Ms. Bell's Briefings

Thank you to all of the parent volunteers who were able to join our students at JA Biztown. The students had a fun and educational day, and that could not happen without the help of volunteers.

This week is a very busy week for our students as they get to show us what they have learned so far this year. Interim testing (Midterms) will take place on Monday and Tuesday followed by the Gwinnett Writes Assessment on Friday. Gwinnett Writes serves as the Midterm for Language Arts.

Wednesday and Thursday are Early Release Days. Students will be dismissed at 1:15 both days. First priority for Parent/Teacher Conferences on these days are reserved for students who are not currently meeting promotion requirements. If you did not receive an invitation to a conference on these days but would still like one, please contact your child's homeroom teacher to schedule a meeting on a different day.

As your school counselor, I want to make sure I’m supporting you in the best way possible. This short survey will help me understand what topics and types of support matter most to you.
