A Parent's Guide to Google Classroom
Being a parent isn't for weaklings! You have a tough job that you cannot afford to take a day off of. Students at SCHS are going to work through the Google Classroom platform for the duration of the 2020-21 School Year in every class. It is not going away, and you need to know how to operate it so that when your student gets stumped or (even worse) when they convince you that it is broke because he or she does not want to do work tonight, you can combat that. It is vital that you invest into knowing how your kid's classes work, and everything has changed with COVID. With some investment, you can learn about Google Classroom and keep your child moving forward with his or her education.
Here is a valuable class that you can take where we will show you how to help your kids be successful:

This Post Is for College-Bound Freshmen and Sophomores and their Parents
If your student's future plans include college, the 9th and 10th grade years are when a student should start thinking about and planning for the next stage of education. College doesn't just happen, and often requires a lot of daydreaming, investigating and forethought.
Rick Clark, the director of Admissions at GA Tech., has put together a series of short podcasts that will educate students and parents on a wide variety of college admissions tasks and objectives important to being ready when a senior is starting applications.
Here is a link to access this information. It is well worth the small investment of time!

State School Superintendent Richard Woods seeks 2020-21 Student Advisory Council
Please review the “Application Instructions” section at the bottom of this release if you would like to apply.
CONTACT FOR STUDENTS/APPLICANTS: students@doe.k12.ga.us
September 1, 2020 – State School Superintendent Richard Woods is seeking high school students to serve on his 2020-21 Student Advisory Council. These students will meet with Superintendent Woods to discuss the impact of state policies in the classroom, along with other issues related to education, and will serve as the Superintendent’s ambassadors to their respective schools.
Applicants must be enrolled in a Georgia public high school for the 2020-21 school year (virtual learning students are still considered enrolled). The Student Advisory Council’s first meeting will be held virtually on November 5, 2020. Other meeting dates will be set and announced to participants at a later time.
“Now more than ever, it is essential for me to hear directly from students about their educational experience and the impact of state policy decisions on the classroom,” Superintendent Woods said. “My Student Advisory Council has been an invaluable resource in the past and has allowed me to learn from the perspectives of students across our state. I look forward to meeting with the 2020-21 Council soon.”
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Click here for the 2020-21 Student Advisory Council application. Applications must be submitted by October 1, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. Late applications will not be accepted.
Selected students will be contacted via email. All students may visit gadoe.org/studentadvisory on October 15, 2020 at 10 a.m. to see whether they have been accepted. Please note that we typically receive hundreds more applications than we are able to accept, and not being selected for the Student Advisory Council does not mean the student’s application was not strong.
