HEARING SCREENINGS
The county mandated Hearing Screenings for this school year will be held on  Wednesday, October 2nd and Friday, October 4th .  All 1st and 4th grade students will be screened.  This screening is not a substitute for a complete hearing examination; it is merely a way for Cobb County to recommend further testing for those students that do not pass the screening.  Some students who are referred to a specialist for follow - up may have normal exams.

 FOUNDATION NEWS
THE VOYAGE  
We've had a great time learning and growing in cooperation with your children. It has been an incredible time on The Voyage so far! We have seen Cooperation spreading throughout our school, and we hope that you have seen it at home as well. Remember our Anchor: "Cooperation is working well with others." Our goal is that even after this unit is done, your children will carry this character trait with them.

As we wrap up this unit, our Action Point focuses on one more key area: "Cooperation means sometimes you compromise." We know compromise can be challenging for children, so our goal this week is to help them understand why it is so important. We would love it if you can remind them of this while they are at home! Thanks for joining us on The Voyage. We couldn't do it without you!
 
Don't forget to take a look at the Flyer that came home before Fall Break for discussion starters and a family activity!
