📚✨ Georgia Milestones Family Night at Lyons Upper Elementary! ✨📚

We invite you to join us on Thursday, February 19 at 5:00 PM for an informative session focused on the upcoming Georgia Milestones Assessment in April.

This session will provide:
✅ Important information about state testing
✅ Tips to help your child feel confident and prepared
✅ An opportunity to ask questions
✅ Stations where families can create encouragement posters and letters to be displayed and given during testing

We want our students to walk into testing season feeling confident, prepared, and supported — and that starts with strong home-school partnership! 💙

⚖️👩‍⚖️ Order in the Court! 👩‍⚖️⚖️ Court was officially in session in Judge Amy Payne’s classroom today, where the case of The People vs. Artificial Intelligence was brought before a very thoughtful jury. Students stepped up as attorneys, passionately presenting their opinion writing and arguing whether AI is a trusted friend or a dangerous foe. Witnesses were called to the stand in the form of strong evidence, facts were examined, and claims were cross-examined with precision and purpose. The courtroom buzzed with persuasive arguments, critical thinking, and confident speaking as each side made its case. In this court, every opinion required proof beyond a reasonable doubt! Verdict? Learning wins. Every. Single. Time. 🏛️📚

📚 Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow!

Good attendance builds strong habits and opens doors for future success. From preschool to high school and beyond, showing up every day matters.

Did you know? Missing just 2 days a month can put a student off track. Every day counts!

Let’s work together to make attendance a priority and help our students shine bright this year! 🌟 #EveryDayCounts #AttendTodayAchieveTomorrow
