***The Landmark calendar on the school website is always the best source of information for upcoming events, especially to see the schedules of our various sports teams.  Practice or game cancellations are first posted there.  Please check it often. 
General Info:

Georgia GOAL:  To date, $43 million of the $50 million cap for Georgia GOAL tax credits have been approved.  If you are interested in designating a portion of your Georgia state tax liability to help students transfer to Landmark from a public school, please visit the Georgia GOAL website at www.goalscholarship.org.  The process is now paperless but you should act quickly to take advantage of this opportunity. There are currently seven students who are attending Landmark thanks to the GOAL scholarship program. 

The boys' basketball program is currently looking for someone to coach the B Team for the upcoming season (6TH AND 7TH Grade). Duties would include daily practices and Saturday morning games. Previous basketball coaching experience needed. If interested, please contact Coach Chip McAllister at cmcallister@landmark-cs.org. Stipend included.  Also, all boys interested in playing this season need to inform Coach McAllister. 

 

All middle school girls interested in playing basketball this season need to let  

Coach Carlyle or Coach Frady know as soon as possible.   

 
Reminders:
 
Please make sure your middle and high school students know their lunch account numbers.  This helps speed up the line in the cafeteria.

If you have any health forms that you have not yet submitted to the school clinic (i.e. asthma care plan, diabetes care plan), please do so as soon as possible. The forms are now linked on the parent log-in side of the school website under 'Parent & Teacher Resources:Forms/Documents'
