TRIBE TRIBUNE
Ball Ground STEM Academy Newsletter
January 9th-13th
Welcome Back!
Car Rider Reminders:
Car Rider doors open at 7:00AM and close at 7:32AM to give students time to get to their classroom before the Tardy Bell rings at 7:35AM. The line does not start backing up until around 7:25, so the earlier you arrive, the better. If you choose not to remain in the Car Rider line in the morning and walk your student across the crosswalk, please park in a parking space and keep in mind that cars in the Car Rider lane have priority over pedestrians during arrival and dismissal times.
Bus Rider Update:
Starting next week (1/16), bus passes will not be provided for students to ride home with other students. Per the transportation department, bus riders can only ride their assigned bus to and from their assigned bus stop/home.
TRIBE DAY!
We are excited to host our 2nd Traveling Trading Post this Friday during arrival in the atrium. Cash only and first come first serve. See flyer below for more information-note that we will also have hair/wrist scrunchies for $2. (All profits are used for student rewards/incentives.)
Good Luck to the reigning National Champion Georgia Bulldogs as they take on the TCU Horned Frogs Monday night in the College Football National Championship title game!
