Patriot's Pointe
October 2 - October 6 Vol. 2 Edition 10
Happy Sunday Patriot Families!
Greetings Patriot Families,
The PSAT is quickly approaching and we want to ensure that all of our students are ready. All 9th, 10th, and participating 11th Grade students will need to come to school with a fully charged school-issued Chromebook on Wednesday, October 11, 2023. Freshman and Sophomore students can take advantage of the PSAT free of charge as the fee has been waived. This national assessment is a key indicator for how your student is likely to perform on the SAT/ACT. All Junior students taking the PSAT will have the opportunity to quality for the National Merit Scholarship and the fee is $20. Additional information can be found in the flyer further down in this newsletter.
This week will be another busy week at The Creek! All of our Fall sports will begin Region play so please come out to support Cross Country, Volleyball, and Softball. Our football team will have a bye week this Friday as they rest up heading into region play next Friday at home against Carver High School.
We are excited to support our students in their academic endeavors while providing them with a competitive advantage!

The Campus Parent portal is your source for student and family records, including household and individual contact information, attendance, school-based fees, academic planning (high school), forms, and report cards. The Parent portal also provides access to the GaDOE SLDS Portal. Please set up the parent Infinite Campus account first. The same username will be shared with Schoology to set up your parent account in Schoology. Because each login reflects the person associated with the username, it is recommended that a separate account is created for each parent.
- Usernames can be comprised of letters, numbers, the underscore, and dash.
- Please refrain from creating a username that is all numbers, as that will interfere with student data here in our district.
- After completing the setup of your parent portal account, please allow 24 hours for your new account information to be sent to Schoology before attempting to log into your Schoology parent account.
Get started with Infinite Campus
The Infinite Campus app is available in the App Store and Google Play.
