, Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies). Students must also earn a Satisfactory grade in PE, Music, Art, Computer and Health. Honor roll students can have no C’s or F’s, and must earn an S in Citizenship.
Students in grades K can be named to the “Principal’s List†by earning all M’s in the academic areas and S’s/E’s in the special areas classes. They must also earn an S in citizenship.
We will also implement another category this year: A student earns A/B honor roll by having an 80 or above in each subject area and E or S in citizenship and specials, no N’s or U’s in any area.
- Benchmark testing during computer times or as scheduled. Assigned paras will be in the lab all day.

I have ordered visitor parking and staff

the flag or the extra spaces to the right of
the flag. Parking in the spaces in front of
"A" wing will be reserved for those who go

The group from the BOE came to look at our
schedules, class sizes, and school
improvement plan yesterday. Everything went
well and I was so glad that we were able to
keep all of our teachers. The only thing I
was worried about was that we would lose two
teachers due to the number of students, but
they were OK with the numbers.
Please
