Good Morning! Beginning with the 2024-2025 school year, all K-3 students will be screened for dyslexia per Georgia law, Senate Bill 48, using a state-approved screener. Mid-year, your child was administered a state-approved screener one-on-one with a certified staff member in addition to the mid-year iReady Reading diagnostic. The screener and diagnostic data provided for your child was designed to identify areas of concern and components of reading that may suggest characteristics of dyslexia. The screener was NOT a comprehensive dyslexia assessment designed to diagnose your child with dyslexia. You will receive a letter this week with your child's results. For those at risk or some risk for characteristics of Dyslexia, a team including myself, your child's teacher, our school psychologist, and our MTSS coordinator discussed the whole child and the best intervention. Many children with characteristics of dyslexia can experience success in reading with the right type of support. Student progress will be monitored and communicated moving forward. Please reach out should you have any questions.

Parents, we need your help keeping our student body healthy as we finish out these winter months. We understand that childcare can be a challenge, however, sending your child to school while sick has a large impact on our school. You will receive a letter from our school nurse detailing our school illness policy. Mainly, please keep your child at home if they are sick. Illness is defined by a fever of 100 degrees or higher, vomiting, diarrhea, frequent coughing, consistent pain in their ear/stomach/etc., and/or a new and spreading rash. Thank you for helping us keep our students well!
The book fair is BACK at CPS! Please click the link for more info.
