Comet Connection
Keeping you connected with Silver City ES!
Admin Universe
Remember your teachers are here to help you every step of the way so constant communication with them is critical to your success over the course of these three weeks leading up to Spring Break. Our expectation is that you are:
- participating in class meetings via Google Meets (or whatever other platform your teacher uses),
- signing up for one-on-one conferences with your teachers,
- completing all assignments and assessments, and
- turning in all the work that is assigned.
The assignments that are being given right now will go towards your Q4 report card, so they are not optional. If, at any point, you have questions or need help, contact your homeroom teacher and they will assist in any way they can.
We are all working together to help make these online learning days as successful as possible and keeping you on track with the standards that need to be mastered by the end of your current grade level. We can and will do this TOGETHER!
Providing a Galaxy of Support
Need a Chromebook? If you still are in need of a chromebook or hot spot, please reach out to your child's homeroom teacher and let them know, as well as our ITS, Mr. Smith, at mrsmith@forsyth.k12.ga.us. We still have chromebooks available, so if you need one you can pick one up between 8:00-11:30am any day next week.
