Please make sure the college is visible on the shirt, as solid colors are not permitted. Students who do not wish to participate must wear regular uniforms. Our staff will be decked out with shirts from our colleges and we hope students will join us!
Free Sports Physicals
Piedmont Athens Regional (PAR) is hosting FREE Sport Physicals on Saturday April 27, 2019. Arrive at Cedar Shoals at 9:00am, and buses depart at 9:15am. To participate, athletes MUST have a Physical Form completed with health history and parent/guardian signature before boarding a bus. Please wear comfortable sports clothes (shorts, t-shirts, sweats) for an easy physical exam. Physical exams completed on April 27 are approved for the entire 2019-2020 GHSA Sport Calendar.
We are hoping to have as many as athletes as possible take advantage of this opportunity. If you would like your child to attend, just be sure to remember to have the History Form completed and signed for your child. Here is a blank copy of the Physical Form if you need one!
High School Class Resources
We would like to offer some resources for students currently in high school classes (Spanish I, High School Physical Science, and Accelerated Math). Georgia Virtual Schools has a sister site that is free, and the modules teach the standards that are consistent with our classes offered. Click here for more information on the procedures for how to use the site. We definitely encourage these students to use this resource at home!

**The Math Milestone is on Tuesday & Wednesday this week. Please make sure students are studying and reviewing at home! There is a LOT of material posted to Google Classroom for students to use on their own to practice. Here is a wonderful study resource that students can use at home - it contains links to videos and practice problems for every single topic covered in 8th grade math.
**Please be checking grades in Campus frequently! The goal is for every student to make an A for the 4th quarter. Students may complete test corrections on their Unit 7 Tests in order to earn back partial credit. After Milestones are over we will be working on several projects that will count as major test grades!
