Healthy Kids, Smart Kids

Stonewall Tell Elementary has adopted the Healthy Kids, Smart Kids wellness initiative. We believe that healthier eating habits and consistent exercise have a positive impact on our children’s learning and ultimately their test scores. When sending classroom snacks, please remember that this is a “Sugar-Free Zone” school. Do not send soft drinks, fruit drinks with processed sugar, candy, cookies, ice cream, cupcakes, cakes, hot fries or sugary snacks. Also note that birthday parties that include cakes, cookies, wings, ice cream and other treats are prohibited and will not be allowed in the building. Healthier items such as fruit cups, fresh fruit, pretzels, baked chips, 100% juice, fresh vegetables, 100% fruit snacks, granola bars, animal crackers and items with low salt and minimum sugar are allowed.

** Due to nut allergies, please do not send any snacks with peanuts or peanut butter in them.

Parents please note that if your child has a fever of at least 100

degrees (F) they must be “fever-

free” for 24 hours before returning to school. This policy will be strictly

enforced so that we might combat/prevent the spread of any flu-like virus in the school.

Strategic Plan 2017

This is the school system’s roadmap for how Fulton County Schools

aims to improve student achievement over the next five years. Three

goals serve as the district’s measure for long-term student success,

which is that students will graduate on time and be ready for college or

the workforce.

• Graduation Rate – 90% of Fulton students will graduate on

time

• College Readiness – 85% of Fulton’s seniors will be

eligible for admission to a University System of Georgia college or

university

• Career Readiness – 100% of Fulton's graduates will be

work-ready certified

“These are big goals, but they are attainable,” said Superintendent

Avossa. “Our strategic plan is focused on improving outcomes for all

students, and the only way to do this is to set measurable goals and put

supports in place to help our students and staff to reach them.”

To that end, as part of its “Building Our Future” strategic planning

initiative, the school system will focus on five key areas – instruction,

people, technology, effective schools and resources – to drive

improvement.

• Instruction – Students will be engaged in learning that

enables them to reach their full potential for college and career

readiness

• People – Fulton County Schools will attract and retain the

most talented and effective employees in K-12 education

• Technology – Students, parents, teachers and administrators

will have the tools and information they need to accelerate learning

• Effective Schools – School leadership will be collaborative

and will balance innovation with accountability

• Resources – Student needs will be supported with efficient

and effective allocation of staff, instructional materials and equipment

The strategic plan will guide the system’s direction over the next five

years and is the result of many conversations with the school board,

teachers and school leaders as well as engagement with parents and the

community.

The plan is posted at www.fultonschools.org/StrategicPlan2017.

Counselor’s Corner

How to Manage Anger Constantly blowing your stack not only alienates others, it can contribute to health problems, including headaches, stomach upset and heart attack.

To take control:

Count to 10 & take 3 or 4 deep breaths. Ask yourself: “Will this really matter a year from now?”

Walk it off. Go for a short stroll. Find a place where you can think out loud and take a second look at how you are reacting to a situation.

Distract yourself. Example: In a traffic jam, play soothing music instead of pounding the horn. At work, dive into a task to turn negative energy positive.

Keep a log. Monitor hostile thoughts to discover how frequently your temperature rises. This will help sort out the real causes of your anger, which are often things beyond control.

ASK for help. Don’t be afraid to try counseling, meditation, lifestyle changes or other kinds of ongoing psychological help. Your health may depend on it.

In November 2011, Fulton County voters approved a one-penny education sales tax to fund new schools, renovations and additions, and provide enhanced technology across the county. The five-year building and construction plan calls for some of the district’s most outdated schools to be replaced with new state-of-the-art facilities. In order to move forward with those plans, three elementary schools in South Fulton – Oak Knoll, Harriet Tubman, and Mt. Olive – are slated for closure due to aging facility conditions. These would be replaced by two new schools – one at the former College Park Elementary School site and another at a yet-to-be-determined location. If approved by the school board, the schools would be closed after the 2013-2014 and 2015-2016 school years.

To share information and gather input, a series of meetings are planned for late October, November and December.

School system staff will explain the redistricting process, collect information for drawing revised attendance zones, gather input on future use for the facilities, and share information on the two replacement schools scheduled to open in fall 2014 and 2016.

Middle and high school boundaries Also at the meetings, school system staff will ask parents for input into how new boundaries should be drawn for South Fulton middle and high schools. The revised attendance zones are necessary due to the recent opening of the new Banneker High School, which has available space due to its larger size. Middle school enrollments also are being reviewed to balance the number of students among schools. The schedule for the three rounds of community meetings are as follows: •Round 1 – Monday, Oct. 29 (Woodland MS) and Tuesday, Oct. 30 (Banneker HS) •Round 2 – Monday, Nov. 26 (Woodland MS) and Tuesday, Nov. 27 (Banneker HS) •Round 3 – Monday, Dec. 10 (Woodland MS) and Tuesday, Dec. 11 (Banneker HS)

Each meeting will begin at 7 p.m. Parents should only plan to attend one meeting per round at either location. Final recommendations will be presented in January 2013 with approval expected in February. Regards, Yngrid L. Jones-Huff Executive Director, Operational Planning

It isn’t easy to remember everything that we possibly may need to

know to succeed in life today. From to-do lists, to schedules, to post –it

notes there aren’t enough fingers for strings to go around reminding us

of our day to day responsibilities.

Then when our children get in the midst of it all we have to

remember their schedules on top of our own we may sometimes forget to

take a breather. It happens to the best of us. Just know that it is okay to

step back, take a deep breath and just smile. Smiling is many times one

of the best medicines when you have so much going on in life. Just an

“out of the blue” smile will not only help you to relax and possibly

remember what you thought you had forgotten.

Smiling helps you to remember that “life is good”. One person

smiling will encourage another to smile and before long you will have

started a trend. Before you realize it the thought that so quickly left

your mind will re-enter your mind because it has been de cluttered. So,

the next time you are in a frustrating moment and cannot remember

what you were supposed to do next; just remember that there is a

Special Magic In Living Every day, and that magic is as simple as a

S.M.I.L.E.
