It's time again for the annual "Angel Tree" at Nickajack.  Each year students, staff and community members sponsor families in need during the holiday season.  Please assist us in helping these families in our school community by allowing your child(ren) to select an Angel(s) from the Angel Tree.  The attached Angel Tree Permission Form will be in your child's Tuesday Folder  on Dec. 3rd.  Please return it to your child's teacher by Friday, Dec. 13th  This year we will be collecting gift cards for our families in any denomination (please write the amount on the card): 

 

  • o   Red Angel  (Target or Wal-Mart gift card)
  • o   Green Angel  (Publix or Kroger gift card)
  • o   White Angel  (Gas Station gift card)

 

Students will be allowed to come to the Angel Tree between 7:20 and 7:50 each morning from Wednesday, December 4th through Wednesday, December 11th.  All gift cards must be returned to the black box by Friday, December 13th.

Georgia Parent  Survey  2013-2014
survey

Your Input is Needed Please 

 

The time to administer the Georgia Parent Survey for the 2013-2014 school year has arrived. 

This is the first year that the Georgia Parent Survey has been administered.  Data from the Georgia Parent Survey will be used to calculate the School Climate Star Rating 
within the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI).

 

The Georgia Parent Survey will be administered electronically.  Parents will be able to complete the survey using their personal computers, smartphones or iPads. The Georgia Parent Survey has 20 questions and it should take no more than 5 - 10 minutes to complete. Survey responses are anonymous and will be submitted directly to the Georgia Department of Education for analysis.

 

The link to the Georgia Parent Survey is posted below.  After you click on the link, a drop-down menu will appear and you will use the drop-down menu to select our school district and our school.
