Welcome to Screven Elementary – Home of the Pirates! I
hope each child comes home talking about how great their school is and how
wonderful their teachers are this year. I encourage you to ask your student
each day to tell you something they learned at school or maybe even about a new
friend. This increases their learning rate and also makes the family stronger.
Our staff works diligently night and day to ensure that your child has a first
rate educational experience. As we strive for academic excellence I challenge
you to be apart of this experience as well. We are becoming a standards based
educational community and we invite you to be apart of this effort. The web
site below will allow you to look at and see what your student is to accomplish
while in their respective grade level this year.
http://www.georgiastandards.org/ I encourage you to go to this page and look under parent information and you can see the brochures that inform you about the standards being taught in each grade level. I strongly recommend that you visit this site and become familiar with the standards. My goals are that our school continues to hold high academic and behavioral expectations for students and for ourselves. As a community, we will further these goals by working together to establish a culture of shared beliefs and values, communicating openly with students, staff, parents, central office and the community and providing quality instruction that is based on current research and best practices. Please come by and be apart of this new beginning we are all experiencing! Dr. Mark Priester |
