There's one more opportunity to sign up for Kindergarten Round-Up. The make-up day is May 12th. Call the school at 706-654-2044 to make an appointment.
We had a successful week of Georgia Milestones testing last week with 3rd and 5th grades! This week, 4th grade will be testing. Please try to avoid checking your child out or scheduling appointments during these days. While make-up days are built into the testing window, students perform better when they test in their regular learning environment.
