On behalf of all of us at Shakerag, thank you for sharing your amazing children with us this year. We have enjoyed teaching and learning with them and are proud of their efforts and enthusiasm for school. This time of year is always a little sad for us as we say farewell to our 5th graders as they go off to River Trail and those that may not be returning in the fall. We wish you all nothing but continued success!
We also want to thank our countless volunteers and business partners that helped make this a special year for our children - we appreciate you!
We hope you all have an AMAZING summer and we look forward to seeing everyone in August!

We anticipate receiving individual student results for the GA Milestones assessment in late July. We will get them ready to send home with students in August upon our return. Once we have them ready for distribution, we will post a notification on our website. Those of you that would like to pick them up prior to the start of the school year may do so during our normal summer hours (7:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.). The parents of students in grades 3 and 5 who may not have met state promotion criteria have already been notified.
