Healthy Kids, Smart Kids

Stonewall Tell Elementary has adopted the Healthy Kids, Smart Kids wellness initiative. We believe that healthier eating habits and consistent exercise have a positive impact on our children’s learning and ultimately their test scores. When sending classroom snacks, please remember that this is a “Sugar-Free Zone” school. Do not send soft drinks, fruit drinks with processed sugar, candy, cookies, ice cream, cupcakes, cakes, hot fries or sugary snacks. Also note that birthday parties that include cakes, cookies, wings, ice cream and other treats are prohibited and will not be allowed in the building. Healthier items such as fruit cups, fresh fruit, pretzels, baked chips, 100% juice, fresh vegetables, 100% fruit snacks, granola bars, animal crackers and items with low salt and minimum sugar are allowed.

** Due to nut allergies, please do not send any snacks with peanuts or peanut butter in them.

Parents please note that if your child has a fever of at least 100

degrees (F) they must be “fever-

free” for 24 hours before returning to school. This policy will be strictly

enforced so that we might combat/prevent the spread of any flu-like virus in the school.

When in a school building full of impressionable minds let us all please be mindful of the way we are dressing. Tight and or see through clothing is highly inappropriate dress for the school. We as parents/guardians must remember that we are the people our children are looking up to for guidance. They are watching how we dress, how we react, and how we interact too. So as adults we must always be the bigger person and show the children that we are who they should follow. Many children and teens are raised by the television and the music videos that they see and associate that with the way they should be living because it “looks good” to the eye but it is not. So if we as the, “in the flesh”, role models for our little ones dress as if we are in the music videos when we come in the school we not only are being a disruption but we are teaching them that it is okay to wear the things they see in videos. They look to us for advice as professionals as parents, and friends. In a county where Student’s come First, we really need to make sure to keep them first in every aspect. Whether it is making sure that we watch our words, actions or clothing. We should live each day as if our kids need our positive attitude to ensure they have a positive future. Because in actuality; they

really do...

Counselor’s Corner

Robin Elder -School Counselor

Strategic Plan 2017 This is the school system’s roadmap for how

Fulton County Schools aims to improve student

achievement over the next five years. Three

goals serve as the district’s measure for long-

term student success, which is that students will

graduate on time and be ready for college or the

workforce.

• Graduation Rate – 90% of Fulton

students will graduate on time

• College Readiness – 85% of Fulton’s

seniors will be eligible for admission to a

University System of Georgia college or university

• Career Readiness – 100% of Fulton's

graduates will be work-ready certified

“These are big goals, but they are attainable,”

said Superintendent Avossa. “Our strategic plan

is focused on improving outcomes for all

students, and the only way to do this is to set

measurable goals and put supports in place to

help our students and staff to reach them.” To that end, as part of its “Building Our Future”

strategic planning initiative, the school system

will focus on five key areas – instruction,

people, technology, effective schools and

resources – to drive improvement.

• Instruction – Students will be engaged

in learning that enables them to reach their full

potential for college and career readiness

• People – Fulton County Schools will

attract and retain the most talented and effective

employees in K-12 education

• Technology – Students, parents,

teachers and administrators will have the tools

and information they need to accelerate learning

• Effective Schools – School leadership

will be collaborative and will balance innovation

with accountability • Resources – Student needs will be supported

with efficient and effective allocation of staff,

instructional materials and equipment. The strategic plan will guide the system’s

direction over the next five years and is the result

of many conversations with the school board,

teachers and school leaders as well as

engagement with parents and the community. The plan is posted at

www.fultonschools.org/StrategicPlan2017.

FYI…… Student Hardship Applications

are due

February 15, 2013.

NO EXCEPTIONS

Beginning January 2013, parents of Fulton County students can apply for a 2013-2014 hardship transfer to another Fulton County School or request renewal of an existing hardship transfer. For more information, contact:

Talented And Gifted- January Critical Thinking

NOTIFICATION TO PARENTS OF THE SCREENING AND REFERRAL PROCESS FOR GIFTED SERVICES The Fulton County School System screens students for eligibility for gifted services twice a year. I. Automatic Screening- At the beginning of the school year, TAG teachers review previous year’s test scores. • Standardized Tests (New Students) Students must have a minimum of an 85th percentile and a 90th percentile in two of the three areas: Total Reading, Total Math, and Complete Battery. • Acceleration Assessments (Grades K-3) Students must score 80% or greater on system’s Acceleration Assessment for English/Language Arts or Mathematics. • Criterion-Referenced Competency Test (Grades 4-9) Students must score in the top 20 percent on the reading or mathematics section when compared to all other students in the system. • Grades (Grades 10-12) Students must have an overall cumulative average of 95 or greater. II. Classroom Screening- Local schools select a two-week period from January 7 -February 28, 2013, to review all students in the school (Grades K-11). Stonewall Tell Elementary School will conduct the Classroom Screening period from January 7th-January 18th, 2013!!! • Classroom teachers and Special Area teachers use the Characteristics Instrument for Screening Students (CISS) to identify students with superior abilities in five or more of the following areas: motivation, interests, communications skills, problem-solving abilities, memory, inquiry, insight, reasoning, creativity, and humor. Students who meet either the automatic screening OR classroom screening criteria AND who have supporting data gathered from test history, products, and/or advanced content levels are referred for gifted placement testing.

During Morning Announcements ALL students, parents and teachers are asked not to talk, walk or conduct ANY
