RenWeb Connection

As many of you know, we have gone to a new School Management Software called RenWeb. RenWeb has many useful tools but one of the most important tools for you is known as ParentsWeb. ParentsWeb is a private and secure parents' portal that will allow parents to see academic information specific to their children, while protecting their children's information from others. Other information you will be able to view will be attendance, daily grades, progress reports, lesson plans, homework, missing assignments, announcements, school calendar, etc. If you are not already using our new RenWeb/ParentsWeb system please stop by the office and pick up the one-page floyer that will walk you through our easy on-line process.

Smith Attends Girls State

In June, six local high school juniors went to Georgia Southern University in Statesboro to join approximately 300 other girls in setting up the Mythical State of Georgia Girls State. Girls State is sponsored by The American Legion Auxiliary. Girls State is a government-oriented state, made up of 12 cities, four counties and an elected governor. The girls learn about government by campaigning, voting and electing their own officials and learn flag etiquette by raising and lowering the flag everyday. The girls return home with a better understanding of being a good citizen. From left are Morgan Rogers, Shemelia Bush, Tamara Gibson, Jodie Sanders, Emily Ward and Abbey Smith. Congratulations Abbey!!
