Dear Parents,
Please find below a few resources to help keep your child academically engaged over the summer months. Scrolling down this webpage, you will find a list of instructional and educational resources you can access for free or through our school accounts this summer.
The Tech Support Hotline will be available Monday- Friday from 7:30 to 3:30pm throughout the summer. The number to reach them is 470-254-2300. They will be able to answer all your technology questions for all county programs that run through Classlink.
I hope these resources are helpful in providing educational support to your child during the summer months. Most importantly I hope you have a wonderful, safe, and healthy summer! I look forward to seeing you all back in August!
Sincerely,
Michaela Ferretti
