It’s hard to believe that it is the end of the year and summer will be upon us in just a few weeks. In preparation for the summer months, I wanted to provide you with a few resources to help keep your child(ren) academically engaged during their time way from the classroom. Below you will find A Parent’s Guide to Student Success for the grade your child is entering, a resource provided by the county, as well as a list of instructional and educational resources you can access for free or through our school accounts this summer.
The Tech Support Hotline will be available Monday- Friday from 7:30 to 3:30pm throughout the summer. The number to reach them is 470-254-2300. They will be able to answer all your technology questions for all county programs that run through Classlink.
I hope these resources are helpful in providing educational support to your child(ren) during the summer months. Most importantly I hope you have a wonderful, safe, and healthy summer! I look forward to seeing you all back in August!
