Please take a moment to complete the survey using the link

below. It’s that time of year again…time for the Georgia
Parent Survey. The Georgia Parent Survey is modeled after the
student survey and contains 24 questions. Parents may complete the survey using
their personal computer, smartphone or tablet. For parents that do not have access
to the Internet, you are welcome to complete the Georgia Parent Survey at school.
All parents are encouraged to participate in the Georgia Parent Survey because the
data will be used as part of the calculation of the School Climate Star Rating. Survey
responses are anonymous and will be submitted directly to the Georgia Department
of Education for analysis. The Georgia Parent Survey is also available in Spanish.
Parents may select the Spanish version within the survey. Results from the Georgia
Parent Survey will not be available to the public and will not be posted online. The
Georgia Parent Survey link is posted below.

**EOC DATES HAVE CHANGED!!** - Due to receiving scores back from the state
prior to graduation, we have to move the Spring EOC testing dates back one
full week. Testing will begin on April 23 and end on May 4. Parents need to
make sure they do not plan trips or doctor's appointments if at all possible
during these dates. These tests count 20% of the course grade for the student. A
plus to the date change is that EOCs do not overlap with AP Exams this year!
 We are looking for indoor events to perform. If you have or know
of an organization that is looking for a live jazz group to perform,
please let Mr. Kimbrough (curt.kimbrough@tiftschools.com) We
have a program of about 30-40 minutes with 8 or so songs, two of
which feature a vocalist.
