New Security System Implementation Begins Tomorrow Starting tomorrow, our school will implement a new weapons detection system. All students and visitors will be required to walk through this system upon entering the building. To help keep arrival smooth and efficient, we ask that students: • Wear their backpacks on their backs • Have binders in their hands to give to school personnel Bus riders and car riders will receive guidance from bus drivers and school personnel when they arrive. Through testing, we’ve learned that certain items can trigger the system, including: • Metal eyeglass cases • Metal pencil boxes • Flashlights • Umbrellas • Binders These items do not need to be left at home — students are welcome to bring and use them. However, to ease the screening process, students should hold these items in their hands and be ready to hand them to a staff member before passing through the detector. We understand this is a change and may create minor inconveniences. We appreciate your patience and support as we take steps to ensure a safer school environment for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation and positivity!

Today our Spanish class participated in a Spanish Verb Review by hunting for verbs tucked into plastic eggs. Students practiced making present progressive verbs, affirmative tú commands, conjugating regular verbs, irregular verbs, and reflexive verbs. There was a prize egg for each class and candy for all students to enjoy! They worked great together helping each other. It was a beautiful day for hunting for verb eggs. "¡Eggcelente!" 🐣

La casa de mis sueños Our Spanish students created their dream home. They used their new vocabulary to label the names of the rooms and the floor levels in a home. They also wrote complete sentences in Spanish answering 20 questions, including writing a short description of their dream home! What an accomplishment! From "hola" in August, to writing complex sentences! Congratulations Spanish students!

Southern Crescent offers so many opportunities to our students. Southern Crescent shared with us the following: "I am writing to let you know about a few exciting, upcoming initiatives at Southern Crescent Technical College: 1. Our summer internship partnership with the Henry County Water Authority is open again this year—students selected for the internship will work a paid job with the HCWA over the summer and will take an SCTC class through Dual Enrollment during that term. There is an information session on Thursday, April 17, at 5:30pm at SCTC’s Henry County Center (300 Lakemont Drive in McDonough). Interested students will need to attend that session where application and hiring information will be provided. 2. We are offering a one week Ag Camp in Butts County and Upson County this summer—interested students can email me for more details, but it’s a great opportunity for them to learn about this industry through hands-on demonstrations, tours with local business partners, and interactive sessions. 3. Our Ag Entrepreneur Certificate program is starting this fall—students who complete the two semester credential during the 2025-26 school year will be eligible to participate in a pitch contest with $2500 going to the winner for startup costs. Again, interested students can email me with any questions. 4. Lastly, we have another more open-ended Entrepreneurship program that consists of primarily business classes (the Ag program will include both business and Ag coursework) that also culminates in a pitch contest with prize money. If you have any students who would like to participate in this, please have them reach out to me. We are excited about these opportunities for your students, and are hopeful we’ll have quite a few that are interested. " If any students have any questions at all, please talk to their counselor!
