The Tribe Times
December 5, 2022
From The Desk of Mr. Allen
Our winter MAP testing window is upon us and scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday this week. Therefore, it will be very important that your scholar is in attendance and well rested. As I mentioned last week, this assessment allows us to determine each scholar's achievement and growth which are equally important. It is our goal that all of our scholars make adequate growth. We ask that you partner with us in encouraging your scholar to put forth their best effort this week!
Dudes & Donuts is on our schedule for December 9th, and we look forward to meeting the special men in our scholars' lives. We will begin accepting visitors at 7:15 a.m. and ask that visitors enter through the front doors and report to the library for donuts and to meet the special men of CGWP.
As we approach our last two weeks of this semester, we remain committed to both you and your scholar. We plan to make these last few weeks in our classrooms busy and a place that is conducive to learning. Please make sure your scholar is in attendance so we can finish out our first semester strong!
We continue to appreciate your support, dedication, and commitment to CGWP. Together, we can make a difference!
Thank you,
Lamar Allen
Program Director
Finalizing of our PTA - VOTE ON FRIDAY

2nd Round of Basketball Tryouts on Thursday, December 8th
In order to effectively prepare, please register your scholar HERE by Thursday at 8 a.m. Scholars MUST be registered in order to stay so that we can account for all students.
- Keep in mind that your scholar will need a transportation change if they plan to stay for tryouts. This MUST be communicated, in writing, to Ms. Essence @ essence.nzola@fayette.kyschools.us by noon on Thursday. This includes car riders who will not have a pickup at 2:45.
- If your scholar plans to tryout, arrangements will need to be made for pickup promptly at 4 p.m. at the front entrance.
- Scholars will be expected to adhere to all expectations put forth in order to participate.
Shawnica Carter will be the primary contact and can be reached at shawnica.thompson@fayette.kyschools.us
