4th Graders Learn About Disaster Preparedness Through Project Based Learning!
In this quarter, 4th grade students will find out what it takes to prepare for a Natural Disaster. In Atlanta we are very fortunate, we have very few natural disasters that plague an entire community. However, other cities and states throughout our nation face fires, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes. This investigation will ask students to place themselves in the shoes of other Americans and determine what needs to happen to prepare for a major natural disaster.
A New Week, A New Monday Mission!!
What You Need to Know at Slater!!
Slater is a Uniform School!
To ensure that our learning environment is equitable and focused on instruction, we are a uniform school. All students are required to be in uniform Monday - Friday. Our uniforms consist of khaki or navy blue bottoms (shorts, pants, skirts) and white, orange, or blue polo shirts. All students should be in uniform Monday-Friday. If you are facing a challenge in purchasing uniforms for your child(ren), feel free to reach out to our parent liaison, Ms. Woods, for assistance @(404)802-4050.
Come to School on TIme!
Research indicates that missing more than five days of school each year, regardless of the cause, begins to impact student academic performance and starts shaping attitudes about school.
At Slater Elementary, we recognize the relationship between daily school attendance, school climate, student performance, and social-emotional health. We also know that the amount of time actually spent in class is a good measure of student access to an education. Each tardy or absence means a student has lost an opportunity to learn.
At T.H. Slater Elementary, we strive to proactively monitor school wide attendance and the individual attendance of each student. The following policy will be upheld for students who are tardy or repeatedly picked up late:
Don't Forget Friday is a 1/2 Day!!
Early Release Day
As a reminder, every Friday our school day ends at 1:00 p.m. in order for our teachers to receive training and workshops to ensure your child(ren) have a top-notch educational experience here at Slater. All students must be picked up no later than 1:00 p.m. each Friday!!Contact Us
