Principal’s Message [email protected]
I struggled with what message I would send in this months newsletter. With three break-ins in the couple of months that we have been in our relocation site, it has been hard to stay positive. Yet, even with adversity, we don’t give up. We continue to seek ways to ensure that our students have a positive learning experience, in a safe and nurturing environ-ment. To ensure that everyone has the correct details as I know them. Yes, we have been burglarized/vandalized three times
since we have taken residence in the Parks MS building. Each of those times we have suffered some kind of loss of merchandise. We are working with the district on any options of support in replacing those items. They have replaced computers that were taken from the Media Center and repaired doors and win-dows that were used as entry points. The PTA and School Council is looking for parents to work with them on solu-tion finding meetings to see how we can move forward this school year ensur-ing our students have access to the technology that was robbed from them. Please reach out to the following people to offer your support: Kwo Redhead, School Council Chairperson (678) 274-2100 Elizabeth Bell, PTA President (678) 334-6957 If you have any questions, or would like to discuss any of this, please contact me at (404) 802-7600 or via email at [email protected] .

October 2015 Happy Halloween!
Career Fest 2015 will be November 18, 2015. If you are interested in sharing information
about your career on that day, please contact the school’s counselor, Ms. Harkless-Brown.
We are focusing on good character traits. Character is the foundation for all academic, interpersonal relation-ships and personal and social growth. When good char-acter traits become life long habits for students, more success is possible at home, school, and later in life. George Washington Carver, an American inventor and botanist said, “How far you go depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged,
sympathetic with the striving and tolerant with the weak and the strong. Because someday in life, you will have been all of these. During the month of October we will focus mainly on the great character traits of kindness, courtesy, coop-eration, and honesty.

“Minions” of Students Brag About
Perfect Attendance!
If you are after eight...You are late!!! School starts promptly at 8:00. If a child is late, his or her parent should come inside the building and check the child into school.
The Smallest Girl in the Smallest Grade By: Justin Roberts
Sally notices everything—from the twenty-seven keys on the janitor’s ring to the bullying happening on the playground. One day, Sally has had enough and decides to make herself heard. And when she takes a chance and stands up to the bullying, she finds that one small girl can make a big difference

Red Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country! Red Ribbon Week serves as a vehicle for communities and individuals to take a stand for the hopes and dreams of our children through a commitment to drug prevention and educa-tion. The ultimate goal is the creation of drug free America. Red Ribbon Week commemorates the ultimate sacrifice made by DEA Special Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, who died at the hands of drug dealers in Mexico while fighting the battle against illegal drugs to keep our country and children safe.
Bullying is aggressive behavior that is inten-tional, repeated over time, and involves an imbalance of power or strength. A child who is being bullied has a hard time defending himself or herself. There can be physical bullying (hitting or kicking); non-verbal or emotional bullying (intimidating through exclusion or social ex-clusion; verbal bullying (teasing or name-calling); and cyberbullying (Internet or other social media devices). Create an “Act of Kindness “each day and challenge others to so the same!
