Slater Gives to the Community!
Helping Hands and giving hearts!
Thanks to Ms. Woods and the Slater Parent Engagement team, several families were reminded of how important they are to us and this community. Thanks to generous donations from each grade level, the Parent Engagement team, and our generous faculty and staff, meals were provided for families in our school that would be nourishing and delicious during our holiday break. The Parent Engagement Team consistently works to insure that our Slater families' needs are met.
To find out more about what you can do to assist the Parent Engagement Team, contact Ms. Woods at (404)802-4056 or via email at qhaney@purposebuiltschools.org

Slater Students Get Pumped with the Bearings Bike Shop
As always, our Slater Tigers persevered and successfully made it to a point of completion. Our 5th grade students earned enough points to select a bike that would become their own just before the Thanksgiving break.
The pictures above show the students at work, consulting with the brilliant Bike Shop Staff, and making bike selections! We are so proud of our Slater Tigers and we know that they will continue to make us proud in the upcoming semester with our Bearings Bike Shop Partners.

Slater Values
Slater is A Uniform School
Uniforms
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.
The Early Bird Catches the Worm!
The Early Bird Gets the Worm, but the Tardy BIrd Misses Out!!
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.
Early Release Friday's!
