If the weather is nice, we will continue with an outside field day and we ask that familes carpool due to limited parking spaces. Also, parents students do not have to dress in uniform tomorrow but must be in dress code (no holes in shorts or inappropriate clothing allowed). If students have a St. Marys t-shirt or previous field day t-shirt, we encourage students to wear them. Please ensure that your child wear shorts and tennis shoes due to the hot weather. Shorts cannot be more than 3 inches above their knees.

St. Marys Parents,

This is Ms. Hamilton the proud principal of St. Mary's Magnet Academy with an important announcement. The time for Georgia Milestone testing is here!. Tomorrow, April 22nd all 3rd – 5th grade students will take the English Language Arts Part 1 of the Georgia Milestone test. Remember, this a state-mandated test and students must participate. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD IS ON TIME TO SCHOOL TOMORROW AND THEY EAT BREAKFAST. Breakfast is served at the school from 7:00 a.m. – 7:30 a.m. Not only do we need all 3rd-5th grade students on time, but we need all of our K-2nd grade students on time and present so everyone can be in their seat so all doors will be closed and the building quiet.

Due to online testing, we will start no later than 8:00 a.m. in order to give students ample time to complete their test and it will end at approximately 12:00 p.m. Lastly, once testing has started students will not be permitted to check-out during testing. Please consider this as you arrange appointments.

Parents, please encourage your child to take their time for testing and do their absolute best. We are depending on you to help us keep your child motivated.
Lastly, each day all students have an opportunity to win a treat or a gift bag for being on time and good behavior throughout the day. In order to be entered into the drawing each student must be in class by 8:00 a.m. and show good behavior throughout the day. Please ensure that your child has an opportunity to win!

Thank you for your cooperation and for encouraging your child to do their best!

If you have any further questions, please contact the main office at (706) 683-8841 between 7:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
