Organization is an invaluable life skill. This is a golden opportunity for both parents and students to hone this skill. If you are interested in benefiting from this awesome opportunity (parents - workshop; students - working lunch), please

Red Ribbon Week
Red Ribbon Week will be here before you know it.
Click here for a glimpse at the fun activities. We will need help with making posters and decorating the school so... be on the lookout for volunteer opportunities.
School Phone Numbers
Our new phone numbers are 470 254-2892 and 470 254-2898 (Fax). Hembree Elementary has also changed to 470 254-2902 and 470 254-2906 (Fax). Eventually all schools will have the (470) 254 area code and prefix.
Advisement
Every day, each Titan has a 20 minute advisory period that comes before or after his/her lunch period. During this time, teachers are charged with finding ways to build relationships with their students and allow students the opportunity to connect with their peers, work on projects, time outside, and complete school or district surveys.
Picture Day
Lifetouch is the company we are using. You can still place orders through ParentNotify. For questions, email Marcie Suckow @ suckow@fultonschools.org
Soccer Season
Our soccer team played its first game against Ridgeview, this past Friday and played well, but did not get the "W". They are working even harder this week to get ready for their next game this Friday against Northwestern (my old stompin' ground). If you have time, come out to root on the Titans!

Title One Tips
What is a "Compact? If you are like most people, you might think a "compact" is a small car. Here at EPMS, a "compact" is a contractual agreement, which was
sent home the first week of school (inside First Week packets). Our goal is to have 100% of
Parent-School Compacts returned to school by the end of September. To date, only half have been returned. "It's Time to Titan Up"... on these compacts! Please use the following link
http://tinyurl.com/CompactEPMS-2015-English to print out the signature page for both you and your child to sign and return to the front office. Let's get this done before the end of September!
If you have any questions, or would like to know if we received your child's compact, please email Title I Parent Liaison (Lisa O'Hanlon Cowles) at
ohanlon@fultonschools.org
STAR House
Homework help... is available for your child through the STAR House program. If interested, please pick up an application at the front office. Transportation home is provided.

Titan Pride
Every Friday is spirit day! Titan spirit wear order forms were sent home on 8/28. Students can return completed forms and payment to the front office in the box marked "spirit wear". Orders can also be placed on-line at
http://elkinspointe.deco-apparel.com. Shirts, designs and colors are interchangeable, so you can customize how you show your Titan pride. Pick your design, shirt style, and color. For questions, contact Laura Calvert and Jenny Burge

Bring your parent to school (6th grade only)
Sixth grade parents, you are invited to join your child for the first two periods of his/her school day! On Tuesday, September 22nd, you will get an idea of what your child experiences every day as a Titan. Check in will be at the media center (8:30), where you will be welcomed by the administration and receive your child's schedule. At the conclusion of second period, all parents will exit the building through the rotunda.
End of the Day Dismissal
Parking in the parking lot on the bus side poses a safety concern with parents and students walking between the buses to get to their cars. I ask that you park on the carpool loading side during dismissal. The safest way to pick up your child every day is to pull into the carpool line and pick up your student curbside. If you choose to walk up to the building to wait for your child at dismissal, please stand on the carpool side of the building so we can free up the space on the bus side for students to safely and quickly board their buses. Thank you for your support and cooperation.
