You should have received login information for your child to work with Amira. Amira is an Artificial Intelligence that has demonstrated the ability to help children grow as much as giving each child their own certified human tutor. Please view the graphic below to see how much farther along your child could be if they practiced reading at home. Our children will love Amira and begin to love reading.
Do you need help talking about our current health situation? Please see the video below of Julia Cook's, "They Yucky Bug."

Student learning continues through our Independent Learning Plan. Please ensure your child stays connected with their teacher for assignments and updates. Teaching will continue through the end of the year. We encourage all students to stay engaged to enhance or remediate their grades. The school year calendar remains unchanged and the last day of school is May 15, 2020.
If digital access is not available, Independent Learning Packets will be available for pick-up outside the Student and Family Services Center located at the Early Learning Center at Formey School at 400 East Broad Street in Savannah.Our Instructional hotline is 912-395-5514.
As the instructional leader of the school, I will commit to provide a safe learning environment and equip our teachers to provide your children the tools for succeeding and being College and Career Ready.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me. Have an amazing week!
