8th Grade Shout Outs: Students of the Month
Each month, the 8th grade team selects two exemplary scholars to be the 8th grade students of the month. Congratulations to our 8th grade students of the month from January, Finn and Rayana!
Saturday School
Saturday School is in full swing! This is an excellent opportunity for ALL students to prepare for the Georgia Milestones by working with their teachers in a relaxed, small-group setting. Additionally, it is also ideal for students currently enrolled in high school classes to review for their upcoming EOCTs. Saturday School operates on a rotating schedule so that students get to see multiple teachers and review multiple subjects each time. Transportation is also provided. IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO GET YOUR CHILD SIGNED UP! If you would like your child to attend or would like more information, have them get an application from from their teacher, or contact either the front office or Ms. Ward (wardt@clarke.k12.ga.us).
