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.
We can’t wait to see all of our students at our
annual Sneak Peek on August 2 (8:00
a.m. – 11:00 a.m.). The first day of school is August 6 (7:40 a.m. – 2:20 p.m.). Please click here to review the 2018-2019 school calendar for Shakerag Elementary. Our
school calendar is slightly different from the original Fulton County school
calendar. Our students will also be out on September 4, November 26, and
February 19 so our teachers can engage in additional professional development
opportunities.

Georgia Milestones Results for Grade 3 - 5
We anticipate receiving individual student results for the GA Milestones assessment in late July. We will get them ready to send home with the 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 the students who may not have met state benchmarks have already been notified.

We are excited to inform you that during the summer break, students currently enrolled in Grades K-2 will have access to iRead (click here) and i-Ready (click here) Math. Students currently enrolled in Grades 3-5 will have access to i-Ready Reading and Math. Please note if students in Grades 1 and 2 already had access to i-Ready Reading, they will continue to have access to i-Ready Reading.

Strategic Plan 2022 Survey
About a week ago, you should have received an email requesting your feedback for Fulton County to help the district determine if it is meeting targets related to Strategic Plan 2022! If you have not had a chance to complete the survey, there is still time! The SP2022 survey takes just 10 minutes, and while we will make it available until June 8, we hope you will take the time to answer the questions right away.
Here is a link to the family survey: SP2022 Family Survey (https://bit.ly/2wsKpmd)
We are excited to learn your perception of how things are going and identify some areas where we can continue to grow.
If you have any questions, please send them to communications@fultonschools.org.
Thank you so much for your feedback!
