Author Laurel Snyder
Atlanta author Lauren Synder visited Montgomery on Wednesday, January 8th. Two assemblies were held so the entire student body would be able to attend. From sharing the inspiration behind her stories to meeting with small groups, Mrs. Snyder spent the entire day with our students. Writing is an instructional focus this year at MES so students were able to make connections between their own writing and the words shared by Mrs. Snyder.
A special Thank You goes out to Mrs. Kelly Vogel for organizing the visit!
Principal Bolds thanks Laurel Synder for visiting Montgomery students

Parent Survey for School Climate from Georgia DOE
Georgia Parent Survey
The Georgia Parent Survey is also modeled after the student survey and contains 24 questions. Parents may complete the survey using their personal computer, smartphone, or tablet. For parents who do not have access to the Internet, school administrators should consider scheduling dates and times to allow parents to complete the Georgia Parent Survey at school. All parents should be encouraged to participate in the Georgia Parent Survey because the data will be used as part of the calculation of the School Climate Star Rating. Survey responses are anonymous, self-reported, and will be submitted directly to the Georgia Department of Education for analysis. The Georgia Parent Survey is also available in Spanish. Parents may select the Spanish version within the survey. Montgomery's Climate Rating for 2019 was 92.4 which is 4 stars. Please complete the survey by January 31, 2020 and help us reach 5 stars!
The Georgia Parent Survey link is posted below.
