Carpool Green Light and Carpool Red Light... Do ✅ & Don't 🚫
Green Light - DO:
- Parents stay in cars
- Students walk quickly during dismissal to carpool area
- Stay off cell phones - students and parents
Red Light - DON'T:
- No backpacks in trunks - do not pop trunk or get out of the car to open the trunk
- Students do not walk down the hall slowly, looking at cell phones
- Students should not be in the lane of traffic at any time or for any reason
Please Note: Carpool is running at approximately 16 minutes from the time that Elkins Pointe is dismissed at 4:05 pm. Parents, we ask that you help facilitate carpool by asking your child to quickly walk to the front of the building by not checking their cellphone until they are safely buckled in your car. Also, placing backpacks the trunk is slowing carpool down and creating a dangerous situation. Students need to be prepared to swiftly enter the car with their backpack in hand and should not be stepping into the traffic lanes.

PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Happy Friday Parents,
It was fantastic to have our Titans back in the building for these four days preceding the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education." As promised, we have delved into the learning in 2018 with our goal being a strong focus on literacy and next week we will begin our R.I.S.E. UP character program.
Speaking of literacy, has your child completed the 440 minutes of the i-READY Challenge? Our challenge is coming to a close on Monday, January 15th. We will be doing the prize drawings next week. The long-term goal of i-READY ties into your child being a stronger reader, writer, and thinker. The purpose of the i-READY Challenge was to get our students into the habit of making literacy skills a priority. We have dedicated two WINN classes a week to i-READY. We think of i-READY as a "work out" for the mind, and with consistency a couple of days each week, your child will see the positive results. Please help us to reinforce a positive mindset about i-READY by encouraging your child to finish their 440 minutes this weekend!
R.I.S.E. UP is our Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PBIS) program for 2018. We have revamped the PBIS program to create guidelines for students to model professional behavior and develop excellent character. R.I.S.E. stands for Respectful, Individually responsible, Safe, and Excellent (see the matrix below). Students observed meeting one of these standards will be issued a R.I.S.E. UP card which can be redeemed for tangible rewards.
Congratulations to the winners of the Spelling Bee. First place was earned by Marziah Islam, and the 2nd place runner-up went to Sireen Mohammed. Thank you to our Media Specialist, Mrs. Jennifer Newman, for hosting the Spelling Bee, to Mr. Adam Hardigree our ELA Chair, and to our judges Mrs. Snell, Dr. Griffin, and Dr. Duncan.
Next week when we return, we will R.I.S.E. UP to the challenge of building upon our students' critical thinking skills, fostering character, and paving the way for their college and career dreams. Please consider having your child enter the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "I Have A Dream" Contest (see below).
Enjoy the long weekend,
Kindra L. Smith, Ed.S

Home of the Titans!
MLK Jr. "I Have A Dream" Contest
"I Have A Dream" Contest Due 1/29
The Atlanta Dream will host its annual “I Have a Dream” essay contest to recognize the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Atlanta-area students are asked to submit 300-500 word essays expressing their dream job or dream college.
The contest, which will run until Monday, January 29th, will be judged by a panel including Atlanta Dream president, Theresa Wenzel, to choose contest winners in three categories – Elementary, Middle School, and High School. Each winner will receive tickets to the first 2018 Dream game, be recognized in a game and will receive a school visit from the franchise. The High School winner, one boy, and one girl will also be eligible to receive a $250 scholarship from the Atlanta Dream Youth Foundation.
Entering its historic 11th season, the Atlanta Dream has been connected to Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech from the very beginning. The original Circle of Friends, a group that led to the founding of the organization, took the speech into consideration when naming the franchise.
Essay Contest Details:
- Every essay should start with “I have a dream….” From that point, it is up to the student to express his or her dream in 300-500 words. In one paragraph, the student should describe if money wasn’t an issue what your dream job or dream college would be.
- The essay submission should be submitted as an attachment and sent to JrDream@atlantadream.net no later than January 29, 2018. All documents should include the student’s first and last name, school, grade, teacher and guardian contact info.
- A panel of judges including the president of the Atlanta Dream, Theresa Wenzel, will review the essays and select the winners. Winners will be notified in February.
- All participants receive a buy one get one free ticket voucher in the Jr. Dream section to the 2018 Home opener and enrolled as a Jr. Dream member.
- Two winners (one girl and one boy) will be selected from elementary, middle, and high school equaling (6) total winners. The (6) winners will be recognized by the court during the home opener. We will share more details when we solidify the game logistics. We will also draw names from all finalists and award them with tickets and prizes.
- Winners will receive the following:
- Elementary school: A visit from the Atlanta Dream and tickets to the 2018 Home opener.
- Middle school: A visit from the Atlanta Dream and tickets to the 2018 Home opener.
- High school: A $250 scholarship from the Atlanta Dream Youth Foundation and tickets to the 2018 Home opener.

