☀️🎵 Summer School Fun🎵☀️ Our Tigers just belted out a serenade to a favorite barnyard friend, the cow! After reading some barnyard riddles, our Tigers used music to revisit what they read! #WeLoveOurTigers #SummerSchoolFun

This week, we dive into summer with reading a good book! 📚 Join us as we explore new worlds and adventures through books. CMS and CHS students, don't forget that you can access books on any device using the Sora, by Overdrive App , and your school Google account. We also encourage all of our Tigers to visit the Claxton-Evans County Library (https://strl.info/claxton-evans_county_library/index.php)!

Writing fun was in the air during our annual Spring Writing Celebration at the Evans County Public Fishing Area (PFA)! Winners from our K-12 district writing contests were definitely in their "Writer Era" as they competed in a series of events, including a Getting to Know You Found Writing Challenge, Fearless Fin Tales, Mad Libs, Heart Pumping and Ideas Flowing, Casting Fish Tales, Lunch Lotto, Writing Remix, Story Rocks, Dice, and Critters, and a Bubble Wand Challenge. Throughout the day, our students also worked to demonstrate their Seven Mindset (social emotional learning) and 4C (communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking) skills. We are thankful to our students, staff, community volunteers, and the Evans County PFA for making this celebration possible! #WeLoveOurTigerWriters #CelebrateOurStudents #SpringWritingCelebration2024

Please help us spread the reminder, Tiger Nation! INDIVIDUAL STUDENT GMAS REPORTS AND REPORT CARDS WENT HOME LAST WEEK! If your child was in any of the following subjects/grade-levels, he or she should have a GMAS report detailing achievement this year: -3rd-8th grade ELA -5th grade science -8th grade social studies -8th grade physical science -High school American literature -High school biology -High school US history Please note that the state of Georgia will not share GMAS results for math until later in the fall.

Those GMAS results will be shared after we receive them from the state. Please review your child's GMAS results and talk with them about their achievement. If you need a copy of your child’s GMAS results, report cards, or other achievement data for your Tiger, please stop by your child’s school on Monday-Thursday, between 8:00 AM- 4:00 PM, from June 3-June 20th.
