Donations for upcoming 3rd Grade Project Based Unit
Our 3rd graders will be starting their project-based unit called "Being Green." Students will be studying on how recycling can help the environment and also be creative with recyclable materials.
Our 3rd-grade teachers are in need of plastic bottle tops. The bottle tops will be used as a part of the students' art design they will create as a part of their unit. Please send in your bottle tops and mark them for 3rd grade. We greatly appreciate your help with our 3rd grader's upcoming unit on "Beng Green."

STANDARDS BASED ASSESSMENT & REPORTING FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
It’s all about student understanding and mastering a learning goal - and less about grades. A standards-based report card lists the most important skills students should learn in each subject at a particular grade level. Instead of letter grades, students receive marks or a code that shows how well they have mastered the skills.
For more information please visit www.acs-k12.org/sbrc
A parent meeting will be on September 24th (incorrect date was given at Orientation). The meeting will be at 5:30 at the Athens City Schools Board of Education.
