We are planning for the upcoming school year with you in mind! This year we are excited to announce that our Heard County School System will be providing school supplies to ALL students at every school this year! We are so grateful and thankful for this blessing. The link below will show you what the school system is providing for your child. There are a few additional items that you will need such as a book bag and if your child is Pre-K age they will need a nap mat. Teachers will also need items like Kleenex and zip lock bags. There will be a list of these items in your open house information packet if you would like to purchase for the class. Again, a huge thank you to our Heard County School System for this awesome gift!

This is the link needed to request broadband access.
Dear Fellow Georgians:
With your help, the Georgia Broadband Opportunity Act (HB 244) passed in July and was signed into law by Gov. Kemp in August. That bill could not have been passed without your help.
HB 244 gave the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) the responsibility to set the rates that broadband service providers are charged to attach to electric membership cooperative utility poles.

Broadband service providers attach to utility poles in order to bring broadband access to rural Georgians. Currently, the EMCs are charging nearly triple what companies like Georgia Power and AT&T are charging to attach to their poles. These excessive attachment costs are a barrier for broadband providers to be able to invest in rural communities that so desperately need broadband access.
This week, the Georgia Public Service Commission will begin to decide those rates which will determine the speed and reality at which broadband is expanded into Georgia’s rural communities!
We NEED YOU to tell the Georgia Public Service Commissioners how badly you need reliable broadband access and to vote for reasonable, cost-based rates to attach to EMC owned poles.

Thank you for your help, we’ll be in touch soon with more updates.

Students are enjoying a new piece of playground equipment, tetherball. This addition is one of a few that our 19-20 fundraiser money purchased.
The new basketball goals look great too. Thank you to our community for supporting our school fundraisers.
Pre-K students explore the world around them, color and texture. Autumn is in the air.
Tomorrow is Extreme Brave Day. Students may purchase a Brave head tattoo tomorrow for 50 cents.
Parent/Teacher Conferences are this week, September 21 - 24th.
Heard County School System will be closed for children on Thursday, September 17th. School will be closed due to an overabundance of caution after watching the 11:30 a.m. National Weather Service briefing. We have large concerns for the amount of rain forecasted for our area. Dirt roads and gravel roads will likely be washed out and make travel impossible in some areas.
