1. Do you know how many teachers Walton High School has lost since 2008?
2. Do you know how many more students are in a freshman language arts class in 2013 vs. 2008?
3. Do you know the impact a larger class size can have on a student?
4. Do you know the changes in instruction the teachers have had to make to accommodate a larger class size?

Accident Avoidance Workshops - Nov 9 & 10
|
|
A Few Spots are Still Available for Driver Trainin' the way it Ought'a be!
This is not driver's education ... this is driver's preparation. One doesn't become proficient at LaCrosse by taking a 30-hour classroom, watching videos, taking an on-line class, getting in to a simulator, or reading books ... they become proficient at LaCrosse by playing LaCrosse! Nobody expects their child to know how to react in Emergency Driving Conditions if they've never practiced Emergency Driving Conditions, ... and yet, how many parents send their kids on to Atlanta roads, completely unprepared for Emergency Driving Conditions, knowing full-well they didn't get that training in "driver's ed"? Enter the Accident Avoidance Workshops. We teach your student how to handle emergencies, by exposing them to emergencies ... there is no better way ... period. The Workshops are coming right to Walton High School November 9th & 10th.
