Our Partners in Education support us in many ways. They volunteer in our classrooms, serve as experts for our Enrichment Clusters and Career Fair, and participate in our Guest Readers Day. They support teacher appreciation and student recognition efforts and make contributions to our family assistance fund. They also support our many PTA events and fundraisers.
We are a Professional Development School with the University of Georgia College of Education. We are working together, along with other schools in our district, to develop pre-service teachers, conduct research in the educational field, and provide professional learning and resources to school staff. As a Model 3 school, we have pre-service education classes taught on-site, several pre-service teachers placed at our school for practicum and student teaching experience, and have access to resources at UGA to help our school achieve at high levels.
