Your voice matters! Please join us for our Annual Stakeholders Meeting
It is that time of year when our school starts to look at data from this school year (2023-2024) and plan for the next school year (2024-2025). As part of this planning process, you will be invited to share your feedback about our school's Title I Parent and Family Engagement Policy, the School-Parent Compacts, and the use of Title I Parent and Family Engagement funds.

How Do I Know What My Child Should be Learning at Each Grade Level?
Georgia Standards of Excellence outline what is to be mastered at each grade level and within each subject. You can find information about the Georgia Standards of Excellence at the Georgia Department of Education website. This link will take you to georgiastandards.org. Easy to use icons will allow you to click on each subject area and review standards for each grade level. If you have questions about the Georgia Standards of Excellence, please talk with your child's teacher or call your child's school and make an appointment to speak with the school's parent liaison.

Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)
Advances equity by upholding critical protections for America's disadvantage and high-need students.
Requires that all students in America be taught to high academic standards that will prepare them to succeed in college and careers.
Ensures that vital information is provided to educators, families, students, and communities through annual statewide assessments that measure students' progress toward those high standards.
Maintains an expectation that there will be accountability and action to effect positive change in our lowest performing schools, where groups of students are not making progress and where graduation rates are low over extended periods of time
ESSA can be found on the U.S. Department of Education website at http://www.ed.gov/essa?src-rn
