PTA REFLECTIONS AWARDS CEREMONY

COLD & FLU SEASON IS UPON US
MES Parents ~ we need your help.
In an effort to monitor sickness in the building, if your child is diagnosed (by a doctor) with strep throat, the flu, or any communicable illness, it is important that you notify Nurse Black (school nurse) in addition to your child's teacher. This is important because it will allow Nurse Black to closely monitor to see if there is a pattern or cluster of cases. Please notify Nurse Black via email at Pamela_Black at dekalbschoolsga.org or by phone at (678) 676-7507.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
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!
