WELCOME TO THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR

Welcome to the new school year and we’re excited to get back together with our returning students and welcome our new students! Thanks for keeping in mind the following items to help us prepare for a successful start:

1. Dress Code: After we received feedback from students, parents, and staff, we updated our dress code. Please review the changes that are posted on our school website in addition to being included in our Student Handbook (online and will also be in our new student agendas). Link to Dress Code
2. School Supplies: Thank you for reviewing our grade level school supply lists posted on our school website, and thanks also for considering a complete school supply kit from The School Box (and considering donations needs). Link to Supply List
3. Meet & Greet: Our annual Meet & Greet is scheduled for Wednesday, July 31, from 9:30-11:30 a.m. This special event is a great time to visit campus to meet teachers and staff, join PTSA and purchase spirit wear, sign up for student clubs and organizations, visit with café staff for student meal accounts, and consult transportation staff for bus information.
4. Open House: Our annual Open House is scheduled for Thursday, August 15, from 6:30-8:00 p.m. This special event is a great time to visit classrooms to learn about student expectations, join PTSA and purchase spirit wear, visit with the office staff for ParentVUE access needs. Important Note: The schedule for this evening will be timed class periods as parents rotate to enjoy each of the seven class period, and we appreciate families being on time to ensure no class periods are missed. In addition to Open House, stop by our CLC (Library) to support our Bedford Falls Book Fair. 
5. Student Laptops: We will continue to require all students to use school-issued laptops or their own laptops/tablets. Mid-July the ParentVUE access for opting students in to receive school laptops will open, and additional information will be sent about this exciting plan.
6. Student Agendas: We are partnering with our PTSA to purchase student agendas for all of our students. These important organizational tools will be required to use, and staff will support students with these requirements. Our student agendas will include our Student Handbook in addition to the calendar pages to support student planning and monitoring progress. 
7. Summer Reading: Students are encouraged to choose what books they read during the summer. We want to remind students to utilize our Sora app which has eBooks and Audiobooks available, or visit our local North Cobb Regional Library. Students can then log their minutes reading in the Beanstack app. Students who read and log more than 3,000 minutes this summer from May 24 - August 1, will be invited to a pizza party in the CLC. 

Thank you for your support of student success! And we also appreciate your support of our SPLOST-funded HVAC summer project as we complete Phase II of installing new air conditioning. When the school year begins, this second summer of HVAC projects will complete this plan, and we’re excited that our entire campus will enjoy new air conditioning. Please reach out to the school office with any questions about our plans for the new year, and we’re eager to begin this new school year with our families!
