📢📢📢Reminder!📢📢📢 GMAS End of Grade (EOG) and End of Course (EOC) testing starts in May! ECCSS successfully added days of instruction prior to state testing for its students in third through twelfth grades after the state approved our request to push back scheduled dates to administer the Georgia Milestones tests. Students in third through eighth grade will gain 10 days of instruction; students taking high school courses will gain five days of instruction. This year the school district was forced to close for 15 days due to weather events. Making this testing schedule adjustment will allow teachers and students more time to prepare for the state’s required tests. Please see the adjusted testing windows in the first table below. Schools will provide additional assessment information prior to GMAS.

The Evans Region College and Career Academy was gifted a beautiful piece of art today! Allen Rowland and Robbie Bell purchased the piece from the estate sale of Enrique Arias. Arias was an expert in Latin American economic policy and chief executive officer for Barclays Bank in Latin America and the Caribbean. He helped rebuild his native country of Panama, and for this work, the Panamanian government awarded him the Order of Vasco Nunez de Balboa, which is among the country's highest honors. Throughout his adult life, Arias was an art collector and purchased many works of art throughout Latin America. Rowland envisioned the piece in a Culinary Arts lab and connected with Cindy Hart, Culinary Arts instructor. The art will be hung in the classroom portion of the lab and will greet students and guests from up high. Rowland served the people of Evans County for many years through his work as nurse practitioner at the Evans County Health Department. Today he continues his service in public health and works predominantly in Bulloch County. We are grateful to Rowland for his contributions to our school and community!

These CCA representatives enjoyed interacting with guest speaker, Dominique LaRiccia, the Field Service Director for the Georgia Department of Agriculture. Yesterday students in Culinary Arts assisted in the creation of strawberry muffins and fruit kabobs that were served at this morning's program. Fresh strawberries grown in Evans County were used to make these beautiful breakfast items. The college and career academy appreciates opportunities to partner with our community and provide our students leadership experiences. #TheDEN #agriculture

🌪️🌦️ Science in Action with Mrs. Myers’ 6th Grade Earth Science Class! 🌦️🌪️ Last week, Mrs. Myers' 6th grade Earth Science class students didn’t just learn about extreme weather — they experienced it! Through the Learning Dome by Operation Teach: FORCE FIVE, our young scientists took on the roles of hurricane hunters and storm chasers, diving deep into how storms form and unleash their power. From the devastation of the 1900 Galveston hurricane to standing in the eye of a tornado and witnessing solar storms, students connected their learning to real-world meteorology in an unforgettable way. All of this ties into our Earth Science standard S6E4, where students are: ☀️ Learning how the sun, land, and water shape climate and weather 🌬️ Exploring the relationship between air pressure, weather fronts, and air masses 🌩️ Explaining how these factors create powerful events like tornadoes and thunderstorms This immersive experience made science come alive — and showed just how thrilling learning can be! #ForceFive #STEMLearning #LearningDome #WeatherInTheClassroom #S6E4 #MiddleSchoolScience #HurricaneHunters #StormChasers #ScienceIsAwesome
