Mission Monday Sets The Tone For The Week!
Remembering Kobe!
Here at Slater we will continue to have our morning meetings in each classroom to remind our scholars that they have a safe place even when things around them are uncertain. Rest in Peace Kobe!!
Looking to The Week Ahead Here at Slater!
Black History Month on The Way!!
While we will highlight the heroic accomplishments in the African American community, we will also use this time to encourage our scholars to take their own place in history. Each of our scholars has the potential to create something that changes our world. Each of our scholars has the potential to impact, or improve our community in some way. Each of our scholars has the potential to be a First!!---the first CEO in a major organization, the first college graduate in their family, the first to start a ground breaking organization in the arts, education, medicine, technology, or any other industry.
This untapped potential is the reason that Slater and our entire PBSA community of schools embrace the Project Based Learning Model. Project Based Learning gives our scholars the opportunity to explore the things that interest them, to set their own pace for learning, and to question why we do what we do!! If you want to learn more about Project Based Learning, consult with your child's teacher and see what you can do to be a part of the movement!!
Slater Staff Highlight!
Slater Custodial Staff
We often highlight the teachers and educational support staff of our school, but we realize that it takes a lot of skilled individuals to make Slater function properly! Our custodians are a large part of the village that supports our Slater Scholars. Not only do they keep our school tidy and clean, they insure that the temperature is comfortable, they rid our school of unwanted pests, and they develop a kind and respectful relationship with many of our scholars and families.
We thank Mr. Neal, Ms. Clemmons, and Mr. Killing for the daily contributions that you make here at Slater Elementary School. You ROCK!!!!
Slater Expectations!
Slater is a Uniform School!
Uniforms
To ensure that our learning environment is equitable and focused on instruction, we are a uniform school. All students are required to be in uniform Monday - Friday. Our uniforms consist of khaki or navy blue bottoms (shorts, pants, skirts) and white, orange, or blue polo shirts. All students should be in uniform Monday-Friday. If you are facing a challenge in purchasing uniforms for your child(ren), feel free to reach out to our parent liaison, Ms. Woods, for assistance @(404)802-4050.
The Early Bird Catches The Worm!
Research indicates that missing more than five days of school each year, regardless of the cause, begins to impact student academic performance and starts shaping attitudes about school.
At Slater Elementary, we recognize the relationship between daily school attendance, school climate, student performance, and social-emotional health. We also know that the amount of time actually spent in class is a good measure of student access to an education. Each tardy or absence means a student has lost an opportunity to learn.
At T.H. Slater Elementary, we strive to proactively monitor school wide attendance and the individual attendance of each student. The following policy will be upheld for students who are tardy or repeatedly picked up late.
Every Friday is Early Dismissal Friday!
