*PARENTS–We would greatly appreciate you taking the time to complete the Georgia School Climate Survey.  This survey is part of the data used in a school’s CCRPI (College and Career Ready Performance Index) calculations.  It also provides valuable information to schools and districts for planning purposes each school year.  Please take a few minutes to complete the surveyhere.  The deadline has been extended to February 26.  Thank you in advance!

*The DCSD has contracted with Curriculum Management Services, Inc. (CMSI) to conduct a review of the alignment of district curriculum and assessments with GA Standards of Excellence, GA Performance Standards, GA Milestones Assessment System,  and other required assessments.  As part of the audit, CMSI is requesting feedback from DCSD parents.  To take the survey, clickhere or visit the DCSD main website www.dekalb.k12.ga.us .

*A reminder that courses which will be tested through the GA Milestones Assessment End of Course Tests will have an impact on students’ final grade for this semester.  The EOC will count as 20% of a student’s final grade in Biology, Physical Science, 9th Grade Literature, 11th Grade Literature, U.S. History, Economics, Coordinate Algebra/Accelerated Coordinate Algebra-Geometry, Coordinate Geometry/Accelerated Coordinate Geometry-Advanced Algebra.  For more information on these courses and parent/student resources, visit the GA Department of Education here.
