Teacher Announcements/Information

Mrs. Cutler

The most important year for high school success has come to a close!I wanted to express my gratitude for your support and patience as I experienced what all of you already have, the birth of my first child! I have noticed in many of this years’ class a great curiosity for what else is “out there” beyond the Metro Atlanta area. I encourage you to support your child in their interests and please know that that their teachers are here to support you as well. Moving forward to the upper levels of high school you will notice that the students will be held to an even higher standard of accountability. Be sure to review the course syllabus for each class and obtain your online access to the gradebook at the beginning of the school year.

In tenth grade the students will be studying World History (my personal favorite); feel free to see me with any questions throughout the year. Below is the link to the standards for your information.

Have a wonderful summer break, and keep up on your Literature summer reading!

Remember………………….

“Greater international awareness is essential if we are to compete in the global economy, promote responsible citizenship, or just become better human beings.”

Greetings 9th Grade Parents!

Thank you for providing me with the opportunity to serve as your child's Biology teacher for their first year of high school. Each one of your children has exhibited not only great talent and creativity, but a great love of curiosity which is a wonderful asset in the science class room. I have whole-heartedly enjoyed our class room experiences, field trips and activities we have completed this year.

As your child moves to the subject of Chemistry in the 10th Grade, please feel free to contact Mrs. Arita Crawford in reference to all items which will assist your child in academic success:

As always, please feel free to contact me regarding any questions or concerns that you may have in the future. I also love to receive updates regarding student successes as they continue their journey through high school!

It has been a pleasure getting to know you!

Warmest Regards,

Ms. Pecot
