The Principal's Desk At Sycamore ES
April 17, 2017 (April 17-28- No lunch visitors)
2017-2018 School Year Class Placement
A Note from Mrs. Thompson
Today was a wonderful 1st day of Milestones Testing. The students were confident, strong and knowledgeable of what was needed to make it through. Though we have several more days to go, it is imperative that we all keep our students encouraged and supported during a very special time. The updated schedule is included below for the rest of the week.
Reminders;
1) No visitors for any grades all day through April 28th for testing
2) Assure that all students have eaten breakfast and have had a great night's rest
3) Try your best to organize doctor's appointments around testing dates and times; Students have to make-up tests in rolling makeups throughout the day
New and Exciting!
With your money that you contributed to our school fundraiser, we are purchasing additional technology for our school with the purchase of Microsoft Chromebooks. We are also buying 3 Tower Gardens where we will be growing vegetables and herbs right in our school! Please look for an email that will detail our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony in May. Over the summer, we will also be updating our foyer murals to reflect a new Sugar Hill skyline and an innovative perspective to our vision and mission. We will NOT touch the beautiful mural on the right with all of the student names, so don't worry! Grants, ice cream money, and donations make all of these experiences for our students possible, so thank you for all you have done to support our school!
5th grade Celebration: Tuesday, May 23rd at 6 PM- Sugar Hill Church
This year's Awards Celebration will be back at Sugar Hill Church where we will have more seating and additional support for various parts of our annual ceremony. We will not have cake anymore due to the flooring in the building but will have everyone leave the evening with a sweet treat. We will send out tickets again, but feel that we will be able to offer more opportunities for guests now.

Georgia Milestones update for grades 3-5
We are excited to begin our annual process of standardized testing for students in grades 3-5 next week. Below you will see the schedule and we ask that the following be followed:
1. Students should get a good night's rest and dress comfortably for testing with a healthy breakfast
2. Please commit to perfect attendance and no tardies during testing as tardy students cause additional disturbances to the day
3. Review the dates for testing below and refrain as best as possible from checkouts
4. We will have no visits during lunch or the day for April 17-28 due to testing and changes in lunch schedules (birthdays will have to be celebrated on Friday, April 14th or after testing)
