Dear Claxton Elementary School Parents/Guardians,
The Georgia Milestones Assessment System (GMAS) testing will be next week! This test helps us determine how much your child has learned this school year.
You can help us by making sure your child:
● Gets plenty of rest each night before testing
● Arrives at school every day on time! Testing will begin at 8:15. The tardy bell rings at 8:05.
● Eats a healthy breakfast each morning. Breakfast is also provided at school.
● Has a positive attitude about the test and is dedicated to doing his/her best.

School Lunch Hero Day
Our CMS CTAE and Connections PLC has been working with middle school students to develop 4C skills (communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking). Students who have excelled in these lessons were nominated to be CMS’s first-ever Tiger Trustees! These students will serve as tour guides during the upcoming sixth-grade orientation at CMS!
Ms. Morris, one of our CMS counselors, helped the CTAE and Connections PLC host a training session this week.
We are proud of our Tiger Trustees, and we know these young leaders will represent CMS well!
CMS held a Staff vs. Student Basketball Game today. During halftime, students from each grade were able to participate in fun games. Fun was had by all, and the teachers came out victorious!

Dr. Alex Jordan, a Growing Readers Specialist from FDRESA, presented Mrs. Welch with this special recognition. “This is all about sustainability and encouraging our teachers,” Dr. Jordan shared. “FDRESA wanted to do something special during Teacher Appreciation Week. Teachers are protecting civilization, and we appreciate all you do.”
Mrs. Welch, a registered nurse, teaches Introduction to Healthcare Science, Essentials of Healthcare, Nurse Aide Program, and a Tiger Pride segment at CHS. Mrs. Welch shared her gratitude for the award and added, “I feel fortunate to work alongside a supportive group of people at CHS.”
Dr. Mizell, CHS Principal, congratulated Mrs. Welch for this recognition and added, “We’re grateful to have someone with Mrs. Welch’s experience leading our students.”
First-year teachers meeting the qualifications for the recognition were nominated by each school at ECCSS and by each school district in the FDRESA service area. Mrs. Welch was selected from our ECCSS nominations and is one of 17 area first-year teachers being recognized with this honor.
