News, Resources and Volunteer Opportunities

Managing stress, testing and teachers: If your students are feeling anxious during tests, stressed, or overwhelmed, then encourage them to take advantage of the next Raiders' Choice program on November 4th from 1:00 - 1:45 in the A-gym. Coach Loughran will work with students on ways to help manage their stress, put things into perspective, manage their schedules, prioritize and work well with their teachers. This is a terrific opportunity for our students. A 45 minute investment of their time could create significant benefits for them now and during finals in December.
Registration information: Students will receive their spring course selections on Monday, November 1. During lunch periods, students will have the opportunity to alter one semester elective class only. Academic teachers will verify or make any necessary level change recommendations. Waivers for spring semester are due by November 13th.
Volunteers Needed: The Media Center is holding its Scholastic Book Fair on Nov 12-20. Please volunteer for a sales shift during lunches. To sign up click here. Any questions please contact Archana Patel at archana301@yahoo.com.

Join our team of Walton Career Coaches! As a Walton Career Coach, you will have the opportunity to help mentor Walton students as they begin exploring their future careers. You can decide how much time you would be able to give and how you would like to participate in the program. You could exchange emails with interested students, conduct informational interviews, or invite students to shadow you at work for a few hours to experience your job first hand. We are very excited about what these interactions can provide for our students as they begin determining their college and career goals and to make this happen, we need your help! If you can join this group of Walton Career Coaches and help to encourage, educate and inspire our promising Walton students, click Walton Career Coach.

1. Who are the people making the decisions that impact the content and quality of education?
2. What's it like to talk to an elected official when you call his/her office about an issue?
3. How easy is it to fix the education budget?
4. What steps can you take to get involved?
You will learn the answers to these questions and much more at the Education Forum on November 10, 2015 at 7 pm. We will be meeting in the Walton Theater. Please have a representative from every household attend this meeting.

I do not have a direct phone line in the clinic. My number is 770-578-3225, ext 242. The missed number on your caller ID (770-578-3256) is not a functioning number. If it is necessary that I reach you right away, I will always leave a message on one of the contact numbers I have for your child. I will leave the phone number (and ext) for the clinic so please listen to the message and note the correct number. If not time sensitive, I will communicate via email. I hope this will help with the confusion when trying to return a call to the clinic.
