Good Afternoon Families!
Hats off to all of the students that received an 80% or higher on their binder checks this week! It was great seeing all of the smiles as well as watching our students feel successful! As we have greeted students in the morning, we have observed more than 95% of our students prepared for learning. This is great! We are working to shift the mindset of our students to believe and know that they can go beyond the city of Athens and be successful. We are holding every student accountable for their learning while promoting academic excellence. Thank you parents for joining us! We encourage you to perform your own binder and assignment checks! We are striving to to have 100% of our students prepared to learn! When they are prepared with the necessary tools to learn they are more likely to engage in their learning, yielding academic progress! Our students are truly working hard! Let us continue to encourage them to stay focused, be respectful, be responsible, and to be a leader!
This is a reminder that we are out school Monday. Enjoy your time!
Thanks,
Principal Tolbert
Announcements

I am attaching the letter that
I sent yesterday through Parent Link. Thank you for your continued patience and
support. Parent Link is the primary source of information for parents. This is
also known as Parent Portal. You can get connected by visiting CCSD’s website.
I strongly encouraged you to sign up for Parent Portal as this is also a great
way to be in the know about your child’s academic status!
