We have arrived at that time of year. Our Georgia Milestones Assessments are the next two weeks. Please see the schedule below. Our teachers, staff and students have done a phenomenal job all year focusing on learning. I believe our students are as ready as they can possibly be for this assessment. I am excited for the opportunity for our students to show what they know. I don't want our students to feel stress or anxiety about these assessments. I want them to sense an opportunity to shine and reflect what they've learned all year. You can help us in the following ways: 1. Please make sure your student(s) are present every day during these assessments; 2. Ensure your student gets a good night's rest each night; 3. Make sure your child eats a good breakfast each morning; 4. Express your confidence in your child's ability to perform; and 5. Praise your student for a job well done! I know our students are going to perform well on the Georgia Milestones. We have the best teachers, staff and students around. This is a chance for them to shine and show what they know.
