Psychology Students Escape the Breakout EDU Boxes
Psychology students participated in their second Breakout EDU session in the media center on Tuesday, 2/18. Students had to work through information about the brain and how information is processed in order to unlock the keys and boxes associated with the activity. All groups managed to escape within the 45 minute time limit and enjoy their treats.
Georgia Parent Survey
The Georgia Parent Survey contains 24 questions. Parents may complete the survey using their personal computer, smartphone, or tablet. All parents are encouraged to participate in the Georgia Parent Survey because the data will be used as part of the calculation of the School Climate Star Rating. Survey responses are anonymous, self-reported, and will be submitted directly to the Georgia Department of Education for analysis. The Georgia Parent Survey is also available in Spanish. Parents may select the Spanish version within the survey. The Georgia Parent Survey link is posted below. The survey closes on March 2.
