Carroll to assume principalship at CES
|
A Carrollton Elementary School assistant principal has been tapped to become the school's new instructional leader following the promotion of its current principal to a key district office position.
The Carrollton Board of Education, at its Feb. 13 meeting, is expected to approve the promotions of Kylie Carroll, pictured at right, to principal of CES and Amanda Carden to director of Student Support for the school district.
Dr. Mark Albertus, superintendent, said Carden's new position supports the district's commitment to serving all students, including those with special challenges.
"Mrs. Carden's heart has always been drawn to these students in particular and she will do everything in her power to support them, their families, our schools, and our staff," he said.
Following several years of leadership experience at other schools, Carroll joined CES this school year as an assistant principal. She had served in the same capacity for Carroll County Schools at Providence and Sharp Creek elementary schools. Before entering the administrative ranks, she taught first grade at Temple Elementary and Providence Elementary, where she was named Teacher of the Year in 2012.
"Though she's only been at CES a short time, Mrs. Carroll has demonstrated exceptional leadership," said Albertus. "Her years of experience in other locations brings a fresh perspective to CES that has earned her a great deal of respect from the administrative team and teachers. She will ensure a smooth transition as principal of Carrollton Elementary School and will still work closely with Mrs. Carden as she moves forward in her new role."

Rubino, Eason are STAR student, teacher
|
Carrollton High School senior Katie Rubino was named the 2018 STAR Student at CHS, and what has become a recent tradition at the high school, surprised her STAR Teacher selection with a quick visit to her classroom to make the announcement. She chose Kim Eason, who was Katie's Accelerated Math teacher at Carrollton Junior High School.
"I am so honored to have been chosen by Katie as her STAR teacher," said Eason, who is now a math teacher at CHS. "It is especially humbling because I know what great teachers she has had in her years at Carrollton City Schools. This recognition has special significance for me because Katie is a part of my last full cohort of Accelerated Math students at CJHS - a group that will always be special to me."

Collaborative literacy grant to benefit CES
|
Three west Georgia entities - including Carrollton City Schools - have been awarded a nearly $74,000 grant for early language and literacy from the Georgia Governor's Office of Student Achievement and the Sandra Dunagan Deal Center for Early Language and Literacy.
The grant awarded to the school system, the University of West Georgia and the Carroll County Ferst Foundation for Childhood Literacy - through relationships established within the collaborative structure of the Carrollton-Carroll County Education Collaborative (CCEC) - will provide funds for the launch of an early learning campaign in Carroll County.
Through the grant, Carrollton Elementary School will expand its Kindergarten Boot Camp for approximately 100 preschoolers to ensure they are prepared for their first day of kindergarten during a four-week summer session that focuses on their language and literacy.
"Families of the participating students will learn and use language nutrition with their children and share this learning with neighbors and relatives in order for families to better support their children," said Karen Wild, director of school improvement at Carrollton City Schools. "This collaborative grant will facilitate connections between these incredible entities that will expand the opportunity to prepare children to enter school ready to learn." MORE
