Rising 6th Grade Student Information
5th grade Parents,
Lanier Middle School has planned for an opportunity for you to ask questions relating to your Rising 6th-grade student who may be attending Lanier Middle School next year. Below are links for your child as well for you both to ask questions pertaining to their future experience next year. This Wednesday, the 5th grade student body will visit Lanier Middle School for a tour and I am sure they will have plenty to share. Thank you for helping us to make this transition a smooth one. Additionally, this Thursday night at 6:30 PM you can are invited to Lanier Middle School's informational night. We hope that many of you will be able to attend.

Parent/Teacher Conference Announcements
Dear Sycamore Parents,
We are looking forward to spring early release conferences on Wednesday, February 22 and Thursday, February 23, 2017. I am excited to share your child’s progress with you. If you have not scheduled a conference with me please use the web address for our online scheduling service. All teachers are using PTCFast, so you can schedule your children’s conferences on the same day, if you have multiple children at Sycamore. However, conference times will fill up quickly, so you will need to schedule your conference as soon as you can, to make sure you have plenty of options for conference times.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
We sincerely hope you will be able to attend.
We need your input! (Parent Portal Survey)
Please take a moment to go to the Parent Portal and take our Parent Survey for our district perception surveys. We only have 9 completed and we need many more. It should take you less than 5 minutes and your feedback is appreciated.
Academically Speaking...
Georgia Milestones-Grades 3-5:
In April, all Georgia students in grades 3-5 will engage in a yearly test that helps schools monitor grade level learning and growth toward state standards. This test this year, will entirely be taken online as opposed to paper and pencil. Students will partake in a test related to language arts, math, science and social studies. We have continued to implement practical strategies with our students all year and will continue to embed practice into the normal curriculum so that it is engaging, rigorous and supportive. This test is a promotion requirement and more information will be offered throughout the school year. Please join us in February during conferences where we will offer four sessions that will give you more information about how this important test works.
Congratulations to our First Lego League Team
