Please review the CAPS Criteria & Requirements: Course Registration Helpful Tips to ensure that you and your student are selecting the classes that will allow them to continue progressing towards completion of this advanced learning program. Dr. Dorrough will be in the cafeteria each morning during February to answer questions about academic and elective courses.

Campbell IB News
Congratulations to the 8th graders who were offered acceptance to the Campbell IB Diploma Program on Friday.
Thank you to the IB Booster Club, parent and student volunteers, and our amazing IB faculty for making Sunday's Showcase a true celebration.
9th grade families: Rising 10th advisement is this week. Carefully read the details on the Signup Genius:
10th grade - Questions about SAT/ACT. See the notes from our IB Insights (sent via Remind last semester). Advisement for selecting IB courses will be in the beginning of March. Information to come.
11th grade - Your students will begin IB Language Orals this week, so the nerves are likely high. Remind them to take their teacher's lead on how to prepare. They're going to be fine.
12th grade - This is the tough part - keeping the focus on school and finishing strong, even when many have been accepted to college. Most students are doing great, but some students are still behind on the student-led components for their IB Diploma- the IAs and Extended Essay (deadlines are in Managebac). These components are required for students to sit for exams and potentially receive their IB Diploma/course credit. Students can show you their progress and deadlines in Managebac.

Congratulations to our Science team for placing 4th in the Science Bowl Regionals yesterday!
Campbell HS had 2 students place on the weekend of Jan. 27th-28th at the North Central Technology Competition 2024. The NCTC is part of the GASTC, which emphasizes the use of digital technology in project-based learning. All first place winners will advance to the state competition in March.
Please help congratulate Campbell's Ethics Bowl teams. They came in 1st and 2nd in the West Georgia High School Ethics bowl considering some of the most consequential issues of our time- nuclear deterrence, artificial intelligence, the role of honesty in medical ethics- and they did it all with brilliance and heart.
Here at Campbell Theatre, we believe that the best way for students to learn about theatre is to see it and do it! So, we have three field trips this semester that are open to ALL students even if they aren't in theatre! Furlough’s Paradise 2/29 - (10th - 12th grade ONLY)
