Join PTO Today

We did it!  We voted as a PTA to dissolve our unit and can now proceed with unifying with the Evansdale Education Foundation.  From here on, you will see a transition as we will use PTO instead of PTA.  We also will take this opportunity to change our communications platform.  So, to receive weekly email newsletters combining PTO, school and district announcements, please sign up here HERE!
Thank you for helping us move forward as a community.


 
Holiday Luncheon

Once again, we opened our doors for families to gather and eat a Thanksgiving meal with their students. 

Thank you to Stephany Elias, our special luncheons chair, and her team of volunteers for creating a festive environment. Thank you to our cafeteria staff for preparing such a delicious meal. Next up is the Holiday Luncheon on December 12th for 2nd, 3rd and 5th graders. 
 
Cherokee Stories

Before the break, students engaged in a performance of the folklore and lifeways of the Cherokee people led by storyteller Barry Stewart Mann.
 We loved how he brought famous cultural figures to life! PTO supports the cultural arts program with in-school assemblies for students to gain exposure to the arts. If you know of a performer or group that might be suitable for this program, please contact us.

DCSD has launched a Disconnect to Reconnect pilot in 18 schools for 2024-2025 to support the Student Code of Conduct, strengthen the skills outlined in DCSD’s new Portrait of a Graduate, and based on research and feedback to promote better learning habits, enhance student engagement, increase academic integrity, improve social skills, and support mental health.

Mission & Vision

The vision of the DeKalb County School District is to inspire our community of learners to achieve educational excellence. Our mission is to ensure student success, leading to higher education, work, and life-long learning. We are making this vision and mission a reality – every day, in every classroom throughout the District.

Through community forums, focus groups, listening sessions, and more, we have engaged our stakeholders, refined our objectives, honed our procedures, and formulated a robust, highly-structured yet agile and adaptive strategic plan. We are pleased with the progress we have made thus far, and excited about the future – of our District, our community, and, most importantly, the 100,000+ students who daily bring to us their limitless potential.

The District has created performance measures, targets, and initiatives to ensure success in each goal area. A monitoring and data collection process has been developed, and rigorous progress check procedures have been implemented. At the local level, on-going training sessions are offered to all principals in order to support the work of aligning, refining, monitoring, and evaluating the continuous improvement efforts of each individual school.

As a community of learners, we are committed to excellence in everything we do – within the classroom and throughout the District. This continuous improvement process permeates each aspect of our Strategic Plan, and we are honored to partner with you to make it a reality for all.
