Connected to the Vision
From the business community to parents and teacher, there are opportunities for everyone in Metro Atlanta to get “connected to the vision” of Atlanta Public Schools.
Principal for a Day: If you have ever wanted to know the ins and outs of your neighborhood school, the best way to learn is to come inside. Each year Atlanta Public Schools teams up with the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce to give business and civic leaders that opportunity. We caught up with this year’s recruits at the Principal for a Day Breakfast.
Mathematics Initiative: The new district mathematics imitative means more professional development to ensure that students get excited about learning the subject, from kindergarten through graduation.
Profiles in Excellence: Daneea Badio: Periodically, APS Today spotlights the achievements of outstanding graduates in our “Profiles in Excellence” segment. This month, we would like to introduce you to an APS alumna who is an advocate for the homeless, a poet and a motivational speaker. In short, Daneea Badio is a messenger.
Homework Hotline: Say a student gets stumped by one of those math problems after the school day has ended. Not to worry. That’s when Homework Hotline team springs into action.
Newsbriefs: On the APS roster of top stories:
- APS Superintendent Dr. Beverly Hall receives the Legacy Award from Big Brothers, Big Sisters Sutton Middle School dedicates its newly renovated campus
- APS shows staff members at all levels how they can remain “Connected to the Vision”
Walk For Success: “Solicitors” recently canvassed neighborhoods around The New Schools at Carver, Washington and South Atlanta high schools. But this was not your typical door-to-door sales force. The Walk for Success team invited students and their families to sign up for future success.
