Title I Parent Packets are coming home on August 23. These documents were developed with the input of parents, students, and staff to help bridge the learning connection between home and school. Please sign and return the yellow pages.
I am excited to announce that race registration for this year's 5th Annual Backpack Buddies 5K is open! The race will be held on August 28th. As always, we will be offering a $500 prize to the school with the most people signed up. The Fun Run this year is sponsored by Coconuts and will be a super fun time for all our small runners. Pre-registration is open until 8/22. Not interested in running or walking, no problem! We have a Ghost Runner option that still scores you a super cute t-shirt and supports an amazing cause! Please encourage your staff, students, parents and other community members to sign up ASAP. https://runsignup.com/Race/GA/Cartersville/DowntownCartersville5KtosupportBackpackBuddies

One of the most important predictors of high school graduation is reading proficiency in THIRD grade. Before then, students are learning to read. After third-grade, students are reading to learn. The Read to Grow initiative pairs volunteers with first- and second-grade students to provide additional reading practice.
We need YOU, our community members, to support students who are struggling with foundational reading skills. If you can spend an hour a week (ideally) in one of our schools, you can make a difference in a child’s future. No experience is necessary, just attend a training and get started.
TRAINING DATES 2021:
8/5 at 6:00 pm 8/10 at 10:00 am
8/12 at 6:00 pm 8/17 at 10:00 am
Training will be held at the Bartow County College and Career Academy, 738 Grassdale Road, Cartersville. You do not need to register, just show up – and bring friends! We will cover everything you need to know in about an hour. You choose the school you’d like to visit and the day of the week. Most reading times are in the morning, but there is some availability in early afternoon.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact Kristy Mitchell at 770-606-5800, ext. 2043 or kristy.mitchell@bartow.k12.ga.us. We look forward to you joining our team!
