It’s time for Georgia Milestones! 📝📚
Our students will begin testing on Monday, April 20, and we are excited to see them show what they know! They’ve worked hard all year, and this is their time to shine.
Families, you can help set your child up for success by:
✔️ Making sure they get a good night’s rest
✔️ Ensuring they arrive at school on time
✔️ Students who arrive by 7:35 can eat breakfast at school
✔️ Keeping a positive mindset about the test
Let’s work together to support our students and make this a great testing experience. We’re proud of their effort and can’t wait to celebrate their success! 💙✨
