Thank you to everyone who donated to the September Donation Drives for the CHS Comfort Closet and School Clinic!

 Campbell National Honor Society partnered with Keep Smyrna Beautiful to conduct a campus clean-up last Saturday. Over 40 students collected about 15 large bags of trash to ensure the campus looked nice prior to the IB Open House on Sunday. Attached is a group photo if you want to post/share it. Props to NHS Co-Sponsor Justin Franco for being here to run the event while I was in Athens for parents weekend at UGA. The CHS Comfort Closet offers free personal care items for students and families in need. There are two comfort stations on campus (located by the Counseling Department and by Ms. Fain’s office) where students may receive individual sized items as needed. Families are able to visit the Comfort Closet to receive full sized personal & household care items by scheduling with Ms. Fain. Thank you to all who have donated items during the September Comfort Closet drive promoted by PTA. We genuinely appreciate the support!

In preparation for the PSAT, Applerouth is kicking off the school year with a PSAT Pathways Program. PSAT/NMSQT Registration for the PSAT has ended for Fall 2024 administration. We will administer the PSAT to all 10th graders and registered 9th and 11th graders Wednesday, October 23rd, 2024. In preparation, students should create a College Board account (www.collegeboard.org) using a personal email address and download/update the BlueBook App on their school issued device. Use this link: https://bluebook.app.collegeboard.org/ Parents may access this link for general information about the PSAT: https://blog.collegeboard.org/parents-guide-psat-nmsqt Free personalized test prep is also offered through www.KhanAcademy.org. The PSAT Digital Readiness Check will take place this week during 3rd Block. Students will receive credentials to participate in a simulation of the PSAT.
Campbell Advanced Placement Scholars- CAPS
Campbell students interested in being a part of the CAPS Program (Campbell AP Scholars) must complete an application and submit to Dr. Dorrough by the deadline listed within the application as it differs by grade level. Applications can be submitted to Dr. Dorrough in the cafeteria in the morning or during lunch, or to her office (3113). Any student not in the Campbell IB program can apply to the program to work towards meeting the CAPS criteria. Students that attended a CAPS meeting last year must also complete an application based on their current grade level (graduation year). Current freshmen (class of 2028) that submit an application will be reviewed at the end of Fall semester once their GPA has been established. CAPS Applications for the class of 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028 can be found within the attachments. If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Dorrough at Jennifer.Dorrough@cobbk12.org.

The first 6 weeks are behind us, and we hope everyone had a chance to relax and reset over the break. Remember, trust the process (listed below 😉). Students are going to face bumps in the road or have uncomfortable moments seeing grades they aren't used to. When that happens, follow these steps: Suggest the following to your students (you can say Ms. Wood said so 😉): -Attend tutoring: Do so with very specific questions. Teachers are there to answer specific questions about concepts, missed questions on quizzes/tests, or misunderstood content. If their teacher does not have tutoring at a convenient time, have them ask their teacher for a different time or peer tutor.
-Talk with your teacher: This can feel daunting, but teachers WANT to help. If it's easier to email, have them email for a time to talk.
-Also, see The Counseling Corner each week in the Spartan Newsletter for helpful resources.