CLINIC CORNER
Flu Season Is Here…
CDC and public health officials recommends everyone – 6 months of age and older get a flu vaccine every year. It is especially important for school personnel to get a flu vaccine because children are amongst the most vulnerable to the flu. Therefore, it is important for us to remind parents, students and school staff to get vaccinated every year. Vaccination is the best way to prevent the flu. And by the way, it is a myth: The flu vaccine cannot cause flu. The vaccine contains an inactivated virus or virus particles.
ACHOO...What else can you do to help prevent the spread of the flu?
- The first thing is simple….WASH YOUR HANDS FREQUENTLY! Wash hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer/rub. Did you know the single most important thing you can do to prevent the spread of infectious illnesses is washing your hands? While most of us already know this, it is sometimes hard to remember this simple little important task during a busy day.
- Teach children not to share personal items like drinks, food, eating utensils or other personal items such as towels, combs, brushes, clothes, and cosmetics.
- Wash athletic practice clothing each day, and shower after any contact sport.
- Stay home if you are sick and not going to a medical care facility, especially during the first days of illness when symptoms are more severe and the infection is most contagious. Return to work or school only after symptoms have improved and after you have had no fever for at least 24 hours.
- Try to avoid close contact with people who are sick and take flu antiviral medications if your doctor prescribes them.
- Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs like the flu. Viruses lurk in places you wouldn’t think. Everyone is vulnerable to picking up viruses.
- Eat healthy food (fruits and veggies) and drink plenty of fluids.
- Make sure your vaccinations are up-to-date. Again, get vaccinated against the flu – flu vaccination is the best protection against the flu, and wash your hands frequently!

Attention Elkins Pointe Parents: SPINE ALERT!
The annual Scoliosis Screening Event for EPMS students is coming up very soon, on Feb. 2nd. Please sign up to be part of the screening team here.
This is a really important event because the ages of 11-14 are the prime time for identification of Scoliosis of the spine. Early detection and treatment are the keys to reversing Scoliosis so it is not a life-long problem. Fulton County nurses run the event, but every year we need parent volunteers to be the "first eyes." Parent Screeners act as primary checkers to make the process move smoothly and quickly for the students. With this important event only 3 weeks away, the PTSA is in desperate need of Scoliosis Screeners for a 3 1/2 hour window on Feb. 2nd from 11:45 am to 3:00 pm. Please see the SignupGenius below if you can sign up as a volunteer. Bonus: We will feed you lunch, snacks, and coffee during the day!
If you were certified last year through the Training Course, you DO NOT NEED to take it again. However, if you have not taken the training course within the last 18 months, you will NEED to attend -- it is a painless 1 1/2 hours on Jan 24th, and then you will be certified for 2 years. Please consider volunteering your time for this very worthwhile service event that EPMS provides to its students. Please, direct questions to Jennifer Rodman: jcrodman@yahoo.com
