Parents, The GaDOE traditional climate survey window is open and will remain open through Friday, March 1, 2024. The survey link is provided below. Georgia Parent Survey
https://gshs.gadoe.org/parents   The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) requires that schools notify parents/guardians about the student survey and give them the option to opt out before the student survey is administered.

Students in Mrs. Thomas 6th grade science class presented their problem based learning assignment yesterday. They took on Director Steven Spielberg and the gross misrepresentation of moon phases in his movie E.T. The Extraterrestrial. Students had to state a claim, present evidence, and their reasoning before the court. They were cross examined by the judge and classmates. In the end the students found Mr. Spielberg and his team guilty of misrepresenting the moon phases. They have asked that Mr. Spielberg digitally remaster the movie scene to reflect accurate science. What an awesome way to learn! We truly have the best here at CCMS! #elevate

Affordable Internet for Families with Students in the Crisp County School System and Other Qualifying Families The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP https://gta.georgia.gov/news/2023-05-19/georgia-technology-authority-launches-statewide-initiative-increase-affordable?ct=t(acpactnowGA_051923_cities)) is a federal benefit that aims to provide eligible households with a $30/month discount on their home Internet bill. In addition, the benefit provides a one-time $100 discount toward a connected device through a participating provider. We are committed to closing the broadband affordability gap so that every resident has equal access to the digital age opportunities. A household is eligible if one member of the household meets at least one of the criteria below: ● Has an income that is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (https://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty-guidelines) ● Participates in certain assistance programs, such as SNAP, Medicaid, Federal Public Housing Assistance, SSI, WIC, or Lifeline ● Is approved to receive benefits under the free and reduced-price school lunch program or the school breakfast program, including through the USDA Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) ● Received a Federal Pell Grant during the current award year ● Meets the eligibility criteria for a participating broadband provider’s existing low-income program ● Participates in one of several Tribal specific programs, such as Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance, Tribal Head Start (only households meeting the relevant income qualifying standard), Tribal TANF, or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations. To get started, households can visit https://www.GetACP.org, EducationSuperHighway’s pre-enrollment tool to see if they qualify, what documents they will need at the time of application, and to see a list of “free with ACP” home internet plans.
