Hello parents! Just a reminder that this Wednesday August 30 is an early release day. Dismissal for special education buses will start at 12:15 and the rest of the dismissal is at 12:30.
This week we will continue with last weeks standards as we did not get to cover everything. I will also continue Brigance testing and will have your child's results to you as soon as it is complete.
Thank you for all your continued support and I am looking forward to another great week of learning and fun!

Hello! As you know, tomorrow we will be experiencing the solar eclipse! We will be watching the eclipse live broadcast as it comes through Atlanta. We will be discussing the eclipse and making an eclipse model for the the students to take home and share what they learned. Here is some information on tomorrow for the eclipse from the county:
Last week was such a great week of learning! Here are the standards we will be covering next week:
Kindergarten standards to be taught this week:
Reading and writing: Fundations Unit 1/week 1: letters n and m
Math: Saxon math week one focuses on months of the year, days of the week, and shapes. We will also be writing numbers 0-10 and counting to 50 by ones
Science/Social Studies: The Eclipse and taking care of our bodies/health
First grade standards to be taught this week:
Reading and writing: Fundations Unit/week 2: continue to review letters t,b,f,n,m,c,a,i,r by forming letters and practicing the sounds they make/beginning sight words (from the Dolch list in your child's folder, first 5 words)
Math: Saxon math week two continues to focus on shapes and positional words. We will also count to 120 by ones, understand two digits represent tens and ones, and dimes
Science/Social Studies: The eclipse and taking care of our bodies/health
Second grade standards to be taught this week

Due to the solar eclipse on August 21, 2017, the Cobb County School District will delay dismissal of elementary, middle and high school students by 45 minutes.
The peak time to experience the solar eclipse falls during our regularly scheduled elementary school dismissal time. Since student safety is always our first priority we will start the day on time and delay dismissal to ensure that neither students nor employees are on the roadways during the time of the eclipse.
Schools will be provided with further guidance and instructional resources as appropriate. Parents are welcome to pick-up their child at the typical dismissal time if needed.
For more information regarding the solar eclipse visit the National Weather Service at http://www.weather.gov/sgf/SolarEclipse.
