Parents - Please Take the Georgia Parent Survey
The Georgia Parent Survey is modeled after the student survey and contains 24 questions. Parents may complete the survey using their personal computer, smartphone or tablet. All parents are encouraged to participate in the Georgia Parent Survey because the data will be used as part of the calculation of the School Climate Star Rating. Survey responses are anonymous and will be submitted directly to the Georgia Department of Education for analysis.
The Georgia Parent Survey is also available in Spanish. Parents may select the Spanish version within the survey. Results from the Georgia Parent Survey will not be available to the public and will not be posted online. The Georgia Parent Survey link is posted below.

Kilometer Kids Fall 2017 Wrap Up
Our last practices are 11-08, 11-10, and 11-15. On the 15th, we will be joined by a team of elite runners, who will meet the kids, participate in our last practice, and inspire us all to reach our full potential. Consider joining us, and get your cameras ready!
If your child was not able to reach their goal, it's OK. I am proud of all of them for coming out and giving their best effort. Remind them of the fun they had, the treats they got, and let them know that they can achieve more next season, with a little hard work.
