The Fort Report
April 15, 2022
Dear Fort Daniel Families,
Happy Spring! It was wonderful to see so many of you during our recent Field Day events and lunch visits. Parental involvement is so important! Thank you for your support and participation in your child’s education at Fort Daniel Elementary!
During the testing window of April 21st - May 20th, we look forward to our 3rd-5th grade students demonstrating all they have learned when they take the Georgia Milestones End of Grade (EOG) State Assessment. Our teachers have created many learning opportunities to help students succeed and we are confident that they will do well.
As a gentle reminder, please make sure your child has a good night's rest, eats a healthy breakfast, and arrives at school on time. We need your help and support to make these last few months successful for all of our students! I thank you for all that you do to support our students, and please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of assistance. Have a wonderful weekend!
Proud to be your principal,
Dr. Barbara Tucker
