Parents,
As testing time approaches, it is now more important than ever to work with your student at home on skills learned in class. Please read over the test-taking tips in this month’s newsletter to help give you some ideas on ways you can prepare for standardized testing at home.
As always, please feel free to contact us any time if you need support or information on
how to improve your child's academic performance in school. You can reach us at
770-229-3790 or allison.baker@gscs.org or angela.roth@gscs.org.

Did You Miss...?
In March, all parents were invited to attend and participate in Stakeholder Meetings.
Stakeholders were given an opportunity to review and revise the School-Parent Compact and the School Parent and Family Engagement Policy. We also asked for feedback on the reservation of funds and building staff capacity.
If you missed the stakeholder meeting and would like more information, you may contact Allison
Baker or Angela Roth at 770-229-3790 or at allison.baker@gscs.org or angela.roth@gscs.org.
